Turgor pressure assists in helping a plant stay upright. When the concentration of sugars and ions in the cell’s vacuoles is hig
h, water rushes into the cell, increasing the pressure on the cell wall. What would be the most likely result of a low concentration of sugars and ions in the cell’s vacuole? a.)the plant would die.
b.)The plant would stop photosynthesis.
c.)The plant would stay rigid.
d.)The plant would wilt.
A physical phenomenon known as osmosis
causes water to flow from an area of low solute, high water
concentration to an area of high solute, low water concentration, until
the two areas have an equal ratio of solute to water. Normally, the
solute diffuses toward equilibrium as well; however, all cells are surrounded by a lipid bilayer
cell membrane which permits the flow of water in and out of the cell
but restricts the flow of solute under many circumstances. As a result,
when a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water rushes into the membrane, increasing the cell's volume. There you go! Have fun
Diabetes technology has come a long way. From blood glucose meters and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to cutting-edge insulin pumps and more, devices are easier to use and less invasive. There are lots of options so that you can find what works best for you.
