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.

What are the chances of a given gamete receiving your mom's chromosome #1.
Vilka [71]

A gamete is randomly getting a copy of a chromosome from its mother and father. This means that gamete will get #1 from the mother and the next chromosome will be a pure chance of getting chromosome #2 from mother or father.

Explanation:

  • Meiosis is the process that separates the two chromosomes and giving one copy of each to the gamete. This is the reason why egg and sperm together are forming zygote which is diploid.
  • The main advantage of sexual reproduction is that each clone is different. Each and every egg is different from each other. This is the same in the case of sperm too.
  •  At the end of meiosis, males will have 1 cell with 4 sperms all are different in nature, but in females, it will one egg because, during cell division, one cell will hog the cytoplasm.

What is the purpose of the biogeochemical cycles?
Natalija [7]
<span>When we are talking about biogeochemical cycles we are talking about the pathways by which a chemical substance moves through both the biosphere and the atmosphere. There are a number of cycles which come back to the starting point and which can be repeated. Moreover, the very term biogeochemical tells us that there are more than one factor involved. We have chemical, biological and geological factors at play. The circulation of chemical nutrients through the biological and physical world are known as biogeochemical cycles.</span>

What we need to do for speed up photosynthesis
Margarita [4]

Answers:

The ways to speed up photosynthesis is to <u>increase the amount of light </u>because with minimal light it slows photosynthesis down. Photosynthesis is also <u>dependent on temperature</u> and when the enzymes reach the perfect temperature which is around <u>50-68 degrees fahrenheit. An increase in carbon dioxide </u>will also speed up photosynthesis (this is more possible in a greenhouse). Carbon dioxide is used to make the sugar in order to create the reaction for photosynthesis to happen.
