How many minutes can a fire survive underwater?

An ordinary fire would not survive under water, for a common fire requires fuel, oxygen, and heat. under water there would be no oxygen available, and the heat would be conducted away too quickly. HOWEVER oxy-acetylene gas cutting can be done under water, for we carry our oxygen with us. And bulk magnesium will burn under water (incendary bombs).


What kind of solution would an animal cell best survive in?

An animal cell would best survive in an isotonic solution, where the concentration of solutes outside the cell is the same as inside the cell. This ensures that there is no net movement of water into or out of the cell, maintaining proper cell volume and function.


Why can't a plant that lives under water survive in a forest?

Certain plants (such as underwater ones) can survive being flooded in water. Plants can survive underwater because the sun's rays can penetrate water.


Under what conditions will an animal cell burst?

When surrounded by a hypotonic solution (i.e. a solution that has a water potential higher than that of the cell itself, such as pure water). Water moves into the cell by osmosis. The cell cannot withstand this pressure and will burst, a process known as haemolysis.


If a scientist studies cells under a microscope and they appear shriveled what can the scientist conclude about the cell?

The cell would ether be dead, dying from a bacteria or from starvation, or it is running out of water do to the area it is in. Edit The cell is losing water by osmosis and the cell would need to acquire more water or it would need to be moved to an environment with more water.

Why do all the living things on earth has to absorb water?

All living things need water, since water is what is used to make energy. A cell can't survive without water, since water is a component when a cell's mitochondria makes ATP ( energy that the cell can use ). In other words, it's a major part of chemical reactions, which we as humans ourselves couldn't survive without.
