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.

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Plasma plays an essential role of transporting nutrients and waste.

Explanation:

The largest constituent of the blood that comprises 55 percent of its entire constituents is the plasma. It is a light yellow liquid, which along with water transports enzymes and salts to different parts of the body. Plasma primarily plays an essential role in transporting hormones, nutrients, and proteins to different body parts.  

Apart from this, plasma also carries waste materials withdrawn from the cells and discharges it out of the body.

How might the human population's growth rate change in the future?
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The UN projects that the global population increases from a population of 7.7 billion in 2019 to 10.9 billion by the end of the century. By that time, the UN projects, fast global population growth will come to an end.

Beneath the global level, there are of course, big differences between different world regions and countries. While in some regions the world population will likely grow rapidly for the coming decades other regions will continue to see declining population numbers.

Global population growth is determined by the number of births and deaths. Improving health is increasing the size of the population as it is decreasing mortality. The countervailing trend are falling fertility rates – the trend of couples having fewer children is what brought rapid population growth to an end in many countries already, and what will bring an end to rapid population growth globally.

The global population growth rate has already slowed down considerably: It reached its peak at over 2% in the late 1960s and has been falling since.

The UN projections for the global population growth rates, which have been produced since the 1950s, have a good track record in projecting the size of the global population.

While the UN projections are most widely know there are other very carefully produced projections. The demographers of WC-IIASA model what will happen according to different scenarios and make clear that the population growth rate tomorrow depends on what we do today. Rapid progress in getting children and especially girls into schools will result in a much smaller global population.

The biggest disagreement between different projections is concerning the future of Africa. While the UN projects a 3.5-fold increase of the population of Africa, other researchers find a much smaller increase more likely.
