Answer:
It is pertinent to understand what hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solution means before setting out to explain how a cell reaches equilibrium in each type of solution.
A hypertonic solution is one whose solute concentration is higher than that of the sap of a cell that is immersed in it.
A hypotonic solution is one with the same solute concentration as that of the sap of the cell immersed in it.
An isotonic solution has a lower solute concentration than that of the sap of the cell immersed in it.
In biological systems, water molecules move by osmosis from the region of higher water potential or lower concentration of solutes to the region of lower water potential or higher concentration of solute. An equilibrium is reached when there is no net movement of water between two sides. Hence;
A cell placed in a hypertonic solution will lose water to the surrounding solution until an equilibrium is reached. This means that such a cell will end up shrinking (wilting) or even dying due to loss of water from the cell sap.
A cell placed in a hypotonic solution will gain water from the surrounding solution until there is no net movement of water anymore. Such a cell might become turgid or even burst out its cell content.
A cell placed in an isotonic solution will neither gain nor lose water because the cell sap and the surrounding solution have equal solute concentrations.
Explanation:
Any characteristic, whether a physical trait, a behaviour, a physiological adaptation etc can make an organism more or less likely to survive in a particular environment.
A dark colour could help a rabbit survive if it lives in a dark forest, because predators can't see it so well, but it would be less likely to survive in the arctic, where the environment is all white and it would show up.
In terms of the characteristics, think about: does it help the organism get food? Does it help protect the organism from predators? If it does, that organism is more likely to survive, and pass the characteristic on to it's offspring. If a bacterium has a characteristic of not being killed by antibiotics, this will help it to survive and breed.
The regression equation is:
y = 1.15 – 0.251 x₁ + 0.078 x₂ + 0.306 x₁x₂

<span>
Where,
x₁ = -0.2508
x₂ = 0.0777
x₁x₂ = 0.3058
Inserting the values,
<span>
<span>
</span></span>y = 1.15 – {0.251 × (-0.2508)} + {0.078 ×(0.0777)} + {0.306 × (0.3058)}
</span></span></span>
y = 1.15 - (- 0.0629508) + 0.0060606 + 0.935748
y = 1.15 + 0.0629508 + 0.0060606 + 0.935748
y = 1.3125862
Answer:
x₁ and x₂ are main effects (a type of tuna and type of packing liquid) that contribute significant information for the prediction of <span>y.</span>
Answer:
A) Power plant
Explanation:
The key to understanding this question, is first knowing what "stationary" means. When something is stationary, it doesn't move, it just stays in one place.
Since power plants are buildings, they naturally don't move. On the other hand, the other choices are all vehicles that are intended to move. So while all of these options do cause air pollution, the power plant is the only one that is stationary.
I hope this answer helps you :)
Changes in the gene pool are closely related to genetic mutations, which are a major part of evolution.
