What does it mean to say that a plant cell is isotonic to its surrounding solution

Biology
1 answer:
kolezko [41]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A cell in an isotonic solution is in equilibrium with its surroundings, meaning the solute concentrations inside and outside are the same (iso means equal in Latin). In this state there is no concentration gradient and therefore, no large movement of water in or out. Explanation:

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

c) There will be a net movement of salt from side B to side A

Explanation:

According to the given information, the solution at side A is hypotonic to the solution at side B. The separating membrane is permeable to salt and would allow the movement of salt from the hypertonic side B to the hypotonic side A. Transport of substances down their concentration gradient is a passive movement and occurs from the region of higher concentration of the substance to that of its lower concentration.

How does capillary action help sustain life on earth? Uptake of food and water by plants Change in climates Water strider walkin
frez [133]
Capillary action is a combination of the adhesive and cohesive properties of water in which the water is able to move up a small tube against the pull of gravity. Therefore, the uptake of food and water is due to capillary action.

Change in climate has nothing to do with adhesion and cohesion in water. Some insects can walk on water due to surface tension, which is due to cohesion. However, there is no movement upward through a tube with surface tension, and so it is not an example of capillary action.

Hope this helps! :)

How can a change in technology affect scientific knowledge?
Shalnov [3]
It helps scientists improve on research and tests/examinations to understand the object a little more. For Example: The newer modified microscope helps zoom into harder to see microrganisms. So if technology changed then most of our scientific knowledge wouldve been mistaken this whole time. We wouldnt know many things if technology didnt exist.

When the football is snapped, which player will have the smallest change in kinetic energy?
DanielleElmas [232]
When you are finding the kinetic energy, it is best to keep this formula in mind.

Ek = 1/2mv²

Where m is mass and v is velocity. Basically sub the numbers in to find the kinetic energy for each. In this case, subbing all the numbers, the smallest change in kinetic energy is the Lineman with a kinetic energy of just 540N.
