Answer:

The equilibrium law

Explanation:

According to the equilibrium law , when $\text{concentration}$ of any of the  reactants or the products in the reaction at an equilibrium state,  is changed, then it changes the composition of equilibrium mixture in order to minimize the effect of

Acetic acid (in excess) + $\text{alcohol}$ ⇄  $\text{ester}$ + water

$\text{Fischer esterification}$ is a reaction which involves the equilibrium. So to force the reaction towards the side of $\text{ester}$, one of the reactant is taken in excess. All this can be explained easily by applying the equilibrium law.

Are plant cells affected when water is scarce
boyakko [2]
<span>Water is vital to the existence of plant life. Not only do plants use it to keep their cells from drying out, but they need water to move nutrients and raw materials throughout their systems to areas where photosynthesis and seed production take place. When water stress occurs, whether caused by drought or root impairment, many invisible processes are affected.</span>
