If<span> you </span>water<span> a </span>plant<span> with </span>salt water<span>, it will wilt, and will eventually die. This is due to the fact that the </span>salt water<span> is a hypertonic solution when compared to the </span>plant<span> cells, and </span>water<span> inside the </span>plant<span> cells will diffuse by osmosis out of the cells in order to reduce the concentration of the </span>salt<span> solution.</span>

How are land, air, water and living things impacted by too much carbon dioxide?
choli [55]

Answer:

- In terrestrial environments: increasing CO2 levels cause an increased photosynthetic rate

- In aquatic environments: increasing CO2 levels cause an increase in water acidity  

- In both terrestrial and aquatic environments: increasing CO2 levels lead to an overall increase in the average temperature (global warming)

Explanation:

In terrestrial ecosystems, rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels increase the rate of photosynthesis (since CO2 is one of the reactants in photosynthesis), thereby also increasing plant growth. Moreover, in aquatic ecosystems, rising CO2 concentrations increase the levels of this gas dissolved on the surface of the oceans. This increases the acidity of the oceans, thereby modifying habitats and food web structures. The increasing acidity of the oceans also reduces the amounts of carbonate, which difficult for aquatic species (e.g., corals) to form their shells/skeletons. Finally, CO2 is a greenhouse gas that contributes to the increase in the average temperature by absorbing solar radiation that would otherwise have been reflected by the Earth's surface, and this increase in the temperature negatively affects life in both terrestrial and aquatic environments.

mamaluj [8]
The outer periphery of the inter-vertebral disk is composed of strong fibrous tissue called the Annulus fibrosus. This is a tough circular exterior of the inter-vertebral disc that surrounds the soft inner core, the nucleus pulposus. The outer portion is composed of a ring of ligament fibers that encases the inner core of the disc and securely connects the spinal vertebrae above and below the disc.

Describe the characteristics of a non-vascular plant:
Sidana [21]

<span>Unlike vascular plants, non-vascular plants do not have tissue specialised fro transport of fluids, so</span> they cannot control the rate of water loss. However, they have simple tissues that can perform this function. They also lack in true leaves, seeds, flowers, and roots. They usually live in moist environment so they can absorb water more efficiently.
