Answer:
The water potentials (Ψ) of the cell and its surroundings are the same.
Explanation:
When a cell is kept in hypotonic surroundings such as distilled water, the osmotic movement of water occurs towards the cell. The entry of water makes the cell swell up and it becomes turgid. Water potential is determined by solute and pressure potentials mainly. Here, the solute potential of the cell and the distilled water was different resulting in differences in their respective water potential values which in turn served as a driving force for endosmosis.
When the cell is fully turgid, the solute concentration of the cell and the surrounding distilled water become equal to each other. Under these conditions, the water potential of the cell and distilled water are the same.
Answer:
The leukocyte, commonly known as a white blood cell (or WBC), is a major component of the body’s defenses against disease. Leukocytes protect the body against invading microorganisms and body cells with mutated DNA, and they clean up debris. Platelets are essential for the repair of blood vessels when damage to them has occurred; they also provide growth factors for healing and repair.Although leukocytes and erythrocytes both originate from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow, they are very different from each other in many significant ways. For instance, leukocytes are far less numerous than erythrocytes: Typically there are only 5000 to 10,000 per µL. They are also larger than erythrocytes and are the only formed elements that are complete cells, possessing a nucleus and organelles. And although there is just one type of erythrocyte, there are many types of leukocytes. Most of these types have a much shorter lifespan than that of erythrocytes, some as short as a few hours or even a few minutes in the case of acute infection.
Hope this helps :)

" This is the most stupidest answer / question ever!"
Answer: B
Explanation:
Synthesis of an inducible enzyme requires the substrate bound to repressor.
In the synthesis of a specific inducible enzymes, a substrate on which the enzyme acts must bind to the repressor that prevents the synthesis of the inducible enzyme. Example of an inducible enzyme is β-galactosidase in Escherichia coli that degrades lactose and galactose.
The synthesis of β-galactosidase is regulated by a repressor protein, that binds to the region of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that codes for the synthesis of β-galactosidase. If lactose or galactose (substrate) is present, it acts as an inducer which induce the repressor protein from binding to DNA. Hence the enzyme is synthesized
