Why does water move into a cell placed in hypotonic solution?

Biology

Elena L [17]3 years ago

The greatest concentration of water is outside the cell. Therefore, water enters the celland fills the central vacuole, causing the contents of the plant cell to press against the cell wall.

A hypotonic solution is defined as a solution with a lesser amount of solutes, and therefore a greater amount of solvent (water). Because there is more water, it will move along the concentration gradient (from high to low concentration) into the area with less water (the cell).

Assoli18 [71]

The cell is most likely prokaryotic because:

Prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus due to which the DNA are seen throughout the cytoplasm.

Eukaryotes have membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus. So for eukaryotes, the DNA will be present packed inside the nucleus instead of being dispersed in the cytoplasm.

Prokaryotes can either be autotrophic or heterotrophic depending on their mode of nutrition. Autotrophic prokaryotes can make organic molecules for a carbon dioxide source. On the other hand, heterotrophic prokaryotes can take carbon from organic compounds. Hence, the organism can be autotrophic or heterotrophic.

C. How is the energy produced by respiration stored?
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Energy produced by respiration is stored in Adenosine triphosphate, also known as ATP.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration uses glucose and turns it into ATP. Using NADH and FADH₂ (Created in the Krebs Cycle) in the Electron Transport Chain, we can produce 32-38 molecules of ATP. ATP carries a lot of energy, and your cells and body uses ATP (ATP is basically like a large battery).
