Answer and Explanation:
The cell was placed in a hypertonic solution. Glucose is a monosaccharide while starch is a polysaccharide. The concentration on the outside is higher compared to that on the inside. The cells have cell membrane that is semi-permeable.
Movement of molecules is dependent on the concentation gradient. However, the size of molecules determine the diffusion rate. Small and light molecules diffuse faster than large and heavy molecules thus glucose diffused faster than starch.
The cell membrane being permeable suggested that it allows molecules of small sizes to pass but not large ones.
<span>Bacteria keep their shape by having a rigid cell wall, but they can be shaped and appear differently. There are three main shapes of bacteria: 1.) The Coccus bacteria is in a sphere shape. 2.) Spirillum bacteria is in a spiral shape. 3.) The Bacillus bacteria comes in a rod shape. Each of these bacteria can come in pairs, clusters or chains.</span>
Examples of stimuli are the weather, sound, the cold, light, taste, color, and gravity.
- When you hear a loud noise you get scared and scream
- When it is hot outside you sweat
Its important because they produce offspring. Without any offspring the species would slowly die off and become extinct.
