Answer:

Hypertonic

Explanation:

Hypertonic solutions have less water ( and more solute such as salt or sugar ) than a cell. Seawater is hypertonic. If you place an animal or a plant cell in a hypertonic solution, the cell shrinks, because it loses water ( water moves from a higher concentration inside the cell to a lower concentration outside ).

Where is the moon when you are in a location experiencing a low tide?

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The gravity of the sun and moon pull on the water of the oceans of the earth hence causing a bulge of these waters at the point on earth where the moon is above. The region where the moon is above, and the opposite side on the earth, will therefore experience high tides while the places at right angles (on the surface of the earth in relation to the moon position) will experience low tides.
