Answer:

D

Explanation:

The water molecules in the cell will want to move out of the cell into the pond in attempt to lower the salt concentration which will cause the cells to shrivel up with the loss of water. This is also called becoming hypertonic.

A plant cell placed in a solution with a lower (more negative) water potential will _____.
bagirrra123 [75]
The answer to this question would be: absorbing water.

A lower water potential solution will induce osmosis to plant cells. In this case, the water will move to the plant cells since solution water potential nearby cells are lower. The plant will continue to accept water until the cells bloated, causing the pressure inside cells increases until the water pressure will gradually stop the osmosis. The plant cell rarely burst as it has cellulose wall, unlike animal cells.

If glycogen stores are full and the body's immediate need for energy is met, what happens to the remaining glucose
lisabon 2012 [21]

The remaining glucose is converted to fat and stored into the body as an energy source.

Glucose is a sugar molecule which can be converted into two three-carbon pyruvate molecules through the process of glycolysis and then into acetyl CoA. So, when the body requires immediate energy, acetyl CoA enters the Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs cycle) and ATP is formed. But, when glucose intake exceeds your body's energy needs, acetyl CoA begins the process of fatty acid synthesis (FFA). FFAs become triglycerides that are stored in the fat tissues of the body which can be broken down later to give the energy the body needs.
