Answer:
The animal cell will shrink due to loss of water to the external solution
Explanation:
An isotonic solution is that solution which has equal concentration with its external environment. Hence, no net movement of water occurs in an isotonic solution since there is no concentration gradient. Therefore, if an animal cell is placed in an isotonic solution at first, no net movement of water occurs because the intracellular and extracellular concentrations are at equilibrium.
However, if more solutes are added to the solution, it makes the solution HYPERTONIC to the cell i.e greater in concentration. This creates an osmotic gradient and causes water to move out of the animal cell into the solution in accordance to osmotic principles (movement of water from a low concentration of solute to high concentration of solute). This causes the animal cell to likely SHRINK.
Answer:
Frogs do have gills as well as fully developed lungs which help them to survive both on land and underwater. On the other hand, tadpoles have chubby bodies, long tails and they do not look like a frog eventually in which they turn into. Their lungs take time to develop but once developed they too can live on land.

7. Ribosomes
Explanation:
This question is describing the organelles found in a cell. An organelle is a structure that performs a specific FUNCTION (1) in a cell. There are different kinds of organelles with each possessing its own peculiar function. Some of them are as follows:
- NUCLEUS, which is regarded as the brain of a cell because it directs or controls a cell's activities just like the brain of an organism does.
- MITOCHONDRIA is an organelle that produces the energy storing compound called ATP (adenosine triphosphate), hence, it is called power house of the cell.
- CHLOROPLAST is an organelle found in plant cells that functions in the conversion of light energy (from sun) into GLUCOSE (chemical energy) in a process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS.
- RIBOSOMES is an organelle found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells that serves as the site of PROTEIN production in a cell.
