What is the term used to describe the type of solution in which cells will lose water to their environment?
Cells immersed in hypertonic solutions lose water and shrink, or crenate.
How do vegetables lose water when you add salt to them?
Adding salt to vegetables creates a hypertonic environment, drawing water out of the vegetable cells through the process of osmosis. As water moves out of the cells, the vegetables lose their turgidity and become wilted or softened.
In a hypo tonic solution will a cell gain or lose water or no net change?
The cell will not loose or gain water.An isotonic solution means that the amount of solutes outside the cell is similar or equal to the amount of solutes inside the cell. Water is moving by osmosis both in and out of the cell at equal rates; the net movement of water is zero.A cell will lose water in a hypertonic solution (more solute in the surrounding environment) and gain water in a hypotonic solution (more solute in the cellular environment). Whether or not a solution is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic is relative to the environment in the cell.
Why are parasites NOT 'degenerate organisms' as was believed by some biologists in the early 20th century but actually quite advanced organisms?
They have kept the traits that they need in their environment and that same environment has caused them to lose the others. They fit the niche perfectly without any excess traits. Thus saving energy and reproducing more efficiently.
How would a person in a moderate environment probably would lose the greatest amount of water by means of?
In a moderate environment, a person would likely lose the greatest amount of water through sweating during physical activity, especially in hot conditions. Evaporation of sweat from the skin helps to cool the body but can lead to significant water loss if not replenished appropriately through hydration.
Which of the following is a way in which dogs lose water to their environment?
drinking water

Why red worms don't like sun?
Terrestrial oligochaeta annelids (worms like Lumbricus) lose water from their skin, and staying at the sunlight will dehydratate and bring them to death.
What happens when organisms compete for resources?
Some organisms win and some organisms lose.

What is the role environment in Lamarck's explanation?
In Lamarck's explanation of evolution, the environment plays a role in shaping the traits of organisms through the principle of use and disuse. Lamarck proposed that organisms could acquire or lose certain traits based on their interactions with the environment during their lifetime, and these acquired traits could be passed on to their offspring. This theory is known as the inheritance of acquired characteristics.

How does the high heat of vaporization facilitate life?
The high heat of vaporization, the implication being of water, facilitates life by allowing for efficient heat transfer from an organism to the environment during overheating. This is the case for sweat in terrestrial animals, which evaporates from the skin of a warm animal. The high heat of vaporization forces the outermost layers of the epidermis to lose the equivalent amount of thermal energy, cooling the skin.
What would happen if a jellyfish was placed in a very low salt environment what would happen?
It would lose salt into the water.
What problems are likely to occur with the bilby's water loss in its environment?
As bilbies live in semi-arid areas, they rarely need to drink water directly, being able to fulfil their moisture needs with the seeds, fungi, insects and larvae which they eat. However, these other organisms rely on water to grow; if the region becomes too arid, the bilbies lose their source of food.
