A solution high in salt content will have what affect on a plant cells vacuole?

Due to osmosis water molecules move from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower potential, so water molecules will move from the vacuole to the salt solution. This causes the cell to become soft and flaccid, turgor pressure will also be lost

Answer:

In this case, the solute concentration of the external medium is higher than that of the vacuole, which means the solute potential of the external solution is lower (more negative). Then the vacuum will lose water to reach the water balance, the volume of the protoplast will be reduced and will tend to adopt the smallest surface area per unit volume, that is, the spherical shape, and separate completely from the cell wall (cell is plasmolyzed)

Is the Gram stain a useful tool for understanding the phylogeny of eubacteria? Explain why or why not.

natita [175]

Answer

Yes, Gran stain is a useful tool for unterstanding the phylogeny of eurobacteria.

Explanation

The Gram staining method is used to classify two broad groups: gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. This technique is widely used in clinical analysis and microbiology laboratories to monitor infections in pus smears or organic fluids.

In the Gran staining method, we subject the bacteria to dye treatments and, depending on the chemical composition of the cell wall of these bacteria, each one will react differently with the dyes and thus identify them by their biochemical characteristics.

Which two factors that influence weather are caused by the uneven heating of Earth’s surface by sunlight?

Troyanec [42]

Answer: Option A.

Explanation:

Uneven heating of the Earth surface is talking about convection. This lead to some part of the atmosphere to be warmer than the other part and there is alterations in volume and pressure which can influence weather, updrafts and cause thunderstorm.

The formation of convection currents in the atmosphere influence weather and are caused by the uneven heating of Earth’s surface by sunlight.
