Answer:

When a cell gains water, the size will expand, making the cell bigger, and the weight will increase, depending on the type of cell as well as the amount of water.

Answer:  Water will move across the semi-permeable membrane in order to balance both sides until they are neutral.

"Osmosis is the net movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane driven by a difference in solute concentrations on the two sides of the membrane. A selectively permeable membrane is one that allows unrestricted passage of water, but not solute molecules or ions."

Or

When a cell gains water it becomes much bigger and heavier which could possibly lead to its explosion.

"Water moving into a cell can make the cell swell, or even burst! This happens when cells are placed into a hypotonic solution. Like the egg in distilled (pure) water. Water leaving a cell can make it shrivel up"

LUCKY_DIMON [66]
I think the answer MIGHT be D. RNA synthesis is carried out by proteins known as RNA polymerases that transcribe the genetic information from DNA in a highly-regulated, multi-stage process. But transcribe and translate are different so I'm not a 100% sure. Hope this helps!

How is the berries of a mountain ash, the helicopter seeds of maples and linden trees, the parachute seeds of the cottonwood tre
ehidna [41]
Well you see each of the seeds have developed a special technique that allows their individual seeds to travel further and lower the probability of landing close to the tree and not getting the sunlight it needs

For the berries birds and various animals eat them carrying them away so hopefully they can get more sunlight

Helicopter seeds do the same thing except the sides themselves float away from the tree to get  a further distance.

Finally the acorn seeds of the oak tree use the same concept of the berries. Various squirrels do eat these kinds of nuts and bury them in the ground in hopes of finding them later. But due to squirrels not remembering where they buried their acorn seeds the acorns are well away from the tree and start growing. 

So you see all of these tree seeds are specially developed to help it get away from the trees. Especially so that they can grow in a much better environment than the one provided to them initially.
