The cell surface membranes of cells of flower, though semi-permeable, allows water to pass through cell via aqua proteins embedded in the membrane.
This is true since water goes from inside of cell to the extracellular environment when water potential inside the cell is higher than water potential outside the cell via process of osmosis (water goes from an area of high water potential down a concentration gradient to an area of low water potential). Cells in the flower became plasmolysed (cell surface membranes tear away from the cell walls) as the volume of water in cell decreases.

Hope this helps! :)

Potassium has a half-life of 12 hours. What fraction of a 100g sample is left after 48 hours
EastWind [94]

Answer:

After 48 hours amount left = 6.25 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Half life of potassium = 12 hours

Total mass = 100 g

Mass left after 48 hours = ?

Solution:

Number of half lives passed:

Number of half lives = Time elapsed / half life

Number of half lives = 48 hours/ 12 hours

Number of half lives = 4

At time zero = 100 g

At first half life = 100 g/ 2 = 50 g

At 2nd half life = 50 g/2 = 25 g

At 3rd half life = 25 g/2 = 12.5g

At 4th half life = 12.5 g/2 = 6.25 g
