Answer:

plasmolysis in plant cells and haemolysis in animal cells

Explanation:

When the outside environment of a cell is hypertonic, water molecules tend to move from the cell. This is a movement from a highly concentrated area to a lowly concentrated area. The cells will shrink and shrivel. The movement of water moleculea from a high concentrated region to a low concentrated region is called osmosis.

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

The correct answer is "a hypertonic solution".

Explanation:

Seawater is the most clear example of a hypertonic solution in nature. The concentration of ions in seawater are far more superior than the concentration of ions inside a plant or an animal cell, since seawater have an osmolarity of about 1000 mOsm/l. Therefore, at high tide a plant or animal cell will be in a hypertonic solution, and the cells must have adaptions to avoid cell shrinking and dead.

Why are the ventricles of the heart so much larger than the atria of the heart?
konstantin123 [22]
<span>The ventricles are the part of the heart that are responsible for the pumping action to move blood throughout the body. Therefore, the muscles in the ventricles are much larger and thicker to do their job properly. The atrium only has to pump blood through an open valve (the tricuspid valve) into the right ventricle. There is much less resistance to this flow of blood so much less muscle is needed. </span>
