How does osmosis create turgor pressure in plants?

1 answer:

Osmosis (diffusion of water across a membrane) causes plant cells to gain or lose water, which increases and decreases turgor pressure, respectively. Plant cells gain water when the concentration of water is higher outside the cell. This is called hypotonic conditions (hypo=low solute outside)

Hey there! I was wondering if someone could explain what the integumentary muscles do in the body!

It consists of skin, hair, nails, and glands. The skin protects the body from the environment on the outside. It also functions to retain body fluids, protect against disease, eliminate waste products, and regulate body temperature. It also helps store fat and water.

Answer:Human height

Explanation:

Inheritance patterns are often more complex than predicted by simple mendalian genetics. When Mendel studied some phenotypic characters, like the human skin color and height, they were found to be an addictive effect of two or more genes on a single phenotypic character. These are called quantitative characters, which usually indicates polygenic inheritance.

The human height is an example of quantitative character, it is controlled by at least 3 genes having 6 alleles. 3 genes with 6 alleles from both parent can give rise to wide range of phenotypic character (heights).
