What happens to a cell in salty water and in fresh water and why

Biology

Otrada [13]3 years ago

In salty water the cell will lose water by osmosis.(osmosis is the movement of water from a higher water potential to a lower water potential through a selectively permeable membrane) The cell will shrink. In fresh water where the water potencial to nside the cell is lower than the water potential outside the cell, the cell will gain water by osmosis, and its contents will become more dilute, and will propably burst, especially if its a red blood cell, or generally any human cell.(osmotic lysis)

faltersainse [42]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the option which are

- superposition

- paleomagnetism

- fluorine analysis

- geolayering

Answer:

Superposition

Explanation:

In calculating the relative age of the fossils, the paleontologists use the principle or law of superposition.

The law of superposition states that the rock has layers in which one layer is deposited over another layer. Each layer of these layers is older than the layer which is present at the top of this layer.

Therefore, this method can be used to determine the relative age of the fossils like in the given case, the species A found in the lower layer than the species B because the species B is present in the top layer.

Thus, the superposition is correct.

Which of the following is not a direct fate of the energy flowing through photosynthesis? a. carnivores b. cellular respiration
EastWind [94]

Answer:

The correct answer is a. carnivores.

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make their food from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. Hence, they convert light energy into chemical energy (food or glucose).

This energy is first utilized in the cellular respiration and then the rest in transferred to the primary consumers i.e. herbivores which feed on green plants.

They use this energy in their metabolic processes. The rest is transferred to the secondary consumers i.e. carnivores which feed on the herbivores.

Hence, energy from the photosynthesis indirectly passes to the carnivores via herbivores.
