If a plant cell is placed in solution and the cell shrivels up what type of solution was it placed in

1 answer:

8 0

The plant cell was placed in a hypertonic solution. Due to its higher concentration of solutes and a net movement of water outside a hypertonic solution causes the cell to shrink. In other words, when a plant cell is placed in hypertonic solution the water from the cell will be forced out of the cell in an attempt to balance itself. This is known as plasmolysis.

A rock sample has a mass of 16 grams and a volume of 8 cubic centimeters. When the rock is cut in half, what is the volume and d

spayn [35]

Answer:

Volume= 4 cm³

Density= 2 g/cm³

Explanation:

We have the following data:

volume= V= 8 cm³

mass= m= 16 g

The density is the mass per volume of a substance, so the density of the rock is:

density= d= 16 g/8 cm³= 2 g/cm³

When we cut the rock in half, we have a half volume and a half mass:

V= 8 cm³/2= 4 cm³

m= 16 g/2= 8 g

But the density is not altered because it is an intrisic property - it does not change with the amount of subtance. Thus, the density of a half rock is:

d = m/V= 8 g/4 cm³= 2 g/cm³

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

The method is a forecasting method based on the idea that the weather

on any date will be close to the average of the weather that occurred on that date throughout the years is the Climatology method.

The Climatology method has been used by climatologists to forecast the weather conditions of a region. Scientists and meteorologists have a series of data and statistics collected through the years and they proceed to measure the average temperature. This simple method is based on the patterns of weather from the past to project similar scenarios in the future.
