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.

Tomtit [17]
Emily's symptoms include frequent headaches, light sensitivity, nausea and vomiting. The risk factors are her smoking habit and the birth control pills that she is currently taking. A possible diagnosis could be an acute condition which is caused by a serious interaction between her smoking activity and her birth control pills. It has been proven that women who smoke while on contraceptive therapy have an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. This is because nicotine increases heart rate and blood pressure, while certain hormones present in some birth control pills (such as estrogen) increase the tension on blood vessels. For further diagnosis, the healthcare professional should check Emily's blood pressure and ask her family history on blood clots, heart problems, or stroke cases.
