Explain why plants along the road often die after the road is sprayed with a salt solution to melt ice

Biology
1 answer:
vovangra [49]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

The salt solution is meant to lower the ice melting point hence keep most of the water from turning into ice even at zero degrees temperatures. The salts are dissolved in the water to form a salty solution that percolates the ground and reach plant roots. Because the salty water is hypertonic (more concentrated) to the cell cytoplasm of the plant roots, water is drawn from the plant by osmosis. This is the reversal of normal plant root absorption of water from the soil. This causes the plant root to wither and subsequently the whole plant to die. Remember in osmosis, water moves from the less concentrated solution to the more concentrated solution through a semipermeable membrane.

why would shuffling genetic material to produce new combinations of characteristics be advantageous to a species?
Radda [10]

Answer:

Suffling of genetic material increases genetic variation in offspring which is important for evolution.

Explanation:

Genetic shuffling or genetic recombination helps in the formation of new trait combinations which increase the genetic variation in the population and this genetic variation is very much important for the evolution of species.

In sexual reproduction, the genetic shuffling occurs during the formation of gametes when the two homologous chromosomes exchange their genetic material with each other. This increase variation in gametes.

Fusion of two different gametes in sexual reproduction also helps in increasing the genetic variation in the offspring.

Which microscope would be MOST useful for examining the contours of the surface of a bacteria cell?. A)compound light microscope
Gala2k [10]
The correct option is C.
Scanning electron microscope is a type of microscope that uses beams of electrons that are reflected to form images to scan the surfaces of mounted biological specimens. High resolution, three dimensional images can be obtained via the reflected beam of electrons. Thus, the electron scanning microscope is the perfect microscope for examining the contours on the surface of a bacterial cell.
