Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Osmosis refers to the procedure by which the molecules of water move from the area where they are highly concentrated to the area where they are present in low concentration via a semipermeable membrane. One use of osmosis is that it provides support to plants.

A hypotonic solution refers to a kind of solution, which possess more molecules of solvent, in the given case it is water and fewer molecules of solute. The freshwater is hypotonic to plant cells, therefore, the cells of the plant captivate water osmotically, and its size increases and become turgid. This produces an external opposite pressure, which is equivalent to the wall pressure that maintains the plant's upright position.

Answer:

1,6 m / s ^ 2

Explanation:

De las leyes de Newton;

Fuerza = masa × aceleración

masa = 275 kg

Fuerza = 440 N

Aceleración = Fuerza / masa

Aceleración = 440N / 275Kg

Aceleración = 1,6 m / s ^ 2

In terms of communication, information is expressed either as the content of a message or through direct or indirect observation. That which is perceived can be construed as a message in its own right, and in that sense, information is always conveyed as the content of a message.

Information can be encoded into various forms for transmission and interpretation (for example, information may be encoded into a sequence of signs, or transmitted via a signal). It can also be encrypted for safe storage and communication.
