The picture shows a contractile vacuole of a unicellular freshwater organism. The contractile vacuole regulates the flow of wate
yuradex [85]

Answer:

A.The concentration of water is greater outside the cell than inside the cell.

Explanation:

The contractile vacuole of certain organisms functions to regulate water flow in and out of the cell. It does this by storing excess water that comes into the cell. In the case of this organism with a filled up contractile vacuole, it means water is flowing into the cell.

Naturally, water will flow into a living cell when an osmotic gradient i.e. difference in concemtration, has been created between intracellular and extracellular solutions. Osmosis involves movement of substances from a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration. This means that if water is flowing into the cell, which is stored by the contractile vacuole, the concentration of water must be greater outside the cell than inside.

Predict the formula for a compound made from X3 and Y3–.
PolarNik [594]
Well, a compound has a total charge of 0. So, it's electrically neutral. Since the X is 3+ and the Y is 3- they add to 0. Meaning no subscripts are necessary. Why don't you try a different combo?

Like: 

A^3 and B^1-, to get a 3- charge you need 3xB^1- so the formula is AB3

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The population of the long-legged birds decreases.

Explanation:

The population of the short-legged birds increases whereas the population of  long-legged birds decreases due to availability of food in that environment. The long-legged birds feed on fish whose population decreases due to drought conditions so the population of long-legged birds also decreases while on the other hand, the population of short-legged birds increases or remain the same because they feed on the insects and the insects are available in large amount and less affected by the drought conditions.
