It absorbs too much water through osmosis. The cell wall pressure acts to compensate the osmotic pressure, not allowing excessive increase of the cellular volume and the cell lysis.
Metals of medium reactivity can react well with acids, water, and oxygen. They tend to corrode or rust when exposed to oxygen in the atmosphere, react with acids to produce hydrogen gas, and can displace less reactive metals from their compounds in aqueous solutions.
It is acidic because bases rarely react with metals.
When wood is placed in mercury, nothing significant will happen as mercury is a relatively inert metal and will not react with the wood. The wood will simply float on the surface of the mercury due to the density difference between the two materials.
Water and carbon dioxide react in the chloroplasts of plant cells during the process of photosynthesis. In this process, chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which provides the energy needed to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen. The overall reaction occurs primarily in the thylakoid membranes and the stroma of the chloroplasts. This intricate process is essential for plant growth and energy production.
Blue litmus does not change when placed in a basic solution.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water - and a hypotonic solution means it expands. a plant cell sap has a lower water potential causing the water to enter the cell - it does not fight osmosis, it works with it.
Plants placed near mirrors may grow towards the light reflected by the mirror, as they are attracted to light for photosynthesis. However, too much light or heat from the reflection can harm the plant if not properly managed.
Metals of medium reactivity can react well with acids, water, and oxygen. They tend to corrode or rust when exposed to oxygen in the atmosphere, react with acids to produce hydrogen gas, and can displace less reactive metals from their compounds in aqueous solutions.
According to the activity series, nickel will react with metals that are placed below it in the series. This means that nickel will react with metals such as silver, copper, and gold but not with metals placed above it like hydrogen, magnesium, or zinc.
pure sodium reacts to just about everything... it even explodes when placed in water
They won't react at all, because fish need to be placed in room temperture water every time you change their water.
Carrot indicator turns yellow in an acidic medium. This change in color is due to the presence of anthocyanins that react with the acidic solution.
No. A shoplifting alarm is not a metal detector. The sensor frames do not react to metal. They react to a special tag placed on or inside the product or package.
He thinks that the snake will die or that will have magic powers
I have absolutely no clue. Sorry
A solution which has a lower osmotic concentration (high water potential) than another solution is said to be hypotonic. If two solutions are of equal concentration they are isotonic.A plant cell behaves differently from an animal cell when placed in a hypotonic solution. Since the cell sap has a lower water potential than that of the solution outside the living cell, water enters the cell by osmosis (endosmosis). Note, that the partially permeable membrane here is the plasma membrane and not the cellulose cell wall. The cellulose cell wall is permeable and allows most dissolved substances to pass through.As water enters the cell the vacuole increases in size and pushes the cell contents against the cellulose wall. The plant cell does not burst because the cell wall is strong and relatively inelastic. It prevents over expansion of the cell by exerting an opposing pressure preventing the entry of more water. When the cell is in this state, it becomes rigid or turgid. This rigidity of the cell with water is called turgor. The pressure exerted by the water on the cell wall is the turgor pressure.On the other hand an animal cell will swell and may burst in a hypotonic solution.
When there is an increase in an object or medium's temperature, its particles have increase kinetic energy. Temperature is the measure of the average amount of kinetic energy within an object or medium.
