Answer:

- Water entered the potato strips because the potato cells contained higher concentration of solutes than its external environment.

- The solutions are hypotonic to the solution in the potato cells.

Explanation:

According to osmosis, water will move from a region where it is high in concentration to that region where it is low in concentration. However, a region with high solute concentration contains a low water concentration and vice versa.

Hence, according to this question, water is said to move into potato strips from solutions of molar concentrations like 0.0M, 0.2M etc. Water moved into the potato strips because potato cells contained higher concentration of solutes than its external environment. This means that the external solutions are HYPERTONIC i.e. low in solute concentration to the solution in the potato strips.

madreJ [45]

Answer:

can be mutualistic or antagonistic.

Explanation:

According to the given information, the bacterial species <em>Staphylococcus aureus </em>present in some nasal passages and on the skin do not harm the person. The ecological interaction wherein both organisms are benefited and none is harmed is known as mutualism. Here, <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> does not cause any disease in human when present on the skin and in the nasal passage, that is both are in mutualism.

However, when present in the bloodstream, the same bacterial species can cause infections such as sepsis and represents antagonist effects on the host.  

Hence, the <em>staphylococcus aureus </em>species may be mutualistic or antagonistic to human.

What are animals whose body temperature is regulated mainly by internal bodily processes called?
sweet [91]

Endotherms are animals whose body temperature is regulated mainly by internal bodily processes. Endotherms are warm blooded animals such as birds and mammals that maintain a constant body temperature independent of the environment. Endotherms require high quantities of fuel to produce heat for their survival under low external temperatures.

How do enzymes affect the activation energy of a reaction
Kitty [74]
Catalysts lower the Activation energy for reactions. The lower the activation energy for a reaction,the faster the rate. Thus enzymes speed up reactions by lowering activation energy. Many enzymes change shape when substrate ms bind.
