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.

Does a carbon monoxide detector go off continuously

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer: CO alarms have a life expectancy of around seven years. The CO alarm will beep every 30 seconds or display ERR or END. If a CO alarm is at its end-of-life, replacing the battery will not stop the beep. Most detectors will beep 4 or 5 times in a row about every 4 seconds. Do not mistake dangerous levels of poisonous gas for a detector with low battery.

An essential functional group involved in cellular energy transfer is the _______ group.

sweet [91]

An essential functional group involved in cellular energy transfer is the phosphate group.
It is important because it is charged and can release H+ ions into the solution. This makes the group highly acidic, which is important when it comes to the transfer of energy within a cell. Apart from the phosphate group, hydroxyl, carbonyl, amino, and other are also important.
