The correct answer is false and here is why:

Clear cutting refers to the cutting of trees, specifically all of the trees in one select area. Replanting is not done and this leads to deforestation.

Controlled burns have a completely different affect. They burn the under brush to help keep the soil rich with nutrients, plus they also help to prevent large crown fires that burn down whole forests from happening.

Clear cutting is a bad thing and controlled burns are a good limiter for a forest.

Explain how and why hypertonic, isotonic, and hypotonic solutions affect plant and animals cells?

lesya692 [45]

When placed into an hypertonic solution, animal cells will shrivel up, while plant cells will stay firm thanks to their air-filled vacuole. In a hypotonic solution, the cells will take on water and appear more plump. In an isotonic solution, they'll stay the same.

Variation
Differences between individuals in a population.

Adaptations
Any kind of inherited trait that improves an organism's chances of survival.

Natural selection
The environment selects organisms with optimal traits to be the parents of the next generation.

Speciation
