Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
1. The data from the experiment shows that <u>as the percentage of salt in the solution used to water the plants increased, the growth rate of the plants decreased</u>. As the percentage increased from A to D, the change between the average initial and the final heights decreased, meaning that an increase in the percentage of the salt in the solution used to water the plants had a negative impact on the growth rates of the plants.
2. Due to the solutions used to water the plants in groups E and F being more concentrated (hypertonic) to that of the cell sap of the plant, <u>water molecules diffused out of the cell sap to the ambient solution</u>. As time goes by, the plants lose too much water, become wilted, and died off eventually. Instead of water molecules to keep diffusing into the plants in order for them to grow, the reverse was occurring and this led to their death.
The cell goes in a "dormant phase". A good example is the neuron. Neurons are very metabolically active but they don't divide so they go into a phase that doesn't include growth or replication of genetic material.
Answer:
Ecosystem
Explanation:
The ecosystem includes a total of the abiotic and biotic components of a region. These components interact with each other and make the ecosystem self-sufficient in terms of energy and nutrients. Climatic conditions, physical factors, soil type, and its feature together make the non-living or abiotic part of an ecosystem. They interact among themselves and with the living components by nutrient cycling. All the species of living beings together make the biotic components of an ecosystem. They interact with each other by food chains and food webs.
Oceans are an example of the aquatic ecosystem while deserts are terrestrial ecosystems.
