To melt the ice during the winter season, road crews often put sand and salt solutions on the roadways to help melt the snow and

ice. The plants that live close to the road often die or wilt after this procedure. Using your knowledge of osmosis and plant structures, which type of solution would cause this to happen to plant cells? Group of answer choices

5 0

Answer:

The missing answer choices are:

a. hypotonic

b. isotonic

c. osmosis

d. hypertonic

The correct option is <u>d. hypertonic</u>

Explanation:

A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of solutes than the concentration of solutes present inside the plant. As there is a difference in concentration between the inside and the outside of the plant, the plant loses water in an attempt to balance the difference. As a result, there is an excessive loss of water that dehydrates the plant and kills it.

Answer:

Evolution means change in the physical features of an organism.

Explanation:

Evolution means change in the physical features of an organism. Evolution occurs in the population of an organisms due to various factors such as mutation, non-random mating and natural selection. Nonrandom mating occurs when an organism prefer mating with particular superior organisms or with the similar organism. Mutation in the genetic makeup of an organism is also responsible evolution. this mutation occurs when an organism experience ultraviolet radiation from the sun, or also occur if an error in DNA during cell division. Gene flow is also known as gene migration is the transfer of genetic material or traits from one population to another when the organism is migrated to another environment. Some organisms are selected naturally because they have the potential to survive in that environment so they survive and that doesn't adopt itself to the environment, it will extinct from the environment.

Which of the following sources of electricity DOES NOT employ the use of turbines?
AleksandrR [38]
<h3>Answer:  A) Solar</h3>

=========================================================

Explanation:

The sources of wind, hydro, and fossil fuels all use a turbine. So we can rule out choices B,C, and D.

A turbine is basically a wheel that spins to generate motion energy into electrical energy. Think of it like one of those stationary bicycles and the bike powers up a nearby lamp (the faster you pedal, the brighter the bulb gets). Another example that's similar to a turbine would be those flashlights where you can rotate a crank to have the light come on (which is useful for when the batteries are completely dead). The windmill blades act as a giant turbine that the wind spins around. Hydroelectric turbines are spun by the falling water. Fossil fuels are burned to create very hot steam which then powers a turbine. Even nuclear power uses turbines as well. With fossil fuels and nuclear energy, the idea is to heat up a vat of water and then turn that intensely hot steam into electrical energy through a turbine.

With solar panels however, the electrical energy is converted through a process of sunlight interacting with the solar cells that <u>doesn't require a turbine</u>. This explains why you can use solar panels to power up devices such as phones or laptops without having any moving parts. All you need is  a flat set of solar panels.

There is a slight variation of solar power known as "concentrated solar power", aka "concentrated solar thermal", where solar panels are not used. Instead, a vast array of mirrors are set up to aim the suns rays at a very specific narrow area. Think of it like a magnifying glass to focus the suns rays. The place where the narrow beam hits has a very high temperature. This high temperature heats up water to turn to steam, and the process from here is effectively the same as fossil fuels or nuclear energy. So that means turbines are involved with concentrated solar power. I'm assuming your teacher is specifically referring to solar panels when they mentioned choice A.
