Explanation:
Secondary metabolism produces a large number of specialized compounds (estimated 200,000) that do not aid in the growth and development of plants but are required for the plant to survive in its environment. Secondary metabolism is connected to primary metabolism by using building blocks and biosynthetic enzymes derived from primary metabolism. Primary metabolism governs all basic physiological processes that allow a plant to grow and set seeds, by translating the genetic code into proteins, carbohydrates, and amino acids. Specialized compounds from secondary metabolism are essential for communicating with other organisms in mutualistic (e.g. attraction of beneficial organisms such as pollinators) or antagonistic interactions (e.g. deterrent against herbivores and pathogens). They further assist in coping with abiotic stress such as increased UV-radiation. The broad functional spectrum of specialized metabolism is still not fully understood. In any case, a good balance between products of primary and secondary metabolism is best for a plant’s optimal growth and development as well as for its effective coping with often changing environmental conditions. Well known specialized compounds include alkaloids, polyphenols including flavonoids, and terpenoids. Humans use many of these compounds for culinary, medicinal and nutraceutical purposes.

Answer:
Decreasing the concentration of N2O3
Explanation:
This is because the products on the right of the reaction occupy more space. One (1) mole of NO and another mole of NO2 will occupy more space than the one (1) mole of N2O3. Therefore decreasing the concentration of N2O3 will shift the reaction to the right because the products will have more space to occupy – hence favoring equilibrium.
Answer:
<u>253.33 mmHg</u>
Explanation:
According to Charles' Law,
P₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂
P₁T₂ = P₂T₁
P₂ = P₁T₂ / T₁
= 760 x 40 / 30
= 760 x 4/3
= 1013.33 mmHg
Change in Pressure
= 1013.33 - 760
= <u>253.33 mmHg</u>
shes your teacher duh, they have magic spells that give em the answer
Answer: A solution will be hypertonic to a cell if its solute concentration is higher than that inside the cell, and the solutes cannot cross the membrane. If a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, there will be a net flow of water into the cell, and the cell will gain volume.
Picture:
Meaning of hypertonic: (1): having a higher osmotic pressure than a particular fluid, typically a body fluid or intracellular fluid. (2) of or in a state of abnormally high muscle tone.
