Answer:

Option (D).

Explanation:

Osmosis may be defined as the movement of the particles from its region of the higher concentration towards its region of the lower concentration. Osmosis is an important for the movement of water molecules.

The peeled piece will gain in water in the purified water because the water will move from its higher concentration to the peeled pieces towards the lower concentration. The apple pieces lose water in salt water because the salt water contains lots of ions and water will move out of the cell.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

What is a biological tropism?

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Living organisms adapt to their moves and positions in response to the environmental changes for their protection or to their advantage. When an entity reacts to the changes in its surroundings, it is referred to as stimulus while the reaction to the stimulus is referred to as a response. Common stimuli are sound, light, air, heat, smell, taste, water and gravity.

Think of burning your finger of fracturing your bone without any pain sensation. It may certainly sound like a superpower or an ideal situation, however, when it comes to the standpoint of survival, it can be disastrous.

It is a characteristic behaviour of living entities to respond to stimuli with the intervention of the Nervous System. It is an organ system ascribed to send signals from the spinal cord and the brain throughout the body and then back from all the body parts to the brain. Neuron acts as the mediator and is the basic signalling unit of the Nervous system.

Pain is the body’s way of letting us know that something is not right. It can prevent further injuries or push us to seek medical attention. Moreover, all of this is possible because humans can respond and react to stimuli due to control and coordination among the various organs and organ systems.

Control and Coordination in simple multicellular organisms take place through only the Nervous system which coordinates activities of our body. It is the control system for all our actions, thinking, and behaviour.

Provided that there's no diagram, most molecules have particular areas on the molecules, called the "active area" that act as a lock to a particular substrate's molecular structure, providing the key. 
An enzyme's active area is only able to be "unlocked" by a certain substrate's "key".
