Answer:

b. The turgor pressure will increase but the cell wall prevents the cell from exploding.

Explanation:

When the extracellular fluid has a lower osmolarity than the cell, as it happens in hypotonic solutions, the flow of water will go into the cell. Since plant cells have rigid cell walls, it won't burst because the plasma membrane will expand only to the limit of the wall, water will enter until its internal pressure (turgor) prevents further influx.

I hope you find this information useful! Good luck!

Answer:

b the turgor pressure will increase but the cell wall prevents the cell from exploding

Explanation:

The plant cells are exposed in a change of pressure liquid depending the quantity of solids that are inside and outside the cell. Like in this case, the hypotonic solution is the one that has less solids outside the cell, that is the reason why the water enters the cell to equilibrate the concentration of solids inside and outside the cell.

When you eat a meal, food is digested and monomers like glucose are transported throughout your body. food is transformed and us
Alchen [17]
<span>Food molecules like lipids, proteins and polysaccharides are broken down enzymatically via digestion process, which occurs in our intestine cells (digestive system). Those large polymeric molecules are broken down into their monomer subunits—proteins into amino acids, polysaccharides into sugars, and fats into fatty acids and glycerol. Formed small organic molecules are now ready for the oxidation (a process that produces ATP and consumes O2) which occurs partly in the cytosol and in the mitochondrion. Oxidation processes include glycolysis and citric acid cycle which are differently required in different tissues. Nervous system (nerve cells) rely almost entirely on a constant supply of <span>glucose<span> from the bloodstream. In contrast, liver cells supply glucose to actively contracting muscle system which needs a lot of ATP energy.</span></span></span>
