Answer:

a) A cell will shrink when the concentration of electrolytes is greater inside the cell than outside the cell. FALSE

Explanation:

The regulation of cell fluid is caused by molecules called as Electrolytes. The higher concentration of these electrolytes outside the cells or lower concentration inside the cells will suck water outside the cells. Water is pumped to the area where the concentration of electrolytes is high. It is also clears from the Option d) that water follows the movement of electrolytes so it means that water will move to out if the concentration of electrolytes outside the cells is high which will cause shrinkage of cell organelles.

nalin [4]
<span>Extreme temperature and bedrocks Tundra and desert both have shallow soil profiles because of the extreme temperatures and the bedrocks it has. In the case of tundra, it has extreme cold temperature and the soil were covered in ice in long periods of time. Because of this, the plants were unable to get water from the bedrocks resulting in plants dying. In the desert, however, it has extreme hot temperature making the plants unable to survuve due to lack of water in the environment and in the bedrocks. The plants that can only survive in this temperature are the plants that has the ability to store water in their system.</span>
