Estuary is a partly enclosed coastal body of water by which river water is mixed with seawater. In a broad sense, the estuarine setting<span> is defined by salinity boundaries instead of geographic boundaries. The word estuary is derived from the Latin words aestus (“the tide”) and aestuo (“boil”), signifying the effect produced when tidal flow and river flow meet.</span>

In an investigation, plant cells are placed in water that has been tinted blue. The investigators observe the color of the cells
larisa [96]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

When plant cells take in water, the vacuole swells. A swollen vacuole indicates the plant cell has all the water it needs. This suggests that the plant is taking in water and is maintaining optimum conditions. This is an example of homeostasis.

If the cells burst apart, as in A and E, this would suggest the cell is not properly maintaining homeostasis, as the cell bursting suggests something has gone badly wrong. This suggests the cell has taken in too much water; the cell has not been able to maintain homeostasis and regulate water uptake to prevent this from happening.

In the reverse case, where the cells shrink apart (as in B), the cell would also not be properly maintaining homeostasis by failing to bring enough water into the cell to maintain a turgid state. This is also damaging for the cells.

Finally, D and E can also not be correct, because water can cross the cell membrane, and does not need to be pumped in or sent out by endocytosis.

julia-pushkina [17]

Surface area is an important factor in limiting cell growth because

a. the cell can burst if the membrane becomes too large.

b. materials cannot enter the cell if the surface is too large.

c. the cell may become too large to take in enough food and to remove enough wastes.

d. waste products cannot leave the cell if the cell is too small.

Answer:

c. the cell may become too large to take in enough food and to remove enough wastes.

Explanation:

The exchange of substances with surroundings is done by cells by the process of diffusion. The rate of diffusion of substances requires the presence of a higher surface area than volume. As the cells become larger, their surface area is reduced with respect to the volume. Therefore, larger cells can not support the diffusion of substances in and out as required for its proper functioning. If cells are allowed to grow continuously, they will not be able to intake the requires materials such as food and to release the waste outside.

A positively charged molecule. This molecule consists of three hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom. What name is given to th
Romashka [77]

Answer:

The correct answer is d. hydronium ion.

Explanation:

Hydronium ion is a positively charged molecule that has three hydrogen atom bonded with an oxygen atom. Hydronium ion is formed when the water molecule gains an extra H+ ion from somewhere.  

This H+ ion easily form bonds with one of the lone pairs present on the water molecules. H2O is also a polar molecule and has a partially positive charge due to which the extra H+ ions get attracted to the negative pole of water and make hydronium ion. Therefore the correct answer is d.
