How do cells maintain water balance through osmosis? If a salt water fish is placed in a fresh water aquarium, water will leave

the fish's cells. In the experiment, the only isotonic solution was the 10% salt water solution. The egg swelled in distilled water because it is hypotonic to the egg's interior. The concentration of solute is greater inside the egg than it is in the Kayro syrup. The egg swells when placed in a hypertonic solution.

The answer is;  The egg swelled in distilled water because it is hypotonic to the egg's interior


Osmosis is the movement of water from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution through a semi-permeable membrane. The cell utilizes this phenomenon to indirectly regulate water in its cytoplasm by regulating the amount of osmotically active solutes in its cytoplasm through active transport.

Which statement best explains why the beaks of finches in the Galápagos Islands are different based on what they eat
BabaBlast [244]
Hey there! Darwin's finches had different beak sizes and shapes because of natural selection. Over time, the more desirable traits become more dominant and distinct. These beaks were best fit for the type of food the bird ate. Smaller-beaked birds usually have a seed diet, and larger-beaked birds usually eat large nuts or small creatures like worms and bugs. Hope this helps!
