Biology

Answer;

D) Freshwater is a hypotonic solution, which causes the plant cells to swell because of turgor pressure.

Explanation;

Osmosis is the process by which water molecules move from the region where they are highly concentrated to a region where they are lowly concentrated through a semipermeable membrane. One application of osmosis is support in plants.

Hypotonic solution is a type of solution that has more solvent molecules in this case water and less solute molecules.

Fresh water is hypotonic to plant cells thus the plant cells absorbs water osmotically, increases in size and becomes turgid, which generates an outside opposite pressure that is equal to the wall pressure which keeps the plants upright.

Which phrase listed below best describes the function of the digestive system?
erica [24]


C is the correct answer. The main function of the digestive system is to break down food into nutrients.

Food is needed to fuel the body for energy, and also for growth and repair. The digestive system converts the food we eat into their simplest forms , like glucose, amino acids and fatty acids. The broken down food is then absorbed into the bloodstream from the small intestine and the nutrients are carried to each cell of the body.

The large intestine  serves as a storage organ for the excretory products. However though this is true, the main function of the digestive system is to break down food into nutrients. The excretory duty is more of a necessity rather than a primary function.<span /><span /><span /><span />

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer: A

Explanation:

Gravity is when you drop something, but in this case you aren’t dropping the ball. It definitely isn’t chemistry because you aren’t changing molecules or anything so that only leaves A which is the most reasonable answer anyways.
