Answer:
Autotrophs
Explination: They are called this because they use the energy and simple inorganic compounds to produce organic molecules.
Answer: A
The cells would lose water and shrink. In a hypertonic solution, the
concentration of solute is higher than water in a cell. With this, there is a
net movement of water from inside to outside initiating water to lose from the
cytoplasm and vacuole causing the cell to shrink due to osmosis and achieve
equilibrium.
This process is applied in food preservation where microbial cells will
be dehydrated in a hypertonic environment, making them malfunction and preventing
them to cause food spoilage.
Answer:
65536 cells
Explanation:
starting from 1 cell at zero minutes there will be 1 (2^0) cell; 2^0 = 1
after 15 minutes there will be 2 (2^1) cells
after another 15 minutes ( 30 min) there will be 4 ( 2²) cells
after another 15 minutes ( 45 min) there will be 8 (2³) cells
after n number of 15 minutes there will be (2^n) cells
calculate number of 15 minutes in 4 hours
4 hours = 4 × 60 minutes
number ( n) of 15 minutes in 4 hours = (4 × 60 minutes) / 15 minute = 16
using the formula above and substitute 16 for n in the formula
Number of cells = 2 ^n = 2^16 = 65536 cells
<span>When a cell is in a dynamic equilibrium with its environment, this means that the salt/water concentration inside the cell is equal to the salt/water concentration outside the cell. It is called an equilibrium because no transport of molecules is needed since the concentrations are already the same.</span>
