Answer:

2. cell wall

Explanation:

The Cell wall is a thick layer made up of peptidoglycan that structurally supports and protects the cell. The cell wall is located just outside the semi permeable membrane. It give rigidity to the cell.

The cell wall also serves as a sieve or filter that allows or prevents the movement of molecule in or out of the semi permeable membrane.

An hypotonic solution is a solution that has a higher quantity of water when compared the quantity of solute dissolved in the water and this causes the solution to have a lower osmotic potential.

When a bacteria is growing in an hypotonic surrounding environment, there is a large amount of water present outside the cell. The cell wall of the bacteria serves as barrier and prevents the flow of water into the cell and this would prevent the cell wall of the bacteria from bursting open due to the rigidity of the cell wall.

Any bacteria that lacks a cell wall and is place in an hypotonic surrounding environment would swell and eventually burst open due the movement of water from hypotonic surrounding environment into the bacteria.

Answer:

They can perform photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food, and heterotrophs are organisms that feed on other organisms. This means that the ameba and paramecium can eat only other microorganisms.

The euglena is not limited to this. Hypothetically speaking, if there were no other microorganisms around it (which is unlikely), the euglena would not die as long as it is exposed to sunlight. Thanks to chloroplasts, organelles that contain chlorophyll, it can perform photosynthesis - a process in which, with the help of sunlight, carbon dioxide, minerals, and water are used to synthesize food.

In the following table, label each statement as true (T) or false (F). If the statement is false, rewrite it so that it is true.
iren [92.7K]
1) False. Scientists may predict something but realize a difference soon after before the test, so they could definitely change the hypothesis if they want. It’s only AFTER the experiment they cannot. Because a hypothesis is like a “guess” as to what’s going to happen, right?

2) False. A hypothesis can’t be “valid” because it’s literally a prediction.

3) True. Especially if you’re doing a chemistry lab, it’s really important things are done in order or else the product might result as something else you were expecting, or can be very dANGEROUS

4) True. The conclusion must be based on data because it’s the observation that was seen.

Hope this helps!! I could have answered in short form but I just wanted to make them understandable:)

Are rocks hard i dont know if rocks are hard
Ray Of Light [21]
It is extremely useful for geologists, because most specimens of a given mineral are very close to the same hardness. ... So, we can conclude that not all the rocks are hard, and the hardness of rocks depends on how the atoms of the rock's minerals are bound to each other and how they are arranged.
