A hypertonic solution has:
Fewer water molecules outside the cell than are inside the cell. Thus, option "A" is correct.
<h3>What is hypertonic solution?</h3>
- The cell is in a hypertonic solution because it lost water through osmosis and shrunk.
- A hypertonic solution contains more solute molecules compared to solvent molecules while the hypotonic solution has more solvent molecules than solute molecules.
- When a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution it loses water through osmosis and shrinks.
- An animal cell placed in a hypotonic solution absorbs water through osmosis, increases in size and then bursts. Plant cell, on the other hand, does not burst when placed in a hypotonic solution as it contains a cellulose cell wall.
Thus, option "A" is correct.

Because water helps plants grow
<span>The deposition of heavy sediment can significantly diminish the water quality and aquatic habitat. The sentiment in the water can reduce the sunlight that reaches the floor of the waterway, affecting animal and plant life. For example, photosynthesis may be less effective due to the decreased sunlight and the gills of fish may get clogged from the sediment.</span>
It’s called a branch point, represents where a single lineage evolved into a distinct new one.
