<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>When a plant cell is placed in a hypo-tonic solution It becomes turgid and hard.</u>


<h2>Explanation:</h2>

A hypotonic solution refers to a solution that has less solute and more water than another solution. When the plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, it takes up water by osmosis and starts to swell, but the cell wall prevents it from bursting. The plant cell is said to have become "turgid" i.e. swollen and hard. The pressure inside the cell rises until this internal pressure is equal to the pressure outside.

Besides producing sugar for itself, a plant also needs to absorb nitrogen to build proteins, salts to make concentration gradien
tino4ka555 [31]

Besides producing sugar for itself a plant also needs to absorb nitrogen to build proteins, salts to make concentration gradients and potassium to make enzymes.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Plant sugar is glucose and plants produce it by the process of photosynthesis making use of energy from sunlight, carbon dioxide absorbed from the atmosphere and the presence of chlorophyll in its parts. Plants also require components other than this. Nitrogen is essential to make proteins and it cannot be directly absorbed from the atmosphere but has to be absorbed from the soil.

Potassium is an essential component which is absorbed from the soil. It facilitates the activation of enzymes which play a crucial role in plant metabolism.  When plants lack potassium they won’t have enough energy for proper growth and will have poorly formed roots and weak stems.

What is happening in the food vacuoles that causes the yeast to turn blue?
Rom4ik [11]
Answer;
Food vacuoles that causes the yeast to turn blue indicates active digestive processes in the cell.The blue represents the mature food vacuoles as some yeast cells have now entered, and beginning the digestive process. 

Explanation; 
The ingested yeast cells appear red during early stages of being eaten. Later some of the yeast cells will enter into the food vacuoles to which acidosomes have fused, lowering the pH. The yeast cells within the food vacuole will turn blue, indicating active digestive processes in the cell. It is used for yeast uptake in the paramecium food vacuoles.
