Well I'm not exactly certain where the teacher is going with this, but an often used example is red blood cells (RBCs) aka: erythrocytes.
RBCs are suspended in blood plasma as they flood through vessels around and around the body, so the osmolarity (amount of small particles that affect osmosis) must remain relatively constant. This is termed "isotonic", meaning the same amount of osmosis-influencing particles that are there inside the RBCs' cytosol, within their plasma membranes.
If the plasma osmolarity get too high, called hypertonic (as with extra salt particles) then water inside the RBCs will have an osmotic force driving it out of the cells' membranes, to flow where there are more salt particles. This will lead to cell shrinkage (called "crenation").
Counter to that, if the plasma osmolarity gets too low, as due to low plasma salt with excessive water intake (for example from the condition "water intoxication"), then the plasma will be hypotonic with respect to the intracellular cytosol concentration. This can result in water rushing into the RBCs' membranes via osmosis, causing the cells to swell from discs into spheres (balls), or even rupture and burst (a phenomenon called "hemolysis").
HOPE THOSE EXAMPLES HELP!!
Rain forests are huge carbon sinks, as plants and trees actively remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store the carbon in biomass. This is a vital ecosystem service for counteracting climate change. Forests regulate the climate, as evapotranspiration from forests influence precipitation patterns and the temperature. Many as yet underdiscovered plants may be of benefit to us as sources of useful products or drugs. Rain forests act as a refuge for vulnerable plant species, thereby protecting them from human over-exploitation and saving biodiversity for future human generations.
The answer to this is a group of individuals many species living in an area.

Answer:
Yes, The neocortex is the center for higher brain functions, such as perception, decision-making and language. Our group focuses on the mechanisms governing neocortex development, with a strong interest on the role and regulation of the neural stem cells.
