Answer:

Plant cell seems less affected by the changes in solute concentration due to presence of cell wall.

Explanation:

The principle difference between plant cell and animal cell is that plant cell contain cell wall but animal cell does not.

The presence of cell wall prevent the osmotic lysis of the cell when the cell is kept in a hypotonic solution.

In case of plants the solute concentration of cytosol is greater than that of extracellular matrix.The entry of water inside the plant cell increases the turgor pressure that pushes both cytosol and plasma membrane against the rigid cell wall.

egg albumen
protease
dilute hydrochloric acid

Explanation:

A protease is a kind of peptidase enzyme that breaks down proteins into peptide molecules. As a digestive enzyme it is located in the lining of the stomach where, relative to the hydrochloric acid in digestive juices, the pH is usually low/ acidic.

Enzymes speed up reaction rates by providing alternative pathways. By modifying the enzyme composition, supplying more collision energy, and changing the collisions between and the ratio of reactants, certain variables will increase the reaction rate.

Proteases function well at 37℃, the typical internal temperature of the human body- this temperature provides adequate energy for the reaction. Similarly, proteases require low pH for the correct configuration, and beyond this pH and temperature, they may become denatured or simply not function well as catalysts.

Was the bag that gained the most weight hypertonic hypotonic or isotonic

pychu [463]

Definitely hypotonic. isotonic wouldn't change weight and hypertonic would lose weight.

Which population would increase most if the insects were eliminated?

IgorC [24]

Answer:

A producer. For example in a common food chain, grass->grasshopper->mouse->snake->eagle. The grasshopper eats grass which is a producer so if there aren't anymore insects like grasshoppers, then the grass grows more.
