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

Biology
2 answers:
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).

How does atp provide energy to our body
Brrunno [24]
ATP is Adenosine Triphosphate. It is the primary energy carrier in all living organisms. ATP is the energy metabolized from food and light collected by organisms. It is often referred to as the energy currency of life. ATP is used to power almost all of the cells activities by harnessing food and light. It powers muscle contraction, protein consumption, cell communication, heat mechanisms, and much more. I hope this helped you!!! :))

Sunlight allows producers and the animals that depend on them to live in the ____ zone.
beks73 [17]

Answer: B neritic

Explanation:

The neritic zone is the top ocean layer closest to the coastline and above the continental shelf. This zone extends from the intertidal zone (zone between high and low tide) to the edge of the continental shelf of the ocean floor, where the shelf drops off forming the continental slope. The neritic zone is shallow, reaching depths of about 200 meters (660 feet). It is a subsection of the pelagic zone and includes the ocean's epipelagic zone, which lies within the photic or light zone.

Upon exposure to blue light, plants not only begin to grow toward the light, but move their chloroplasts to the sunny side of ea
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

A) maximizes light absorption by the chloroplasts for photosynthesis

Explanation:

Chloroplasts are the double membrane-bound organelles present in the leaf cells. Chloroplasts contain light-absorbing pigment chlorophyll that absorbs maximum light of blue and red wavelengths.

Absorption of light by chlorophyll pigments drives the light reactions of photosynthesis which in turn provide ATP and NADPH to fix carbon dioxide gas into glucose by light-independent reactions. The process of photosynthesis produces glucose which in turn serves as an energy source for plants and supports their growth and development.

Therefore, exposure to blue light increases the rate of photosynthesis as chloroplasts in the leaf cells are aligned to absorb maximum blue light to support photosynthesis. And a higher rate of photosynthesis produces more glucose to support the growth of the plants.
