Since crab are aquatic animals and thus when they are placed in freshwater, they do not get sufficient salt concentration to make themselves survive. The cells of the crab body (which was hyper tonic in salt water) will now become hypo tonic. Thus the osmo-regulation process will lower down thereby reducing the osmotic pressure as compared to the fluid outside. Also the distilled water lacks basic nutrients required for the crab and its family to survive.

The crabs are salt water organisms, so they'll have a higher concentration gradient than the distilled water. In other words, they're hypertonic to the distilled water. This will cause them to take on water and expand; their cells bursting.

If the net force an object at rest is zero the object will remain at rest. <br> True or false
FromTheMoon [43]

True

Explanation:

If the net force on an object at rest is zero, the object will remain at rest. This is one of the postulates of newton's law of motion.

 Newton's first law of motion states that "an object will continue in its state of rest or uniform motion unless if it is acted upon by an external force. "

  • If no net force acts on a body, it will forever remain at rest.
  • The force on a body causes its motion and acceleration.
  • A body will continue in uniform motion if no external force acts on it.

Why do cats purr?///////////////
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Cats also purr when they are nervous or in pain, leading some experts to believe that this uniquely feline vocalization is actually a method of self-healing. A domestic cat's purr has a frequency of between 25 and 150 Hertz, which happens to be the frequency at which muscles and bones best grow and repair themselves.
