The correct answer is A. maintaining homeostasis.
Homeostasis is a term referring to an organisms continuous process of maintaining and auto-regulating the conditions of its internal environment. Variables such as pH, temperature, and fluid balance need to be at optimal conditions in order for the organism to function properly.
In this example, the phosphate buffer system permits the organisms to maintain a constant pH in their intracellular fluid. This is one of the organism's homeostatic mechanisms.

Metamorphic rocks that don’t have layers
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer;

-Non-foliated metamorphic rocks

-Metamorphic rocks that don’t have layers are called non-foliated metamorphic rocks.

Explanation;

-Metamorphic rocks are rocks that go through heat and pressure and change form. They can be formed by pressures deep inside the Earth, by tectonic processes such as continental collisions, or when they are heated up by an intrusion of hot molten rock called magma from the Earth's interior.

-Foliated metamorphic rocks have a layered or banded appearance that is produced by exposure to heat and directed pressure, they include rocks such as gneiss, phyllite, schist, and slate.

-On the other hand,Non-foliated metamorphic rocks do not have a layered or banded appearance, they include rocks such as hornfels, marble, quartzite, and novaculite.

The solute potential of a plant cell is -10 bar, and its pressure potential is 3. The plant cell is placed into a solution with
Nesterboy [21]

The water potential of the cell would be -7 bar and thus, water will move from the cell to the surrounding solution.

Recall that:

Water potential = pressure potential + solute potential

For the plant cell, solute potential = -10, pressure potential = 3

Water potential of the cell = 3-10

                                          = -7 bar

The water potential of the cell is -7 bar while that of the surrounding solution is -10 bar. Thus, the cell has a higher water potential than the surrounding solution.

Recall that water usually moves from the region of high to the region of low water potential. Therefore, water will move from the cell to the surrounding solution.
