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.

Arada [10]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A. novelty

B. creativity

C. consensus

Answer:

A. novelty

Explanation:

Novelty refers to a qualitative identity that is used to represent the new ideal things or some fresh and refreshing ideas.

In the given question, the person who was presenting about the idea of How DNA works in genetics? failed to present something new about the DNA and just presented what was already known to the audience.

Since the presenter failed to express the new ideas in his presentation about the DNA that is no novel ideas were presented therefore the audience started to leave the presentation.

Thus, Option-A is correct.
