Answer:
A Chemical Energy
Explanation:
Chemical energy, Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds. Chemical energy may be released during a chemical reaction, often in the form of heat.
Passive transport is a movement ofbiochemicals and other atomic or molecularsubstances across cell membranes without need of energy input. Unlike active transport, it does not require an input of cellular energy because it is instead driven by the tendency of the system to grow in entropy. The rate of passive transport depends on thepermeability of the cell membrane, which, in turn, depends on the organization and characteristics of the membrane lipids andproteins. The four main kinds of passive transport are simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, filtration and osmosis.
Answer: A
The cells would lose water and shrink. In a hypertonic solution, the
concentration of solute is higher than water in a cell. With this, there is a
net movement of water from inside to outside initiating water to lose from the
cytoplasm and vacuole causing the cell to shrink due to osmosis and achieve
equilibrium.
This process is applied in food preservation where microbial cells will
be dehydrated in a hypertonic environment, making them malfunction and preventing
them to cause food spoilage.
