Is hypertonic active or passive transport

Biology
1 answer:
Len [333]3 years ago

I'm a little confused by this question. Hypertonic just means that something has more of something than another thing. For example, if you place a cell in a solution, and 2% of the cell is made out of something while the solution is made out of 40% of the same thing, the solution would be hypertonic to the cell. Sorry if that explanation doesn't make sense, I tried my best lol.

Although I'd assume the answer is passive transport as anything that is hypertonic to something else will diffuse down its gradient in an attempt to reach a balance.

IgorLugansk [536]
The correct option is D.
If water density at freezing point is greater, the ice formed will sink to the bottom of the water body and freeze the water up from the bottom. This will surely lead to the death of everything that live inside the water.
