Answer:

The correct answer would be the root hairs.

The root hairs are the absorbent hairs present on the root of the plant.

They are similar to microvilli in our small intestine.

They are small in size and thus, increase the surface area of the roots which helps in absorption of water and minerals.

Water is usually absorbed by the process of osmosis at the site of root hairs.

Root hair cells are thin, long extensions of the root which help faster absorption of water and minerals. They work in a similar way to microvilli in animals (if that helps you remember them!)

Using the terms hypertonic and hypotonic, describe the osmotic relationships of the solution within the dialysis bag versus the
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Explanation:

By osmosis, due to the difference in osmotic pressure on either side of the membrane, the water passes through the membrane, which means that the water moves from high osmotic pressure / concentration regions to low pressure / concentration regions to a stable state. Thus, water moves from hypotonic regions (low solute concentration) to hypertonic regions (high solute concentration).

How are blood and variations of traits related?
Verdich [7]
Hypertension is a complex trait with multiple environmental and genetic contributors. Linkage studies of rare Mendelian disorders of hypertension and hypotension have produced the most notable progress toward understanding the heritable basis of blood pressure. Association studies to identify common variants have been limited in the past by small sample sizes and most findings lack replication.<span>
