What term is used to describe a solution of lower osmolarity compared to one with a higher osmolarity?

When two solutions have different osmolarity, the solution with lower osmolarity is called hypoosmotic

<h3>What is osmolarity? </h3>

The term osmolarity defines the total concentration of solute particles present in a particular volume of solution.

If a solution has a high amount of solute particles in one litre of solution, this solution is termed to have high osmolarity. If a solution has a low amount of solute particles per litre of solution, it is said to have low osmolarity.

When comparing two solutions of different osmolarities, the solution with higher osmolarity will be called hypertonic and the solution with lower osmolarity is called hypotonic.

Therefore, the term used to describe a solution of lower osmolarity compared to a solution of higher osmolarity is hypotonic.

Eddi Din [679]

<u>Nitrogen Fixation</u> is a natural anaerobic process that removes nitrogen (in the form of nitrate, no3-) from the environment, converting it to <u>a form usable by living beings.</u>

<u />

Nitrogen fixation is an anaerobic (oxygen-free) process that converts atmospheric nitrogen (N2) to NH3. Bacteria are in charge of this process. Bacteria from both terrestrial and aquatic (water) environments are involved in this process.

Nitrogen is one of the most important nutrients for the survival of all living things. It is required for the formation of many biological molecules, which include proteins, DNA, and chlorophyll. Although nitrogen is prevalent in the atmosphere as dinitrogen gas (N2), most organisms cannot access it in this form, making nitrogen a scarce resource and frequently restricting primary productivity in many ecosystems. Nitrogen becomes available to primary producers such as plants only after it is transformed from dinitrogen gas to ammonia (NH3).

During the race the concentration of sugar in the athletes blood decreases
Margaret [11]
I would think this is true.
This may be caused by cellular respiration, precisely, the glycolysis stage of anaerobic respiration (because an athletes in a race would need immediate energy). Glucose breaks down at this stage to produce lactic acid, so it would probably make sense that the concentration of sugar decreases.

This is only what I think, and may not all be truth, so I suggest that you wait for a more 'advanced' response :D

Sloan [31]
The correct answer is A. maintaining homeostasis.
Homeostasis is a term referring to an organisms continuous process of maintaining and auto-regulating the conditions of its internal environment. Variables such as pH, temperature, and fluid balance need to be at optimal conditions in order for the organism to function properly.
In this example, the phosphate buffer system permits the organisms to maintain a constant pH in their intracellular fluid. This is one of the organism's homeostatic mechanisms.
