Answer:
Air pressure is caused by the weight of the air molecules above
Explanation:
Air pressure is caused by the weight of the air molecules above. Even tiny air molecules have some weight, and the huge numbers of air molecules that make up the layers of our atmosphere collectively have a great deal of weight, which presses down on whatever is below.

Answer:
A. Their bodies tend to take in too much water.
Explanation:
Osmoregulation is the maintenance of osmotic concentration inside the body cells and in the extracellular fluid by controlling the amount of water and salts. Organisms living in water can be divided into two groups: Some are osmoconformers which change the osmolarity of body fluids with respect to the surrounding medium. Some are osmoregulators which do not allow change in internal osmolarity and try to maintain it by various means.
If as osmoregulator is placed in fresh water environment then their body is hypertonic to their environment. Osmosis will occur which is the movement of water from low solute to high solute concentration. Thus the problems faced by such organisms would be:
- Entry of excess water
- Loss of body salts to outside.
Adaptations in such organisms would be:
- Body cover such as scales or adipose covers
- They do not drink more water
- Excess water is eliminated as dilute urine
- Special cells called ionocytes or chloride cells help in active uptake of sodium ions and chloride ions.
Answer:
increasing substrate concentration,
Explanation:
The reaction rate still increases with increasing substrate concentration, but levels off at a much lower rate. By increasing the enzyme concentration, the maximum reaction rate greatly increases. Conclusions: The rate of a chemical reaction increases as the substrate concentration increases.
Answer:
D (Swell and Burst)
Explanation:
Pure water contains a very low concentration of solute materials, hence it is regarded as HYPOTONIC. Since the red blood cell contains intracellular fluid that contains more solutes than the extracellular pure water it is placed in, it is said to be HYPERTONIC in comparison with the pure water.
This difference in concentration between the extracellular solution (pure water) and the intracellular fluid (red blood cell) called CONCENTRATION GRADIENT facilitates the movement of water by OSMOSIS. Osmosis is the process whereby water moves across a semi-permeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a high solute concentration.
Based on this osmotic gradient, water moves from the extracellular solution into the cell, causing it to swell and eventually burst as a result of excessive water intake.
