The aqueous bromothymol blue solution act as a pH indicator and turns blue only in case when the pH of the sample is above or equal to 7.6
Since the pH of the water at the surface of the lakes is higher and ranges between 7.5 to 8.5 the color of bromothymol turn blue.
Answer:
D. Geologic process that we observed today occurred the same way in the past.

If a red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the cell would shrink.
Hypertonic solution means that the solution has a lower water potential than the other side (which is the cell's cytoplasm in this case), and by that, water molecules would have a tendency to flow from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential. This movement of water molecules is called osmosis. But note that a semi-permeable membrane (a membrane which can decide what substances can go in and out, the cell membrane is an example) has to be present in osmosis, or else the movement may be regarded as diffusion.
As the water molecules flowed away from the red blood cell cytoplasm, the cell loss so much water that the membrane has nothing much to hold and thus the cell shrinks.
You can use the volume displacement method. If you had the alligator in a tank and you knew how much the volume of water in the tank was before the alligator was in there you could subtract that from the volume of the water with the alligator in the tank.
