What happens as a result of osmosis when an animal cell containing 1% sugar is placed in pure water

1 answer:

4 0

The process of osmosis is the movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

If 1% sugar solution is placed in pure water, then there would be a higher concentration of water molecules outside the cell compared to inside the cell. The solution outside the cell would be hypo-tonic (containing fewer solute molecules than inside the cell). Water will move into the cell by inward osmosis and the cell would then swell.

Write a paragraph about competition. Must include 5 sentences at least. Include one sentence about the two animals or plants tha

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

I'm not writing your paragraph for you, but I'll give you some help on it.

Explanation:

2 animals that will compete are ants

they are constantly fighting for new territory

What happens, is that when the attackers come, the scouts for the defenders spray something (I forget what) into the air. This alerts the more heavily armed troops nearby. If the defenders win, the attacks are driven back to their colony. If the attackers win, the ants in the defending colony are either overrun and killed, or they run. If the attackers win, they find all the larvae in the nest and either kill them to stop the line together, or in some cases, eat them.

Hope this helps.

2.
A. Breathes with gills - fish
B. Breathes with lungs - snake

Here's a different key for the same four animals:

1.
A. Has four legs ... 2
B. Does not have 4 legs ... 3

2.
