Answer:

Animal cells tend to do best in an isotonic environment, plant cells tend to do best in

a hypotonic environment. This is demonstrated in the attached PDF.

Explanation:

A cell that does not have a rigid cell wall, such as a red blood cell, will swell and lyse (burst)  when placed in a hypotonic solution, a process called cytolysis. Cells with a cell wall will swell when placed in a hypotonic solution, but once the cell is turgid (firm), the tough cell wall prevents any more water from entering the cell. When placed in a hypertonic solution, a cell without a cell wall will lose water to the environment, shrivel, and probably die. In a hypertonic solution, a cell with a cell wall will lose water too. The plasma membrane pulls away from the cell wall as it shrivels, a process called plasmolysis.

I hope this helps. If not I am really sorry!

frozen [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

His conclusion is correct. We are overpopulated. Our planet cannot stand double the population it currently has. Waste for one thing is an unsolvable problem with 14 billion people on the planet. We are already in massive trouble with 7 billion.

But the moral principle involved is not correct. Laws have been set up that prevents us from killing each other off. Holocausts have solved nothing but that we are capable of mass murder. The population problem and all it's side effects have not been eradicated.

The Bible records God's attempt at doing what Thanos wanted to do. He saw immediately after the flood that was not the answer. Too many people is one thing. Murdering half is no answer that will work.
