mixer [17]

Answer:

From this it can be deduced that the fresh water is hypotonic and the salt solution is hypertonic to the cells of the celery stalks.

Explanation:

When submerged in water, the celery stalks become stiff and hard, this shows that water moves within the stalk, thus, water is hypotonic in comparison to the celery stalk. Therefore, water moves from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration.  

When the same celery stalk is administered into the 0.15 M solution it turns soft, which shows that water from the celery stalk moves out. Thus, the salt solution is hypertonic in comparison to the celery stalk. Therefore, freshwater is hypertonic and the solution of salt is hypertonic to the celery stalk cells.

<span>Compound Microscope Compound microscope is commonly used in the schools and colleges. It comes under the category of microscopes used in biology. It has two lenses namely the objective lens and the ocular lens. It provides a magnification of 1500X. Eyepiece lens is of 10X or 15X power. It is used to observe bacterial, protozoa, various cells, etc.

</span><span>Dissecting Microscope It is also called stereo microscope. Its magnification power is less than the other microscope. It gives a 3 dimensional picture. Due to the low magnifying power they are used to observe little bigger objects than other microscopes. They are used in the surgeries, dissection, forensic science etc.</span>
