Answer:

Abyssopelagic zone lies just below the bathypelagic zone and the pressure in the abyssopelagic zone is the much more than the layer above it. The hydrosatic pressure there is much more because of the depth. The pressure increases by one atmosphere with each 10 meter increase in depth and the abyssal pressure ranges between 200 and 600 atmosphere. Thus, the pressure in the abyssopelagic zone is more than in the bathypelagic zone.

S. If cells of onion peel and RBC are separately kept in hypotonic solution, what will take place? Explain the reason for your a

stellarik [79]

Answer:

Well for the onion peel, since its a plant cell...it shall gain water from the solution as it has a lower water potentail,and hence increase in size, becoming turgid and tight, with the cell wall exerting pressure to stop it from bursting.

For the RBC, its an animal cell, and shall also gain water, but since there is no cell wall to support it, it shall soon gain so much water that it shall burst becuase of the pressure, through lysis, and shall die.

Note, the plant cell does not die.
