When an environment is hypotonic, the cell has more solute, so solvent moves from outside the cell to inside, causing the cell to swell.

WHAT IS TONICITY:

  • Tonicity refers to the ability of a solution to cause the inflow or outflow of water in a cell. Tonicity of a solution can either be: hypotonic, hypertonic or isotonic.

  • Hypotonic: This is when a solution has less concentration of solute or more concentration of water than its surroundings.

  • Hypertonic: This is when a solution has more concentration of solute or less concentration of water than its surroundings.

  • Isotonic: This is when the solute concentration between a solution and a cell is balanced or equal.

Based on osmosis, which is the movement of water from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane, water will move from a hypotonic environment into a cell containing more solute.

Therefore, When an environment is hypotonic, the cell has more solute, so solvent moves from outside the cell to inside, causing the cell to swell.

What are the two ways that organisms on the bottom of deep sea food chains acquire energy? a. photosynthesis and chemosynthesis
aliina [53]

The correct answer is (B)  chemosynthesis and marine snow  are the two ways that organisms on the bottom of  deep sea food chains acquire energy.

What is the meaning of chemosynthesis and marine show?

Chemosynthesis is the utilization of energy supplied by inorganic chemical processes to make food in bacteria and other organisms. To generate a sugar, all chemosynthetic organisms require energy provided by chemical processes, although various species employ different methods.

Marine snow is a shower of biological particles that falls from the upper ocean to the deep sea.  Marine snow refers to biological material that descends from higher in the water column. Some flakes fall for several weeks before reaching the ocean floor.
