A Refrigeration system helps keep foods fresh for a longer time and it also helps to keep the food from collecting bad bacteria.
Options:
- a lake
- a prairie
- the land an organic farmer uses to raise crops to feed his dairy cattle
- a large island in the tropics that has snowcapped mountains
Answer:
a large island in the tropics that has snowcapped mountains
Explanation:
The land a farmer uses is likely to be quite highly regulated in order to ensure that his dairy cattle thrive. That means the growth of certain plants will be controlled, and this will likely impact diversity.
A lake and a prairie could have diverse and balanced ecosystems. However, due to the limited habitat are likely only to harbour specific organisms. E.g. the lake will only harbor organisms that thrive in water environments.
A large island will, first of all, have a lot of space to support diversity. It is in the tropics, meaning it will have species suited to a hot and wet environment. Since it is an island, there will also be the involvement of sea/ocean dwelling creatures. However, there is also mountainous habitat that has snow, meaning it is high up and cold. This provides a habitat for even more species adapted to different environments.
Therefore, the island will be the most diverse.
No. Osmosis is the movement of a solvent through a membrane (semi-permeable) from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution to the point where the two sides reach equilibrium. Isotonic solutions are solutions where the two sides of the membrane are already at equilibrium - so there is no movement of the solvent (like water) - so this is different from osmosis.
0.5. This is because if the cells have not swollen or shrunk then the water potential (and therefore amount of solute) inside and surrounding the cell must be equal.
