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.

A. endoskeleton

Endoskeleton is not a characteristic of Arthropods that has attributed to their diversity and success. Endoskeleton is defined as inner characteristics of the skeletal feature of an organisms such as bears, humans, fish and etc.

Exoskeleton on the other hand is the trait by which arthropods posses. It is skeletal feature that is described outside or is extrinsic, this is evident as crabs have their skeletons outside of their body.

Some homeostatic imbalances cause a variable that is normally controlled by negative feedback to be abnormally controlled by pos
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Some deviations from normal homeostasis activate the positive feedback loops to control the conditions which are otherwise regulated by negative feedback mechanisms.

For example, the blood levels of respiratory gases and H+ ions are regulated by a negative feedback system via chemoreceptors. The increased partial pressure of carbon dioxide gas and lowered pH or lowered partial pressure of oxygen in the blood are sense by central and peripheral chemoreceptors which in turn activate the neurons of the dorsal respiratory group (DRG).

The activated DRG triggers an increased in the rate and depth of the breathing to facilitate the inhalation of more oxygen and exhalation of CO2 to restore the normal levels.  

However, hypocapnia inactivates the chemoreceptors and does not allow negative feedback to restore the normal CO2 levels in the blood.  

Under such conditions, the positive feedback loop stimulates the DRG neurons more strongly in response to the increased partial pressure of CO2 above the normal levels than when the partial pressure of oxygen falls below the normal level. These dangerously lowered oxygen levels may also cause fainting.

How do cigarettes and radiation cause cancer? View Available Hint(s) How do cigarettes and radiation cause cancer? by destroying
blagie [28]

Answer: B.  by toxic chemicals (in smoke) or radiation that can damage the DNA in cells.

Explanation:

The carcinogens presents in cigerates covalently bind to DNA and form DNA adducts which results into miscoding (e.g., insertion of the wrong base) during replication of DNA and this genetic mutation causes uncontrolled cellular growth which causes cancer.

Ionising radiation including X-rays, radioactive particles, and gamma rays,can cause cancer by damaging DNA. high-energy radiation damages DNA and cause genetic mutation same as cigerates and causes cancer.

Both toxic chemicals (in smoke) or radiation damages DNA inthe cells which leads to cancer.

Hence, the correct option is B.
