Answer: EDGE 2020

For a cell to survive, ion concentrations inside and outside the cell need to be the same. If extra ions are not pumped out of the cell, water can enter the cell, causing it to swell and burst.

The most important function of osmosis is stabilising the internal environment of an organism by keeping the water and intercellular fluids levels balanced. In all living organisms, nutrients and minerals make their way to the cells because of osmosis. This obviously is essential to the survival of a cell.

Airida [17]

Hello! :)

It would take forever listing all the animals that have adaptations that helps them survive in their environment.

Natural selection is the process by which individuals with characteristics that are advantageous for reproduction in a specific environment leave more offspring in the next generation, thereby increasing the proportion of their genes in the population gene pool over time.

Hope this helped and I hope I answered in time!

Good luck!

The length of bamboo grows much faster than that of thickness why?​
iren [92.7K]

Using a slow- and fast-growing variant of bamboo, Wei and colleagues looked at cell division, growth, and gene expression (through transcriptomics, which measures all the genes being expressed by an individual) to discover which genes may be responsible for fast growth in bamboo. They found that the slow-growing variant had reduced expression of genes relating to cell wall construction, the plant hormone auxin (important for cell growth and cell division), and had irregular cell growth and cell walls. Wei and colleagues suggest that a reduced ability to produce and perceive auxin, combined with a weakened cell wall, are responsible for the slow growth seen in the bamboo variant.
