A plant cell is placed in distilled water, as shown in the figure. There is a net uptake of water by osmosis, causing the cell t

o become turgid. Select the correct statement about this setup, after the cell is fully turgid:_________A) The pressure potentials (ΨP) of the cell and its surroundings are the same.B) The water potentials (Ψ) of the cell and its surroundings are the same.C) Because the cell contains more solutes than the distilled water that surrounds it, the solute potential (ΨS) of the cell is higher than the solute potential of distilled water.

Answer:

The water potentials (Ψ) of the cell and its surroundings are the same.

Explanation:

When a cell is kept in hypotonic surroundings such as distilled water, the osmotic movement of water occurs towards the cell. The entry of water makes the cell swell up and it becomes turgid. Water potential is determined by solute and pressure potentials mainly. Here, the solute potential of the cell and the distilled water was different resulting in differences in their respective water potential values which in turn served as a driving force for endosmosis.

When the cell is fully turgid, the solute concentration of the cell and the surrounding distilled water become equal to each other. Under these conditions, the water potential of the cell and distilled water are the same.

Which of these are the two major sources of nitrate pollution in rivers?
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is <em>c. animal wastes and fertilizers. </em>

Explanation:

Two major sources of nitrate pollution are farming and breeding activities. There are also certain industrial activities involved in nitrate pollution, but in general, these industries are related to agriculture.

The indiscriminate use of fertilizers for several years in intensive productions produce high nitrate concentration in soil and consequently elevate the risk of nitrate lixiviation.

Breeding animals produce nitrate pollution by their wastes, which accumulate and are not treated. These wastes include flesh, hair, feathers, skin, fat, liquids, excrements, among others. These wastes are an important source of nitrate.

In many cases, animal wastes are used by farmers as organic matter to improve their production. But excessive and incorrect use of it might produce severe damage in water sources.
