Answer:

Water and nutrient uptake.

Explanation:

The root system of a plant functions as conducting tissue for water and mineral nutrients that are essential for metabolic activities of the plant.

<em>Extensive surface area of roots is an adaptation associated with efficient water and mineral nutrient uptake because this will increase the surface area of roots in contact with the soil.</em>

You get home from school and grab a bag of potato chips before settling onto the couch to binge watch your newest Netflix series
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Osmosis is the process in which the molecules of a solvent move from a region of low concentration to a region of higher concentration through a semi-permeable barrier.

While eating the chips, <u>the salt content from the chips makes the surrounding solution of the cells to have an increase in salt concentration causing an hypertonic solution</u>. An hypertonic solution is a solution that has more solute (salt) than the (solute in a) cell. <u>This increase in salt concentration around the cells causes the cells to release water to neutralize the high salt concentration in the solution around the cell (in order to maintain homeostasis)</u> which causes dehydration in the individual and hence making the individual to be thirsty. <u>The body attempts to maintain balance by passing this excess salt out of the body in the form of urine hence the reason for the dark colour in the urine </u>(because if the body doesn't rid itself of the high salt concentration, the cells could shrink and die as a result).
