What would be the result if you had a hypotonic solution with a cell in it?
nadya68 [22]

I wanted to be with you alone

And talk about the weather

But traditions I can trace against the child in your face

Won't escape my attention

You keep your distance via the system of touch

And gentle persuasion

I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much?

Oh, you're wasting my time

You're just, just, just wasting time

Something happens and I'm head over heels

I never find out until I'm head over heels

Something happens and I'm head over heels

Ah, don't take my heart, don't break my heart

Don't, don't, don't throw it away

Which advantage of reproduction does the graph show? Explain!
Brilliant_brown [7]

The explanation regarding the advantage of reproduction that represents the graph should be described below.

Advantages of reproduction:

Here the graph represents the bacteria population that should be raised as the time passes. At the time of 1st hour, the bacteria population should be 50 per ml.

In the second hour, the population should be doubled. In the third hour it should be 200 per ml and in 3 and half hours, the population should be 300 per ml. So here we can see that the population should be doubled with every hour.
