Answer:
c) pure water on the produce would put it in a hypotonic environment and keep the produce firm.
Explanation:
Ideally, in a natural environment, plants leafs remain fresh and firm looking by absorbing water from their natural environment. However, in a case where these vegetables have been removed from their natural environment, they have lost the ability to absorb water under natural conditions.
In order to keep the leaf cells of the vegetables firm and rigid, so they can look fresh and appealing, they have to be placed in a hypotonic condition i.e. an external condition with high concentration of water. To do this, a grocer in a supermarket will occasionally spray the vegetables with pure water to keep the vegetables' cell from drying out and hence lead to wilting, which would make the vegetables less appealing to customers.
There is only one measure of "evolutionary success": having more offspring. A "useful" trait gets conserved and propagated by the simple virtue of there being more next-generation individuals carrying it and particular genetic feature "encoding" it. That's all there is to it.
One can view this as genes "wishing" to create phenotypic features that would propagate them (as in "Selfish Gene"), or as competition between individuals, or groups, or populations. But those are all metaphors making it easier to understand the same underlying phenomenon: random change and environmental pressure which makes the carrier more or less successful at reproduction.
You will sometimes hear the term "evolutionary successful species" applied to one that spread out of its original niche, or "evolutionary successful adaptation" for one that spread quickly through population (like us or our lactase persistence mutation), but, again, that's the same thing.
Yes we never know what could happen in an eco system
That this is the desired response at this stage of gestation
Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
1. The data from the experiment shows that <u>as the percentage of salt in the solution used to water the plants increased, the growth rate of the plants decreased</u>. As the percentage increased from A to D, the change between the average initial and the final heights decreased, meaning that an increase in the percentage of the salt in the solution used to water the plants had a negative impact on the growth rates of the plants.
2. Due to the solutions used to water the plants in groups E and F being more concentrated (hypertonic) to that of the cell sap of the plant, <u>water molecules diffused out of the cell sap to the ambient solution</u>. As time goes by, the plants lose too much water, become wilted, and died off eventually. Instead of water molecules to keep diffusing into the plants in order for them to grow, the reverse was occurring and this led to their death.
