Analyze how osmosis affects the size of the cell when placed in either an isotonic, hypotonic or hypertonic solution.

Explanation:

Osmosis is defined as the movement of water from a LOW concentration of solute to a HIGH concentration of solute.

Isotonic means that both the solution (environment of the cell) and the inside of the cell have equal concentrations. Now, it is important to know that even though they may have similar concentrations, there may be different solutes inside or outside of the cell.

Hypertonic is when one solution (either the inside of the cell or the outside) has a higher concentration of a certain solute

Hypotonic is the solution that has the less concentration of a certain solute.

If the inside of the cell has more solute than the outside, then the water will move inside the cell, make it bigger, and eventually make it burst.

If the outside of the cell has a higher concentration of a solute, the water inside the cell will move out of the cell and go to the environment. This will cause the cell to shrink in size.

If both the outside and inside of the cell have the same solutes at the same concentration, then the two are said to be isotonic, and the cell will keep its normal shape.

mina [271]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In  phase-contrast objective and a phase contrast optical systems is equipped with Light microscope  .

Phase contrast microscope is used to differentiate unstained structures in a cell  that differ in refractive indices and thickness. Thus it is usefull for examining  living unstained organisms.

Light that passed through materials of different refractive index and/or thickness will undergo a change in Phase. The difference in phase or wave front irregularities cause variation in brightness of the structures.

Hoping this might help!!!

Ms. Hendren has decided that she would like to grow some tomatoes and wants to know how much light will cause the plant to grow
yan [13]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

Independent variable - the amount (time period) of light given to pots.

Dependent variable - size of tomatoes

Control variable - dark or absence of light

Control group - pot placed in the darkroom.

Explanation:

The independent variable is the variable that is changed or manipulated in particular research or study to see the effect of that variable on dependent variable. In this case, the amount of light each pot gets is the independent variable.

The dependent variable is the variable that depends on the change in the independent variable. The size of tomatoes is the dependent variable here.

The control variable is the variable that remains in standard condition or condition which can be used to compare with the effect of the independent variable. The absence of light on one of the tomato pot is the control variable.

The control group is the group of subjects did not get any treatment that experiment group receives. The pot which is placed in the dark room is control group here.
