the answer is a it can be used as an energy source by organisms
Answer: Ectotherms depend on external heat sources. Their body temperature changes with the temperature of the environment. Endotherms generated heat internally to maintain body temperature.
Explanation:
Unlike osmotic pressure, tonicity is influenced only by solutes that cannot cross the membrane, as only these exert an effective osmotic pressure. Solutes able to freely cross the membrane do not affect tonicity because they will always equilibrate with equal concentrations on both sides of the membrane without net solvent movement.
