<h2>Answer:</h2>

The living cell concentration is hypertonic than outer solution hence the concentration of solutes will be higher than the solvent.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • In the question description it is mentioned that cell is present in the hypotonic solution than cell environment will be hypertonic.
  • In the cell the solute will present in the concentrated form.
  • Hence the water will move from the outer environment into sell through the osmosis.
  • Osmosis is the movement of water from higher concentration to low concentration through semi permeable membrane.
  • Hence the cell will swell due to water collection in cell.

Plants use nitrogen in fertilizers for growth. However, much of the nitrogen goes unused. What is one direct outcome of this exc
Olin [163]
There are many environmental negative direct outcomes of unused excess nitrogen from nitrogenous fertilizers. One of these is eutrophication. Eutrophication is the excessive richness of nutrients in a water body as a result of fertilizer run offs from the land, which causes a dense growth of plants in the water. Other negative outcomes are: green house effects, acid rain and contamination of underground water which has negative effects on human health.
