Answer:A) The ocean is hypertonic to the erythrocytes.

Explanation:cells shrink when placed in an hypertonic solution.

This shrinkage occurs does to the movement of water out of the cell and through the cell membrane.this phenomenon is called plasmolysis.

The movement of water out of this cell occurs through osmosis.osmosis is the movement of water from a region of high concentration of solute to a region of low concentration of solute, through a semi-permeable membrane.

In this case,sea water has a higher concentration of solute (hypertonic) and the blood cells has a lower concentration(hypotonic) .the cell membrane serves as the semi-permeable membrane and and a result water moves out of the cell

7nadin3 [17]

Explanation:

We know that the larger the circle, the more large the diameter of the circle the more the quantity being studied.

We can clearly see that the South eastern coast of Australia has more number of people diagnosed with cancer.

The South western and the Northern part also records a sizable amount of skin cancer cases.

  • In the middle part of the map where the circles are small, the number of people diagnosed  with cancer is very low
  • Other areas without the circle did not record any case of skin cancer.

Limiting factors in water bio mes include
lawyer [7]

Answer:

all of the above

Explanation:

Water biomes describe all the living things living in an area of water such as a lake or ocean. The surrounding environment plays a huge part in what organisms able to live there.

For example, green plants and algae require sufficient sunlight and oxygen to perform photosynthesis. Green plants and algae are an important food source for many other organisms. The amount of salt is important for various fish, as they will be unable to survive in very high salt concentrations. Therefore, all of the above are limiting factors.
