Answer:

B. Hypertonic

Explanation:

A hypertonic environment is a solution in which the number of solutes is greater than the number of solvent, or concentration of solute is greater outside of a cell than inside of a cell.

The environment outside the vesicle is said to be hypertonic as the concentration of solute is greater outside the lipids vesicle, while the concentration of water or solvent is greater inside the lipids vesicle.

The interior of the lipid vesicle is hypotonic to the hypertonic surroundings, meaning the water flows out of the vesicle.

Anna007 [38]
So the the main forces that keep the water on the surface of the planet are to do with plate tectonics. If the plates were to stop moving, the water probably would eventually be absorbed into the interior, although this process would take a very long time indeed.

What is the difference between metaphase in mitosis and metaphase II in meiosis? How are they the same?
lora16 [44]

Answer:

What is the difference between Metaphase 1 and Metaphase 2? In Metaphase I, the 'pairs of chromosomes' are arranged on the Metaphase plate while, in the Metaphase II, the 'chromosomes' are arranged on the metaphase plate. In Metaphase I, the spindle fibers get attached to two centromeres of each homologous chromosome.

In metaphase 1 the pairs of chromosomes referred to as bivalents are totally condensed. Moreover the in metaphase 1 of meiosis there is no centromere division whereas in metaphase of mitosis it does. They align on the metaphase plate in between the poles.
