Salt reduces the amount of water in a solution, because you're introducing another molecule. If the water concentrations are different, the water is going to want to reach an equilibrium to balance itself out. Because the salt solution has a higher water concentration than the plant cell, the water will move into the cell to try and balance out the concentrations. If the salt solution had a lower water concentration (water potential) then water would move from the cell into the solution.

Sexual reproduction is important for the survival of the species. It is important for ALL BUT ONE of these reasons. That is
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

C) it is necessary for the survival of the individual.

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction is rarely, if ever, necessary for the individual. This is not a reason for its importance. However, while not important for the individual, sexual reproduction is important for the species. It allows genetic variability among offspring, as well as mutations. This ensures that not all members of a species are the same, and in this way, they have a better chance of surviving. Moreover, it allows for offspring to be produced at a faster rate.

What statement about the mechanism of hunger and satiety is true?
disa [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is: The ventromedial hypothalamus plays a role in satiety.​

Explanation:

The hypothalamus is a part of the brain that controls many important bodily functions and connects both the nervous system with the endocrine system. The hypothalamus consists of several nuclei that have diverse functions and are located in 3 different regions.

The nucleus that plays a role in satiety is the ventromedial nucleus, terminating hunger and giving a sensation of fullness. It also plays a significant role in thermoregulation, among other things.

Neuropeptide Y, on the other hand, is a peptide that is released to make us feel hungry and encourage us to intake food (primarily carbohydrates).

Cholecystokinin is a hormone released by the small intestines after we had a meal, and its function is to improve digestion and make us feel full.

Fat cells DO release leptin, but the function of this hormone is to produce satiety, by stimulating anorexigenic (meaning they take hunger away) hormones and inhibiting orexigenic ones, like Neuropeptide Y.
