The plasma membrane regulates the entry and exit of the cell. Many molecules cross the cell membrane by diffusion and osmosis.

The fundamental structure of the membrane is phospho lipid bilayer and it forms a stable barrier between two aqueous compartments.

Which sentence best describes a cell that is isotonic for a substance?
ZanzabumX [31]
The answer would be C) The solute concentration is equal on both sides of the cell membrane.
This is correct because in an isotonic solution, they would have the exact salt concentration as the blood surrounding the cell. There won't be an effect on the surrounding cells. So, the cells won't gain or loose any water. 
Hope this helps!:)

Which describes the moth population after the industrial Revolution?
hjlf
I am not 100% sure but I believe that because of increased manufacturing, the air got very polluted and this made many trees darker, like birch. So moths are usually lighter in color so many couldn’t really hide among trees and they were eaten. After some time, many moths mutated and also became darker to blend in when they were on trees to prevent being eaten by predators. In conclusion, the population decreased.
