What will be the effect of placing a plant cell in a hypotonic solution?

Because plant cells have a rigid cell wall around them, they act differently than animal cells. When placed in a hypotonic solution, the cell will take in water and start to swell. However, the cell wall prevents it from bursting. It becomes turgid and the pressure inside the cell will increase until it is the same pressure as outside the cell.

Answer:

The cell will swell and explode

Explanation:

Due to the solute's concentration is bigger inside the cell, because of osmosis process, the solute will move from inside the cell to the outside, which is the hypotonic solution. Also, in the hypotonic solution, solvent concentration is bigger than solute concentration, so then by osmosis as well, the solvent (water) will move to inside the cell making it swell and explode.

In some plants, pointed leaves (P) are dominant over rounded leaves (p). A plant with a genotype of Pp _____.
Mrrafil [7]

According to Mendel’s laws of dominance, when a plant with dominant trait is crossed with plant with recessive trait, it results into dominant phenotype in F1 offspring. In the given question, a plant with pointed leaves (P) are dominant and plant with round leaves (p) is recessive. On crossing a pointed leaves (PP) with a plant with round leaves (pp) a heterozygous (Pp) pant with pointed leaves will be produced.

Emily has been asked to find out how
Juliette [100K]

She should investigate how temperature affects the rate of oxygen production.

<h3>Photosynthesis</h3>

During photosynthesis, green plants make use of inorganic products in the form of water and carbon dioxide to synthesize carbohydrates. The reaction only happens in the presence of solar radiation and oxygen is evolved as a by-product.

The process involves a series of chemical reactions. However, the summary of the whole reactions is represented by the following equation:

carbon dioxide + water ----> glucose + oxygen

Thus, if Emily is to find out how temperature affects photosynthesis. She will need to use a plant as a case study. One factor that can easily be used to measure the rate of photosynthesis is oxygen production by plants.

In other words, Emily will have to set up an experiment where a plant species will be subjected to the same environmental conditions, except temperature. Then, a suitable method will be used to measure the amount of oxygen produced. Any difference in the volume of oxygen produced can then be attributed to the effects of temperature.

Explain the process of homeostasis through BOTH negative and positive feedback
kotegsom [21]
Homeostasis is maintained by negative feedback loops within the organism. In contrast, positive feedback loops push the organism further out of homeostasis, but may be necessary for life to occur. Homeostasis is controlled by the nervous and endocrine systems in mammals.
