Answer:

The correct answer is c. an efficient system for conducting water and minerals.

Explanation:

Non-vascular plants lack the internal tubes or vessels that carry water and minerals or nutrients through the entire plant. Most of them are found in humid or submerged places, since this type of environment allows them to absorb water through the surface of their tissues. Non-vascular plants do not grow very tall due to the lack of structures normally associated with vascular plants. Non-vascular plants lack specialized vascular tissue (xylem and phloem) for conduction and internal support of water and food. Metabolites and other nutrients are transferred between and within cells by osmosis, diffusion, and cytoplasmic flow.

How does scientific names impact classification
kicyunya [14]
      That is an oddly phrased question.  The scientific names we use now cam from the system of classification that spawned the way we still classify organisms today, started by Carolus Linnaeus. So the better question might be, how did classification impact scientific names?
      Of course, in all of the charges that go on in taxonomy, the answer o your question might be that, as the systems and ranks became more complicated, the additions had been made farther up the hierarchy, as to not affect the genus and species levels so much, as those levels are what we use for scientific names.

When a red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, which will occur?
Sergeu [11.5K]
If a red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the cell would shrink.

Hypertonic solution means that the solution has a lower water potential than the other side (which is the cell's cytoplasm in this case), and by that, water molecules would have a tendency to flow from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential. This movement of water molecules is called osmosis. But note that a semi-permeable membrane (a membrane which can decide what substances can go in and out, the cell membrane is an example) has to be present in osmosis, or else the movement may be regarded as diffusion.

As the water molecules flowed away from the red blood cell cytoplasm, the cell loss so much water that the membrane has nothing much to hold and thus the cell shrinks.
