The solute potential of a plant cell is -10 bar, and its pressure potential is 3. The plant cell is placed into a solution with

a water potential of -10 bar.
What is the water potential of the cell, and in which way will water move?

The water potential of the cell would be -7 bar and thus, water will move from the cell to the surrounding solution.

Recall that:

Water potential = pressure potential + solute potential

For the plant cell, solute potential = -10, pressure potential = 3

Water potential of the cell = 3-10

                                          = -7 bar

The water potential of the cell is -7 bar while that of the surrounding solution is -10 bar. Thus, the cell has a higher water potential than the surrounding solution.

Recall that water usually moves from the region of high to the region of low water potential. Therefore, water will move from the cell to the surrounding solution.

Beyond their role in energy transfer, what other benefit do microorganisms that act as producers provide for ecosystems?
insens350 [35]

Answer:

The microorganisms present metabolic wastes that serve as the primary source of food for other living things.

Bacteria that live free in the soil or in symbiosis with plants are essential to fix nitrogen, both nitrates and ammonia. These bacteria take nitrogen directly from the air, originating compounds that can be incorporated into the composition of the soil or living beings.

This property is restricted only to prokaryotes and is widely distributed among different groups of bacteria and some archaeobacteria. It is a process that consumes a lot of energy that occurs with the mediation of the enzyme nitrogenase, which the rest of the living organisms that cannot do or comply with this process is because they lack said enzyme.

Dunaliella is a genus of microscopic algae of the Chlorophyceae class and of the order Volvocales. All are unicellular, although with very varied morphologies.

Morphologically, its main characteristic is that they lack a rigid polysaccharide cell wall.

The ecology of this genus of green algae is characterized by its high tolerance to salinity, with eukaryotic organisms having greater tolerance to salt. They are euryhaline, adapted to salt concentrations from 50 mM NaCl to almost 5.5 M NaCl.

Explanation:

By nitrogen fixation is meant the combination of molecular nitrogen or dinitrogen with oxygen or hydrogen to give oxides or ammonia that can be incorporated into the biosphere. Molecular nitrogen, which is the majority component of the atmosphere, is inert and not directly usable by most living things. Nitrogen fixation can occur abiotic (without the intervention of living beings) or by the action of microorganisms (biological nitrogen fixation). Fixation in general involves the incorporation into the biosphere of a significant amount of nitrogen, which globally can reach about 250 million tons per year, of which 150 correspond to biological fixation.

Compare the potiential energy stored in lipids proteins and carbohydrates​
yarga [219]

Answer:

The amount of lipids stored as an energy reserve far exceeds the energy stored as glycogen since the human body is simply not capable of storing as much glycogen compared to lipids. Lipids yield 9 kcal of energy per gram while carbohydrates and proteins yield only 4 kcal of energy per gram.

13. Which layer would have the oldest fossils, a layer deep underground or a layer close to
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

I believe a layer deep underground would have older things, because the ground could erode over time causing the fossil to sink into the ground.
