The answer is B, because salt water has lots salt, and little water. The cells lose their water content and fill up with salt, causing ti to collapse.

Answer: The correct answer is B) The cells of the vegetable lose their water.

Osmosis is defined as the movement of solvent (like water) from a region where the concentration of solute(like salt) is lower to a region where the concentration of solute is higher through a semipermeable membrane.

Salt water is a hypertonic solution as the concentration of salt ( solute) is higher. Therefore, in this case water from vegetable will move outside causing the cells to become fragile.

Thus, option B) is the right answer.

Fill in the blanks to complete the passage. Geologists can use ________ waves to learn about Earth’s interior. P waves travel fa
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Seismic waves,    Outer,    Mantle

Explanation:

P-waves vibrate longitudinally to the direction of propagation while S-waves vibrate vertically to direction of propagation. This is why S-waves are called shear waves while P-waves are compressional waves. S-waves are the main cause of destruction in an earthquake and are slower than P-waves.

The wave movement of P-waves allows them to pass through liquids and gases while S-waves cannot. Due to this differential phenomenon of these waves, the reflection of P –waves and S-waves after an earthquake – and as their vibrations are picked up by seismographs around the earth - enabled scientists to determine the properties of the  layers of the earth’’s interior.
