The factor being tested is the variable. There are two types of variables, independent and dependent. The independent variable is the factor being changed by the scientist or the person controlling the experiment. The dependent variable is the thing that gets changed due to the changing of the independent variable. The dependent variable cannot be changed physically by the person doing the experiment.
Similarities:
They contain nematocyst (cells that sting)
some are sessil/free swimming
Some corals have a symbiotic relationship with algae, they need to grow in shallow waters so that light can penetrate for the algae to photosynthesize.
Answer:
b. intracellular fluid moves to the outside of cells
Explanation:
The presence of an excess of sodium ions in the extracellular fluid would make it hypertonic with respect to the intracellular fluid. The concentration gradient would drive the intracellular fluid towards the outside of the cell to balance the concentration of the fluids on either side. The passive movement of fluids occurs across the cells and is driven by the concentration gradient only. The biological membranes are permeable for fluid movement such as the movement of water across it.
