Transcribed Image Text:Question 47
Plant cells placed in a hypotonic environment
will remain flaccid, due to an ineffective central vacuole.
will shrivel, due to the loss of water from the large central vacuole.
will lyse without special adaptations to combat water-concentration fluctuations.
will remain turgid, due to the elastic cell wall.

- During a hurricane, salt water invades fresh wate marshes ausing many of the plants to die and utimately the loss of soil. The plants are killed because the salt-water solution is ____ to the planets drawing water from the plant cells.a). hypertonicb). isotonicc). mestonicd). hypotonicarrow_forwardPlant growth is achieved through both cell division and cell elongation. Cell elongation… I. Occurs in the direction parallel to the youngest microfibrils of the cell wall II. Is due to turgor pressure as water moves primarily into the vacuole III. Is arrested when the secondary cell wall forms outside of the primary cell wallarrow_forwardThe rigidity of a plant as compared to an animal is owed to a plant cell's: A Cytoskeleton Cell wall c) Chloroplast Cell membranearrow_forward
- The plant wall allows for plant cells to swell under large internal pressure, what membrane lined passage allows for rapid movement of polar molecules between cells?arrow_forwardExplain what would happen if a plant cell was placed in a hypotonic environment and why (be sure to include solute concentrations, water movement and turgor pressure in your explanation)?arrow_forwardWhat would enhance water uptake by a plant cell?(A) decreasing the Ψ of the surrounding solution(B) positive pressure on the surrounding solution(C) the loss of solutes from the cell(D) increasing the Ψ of the cytoplasmarrow_forward
- Consider a plant that is exposed to extreme cold temperatures. Do the cells of this plant manipulate the composition of their membranes in response to this environmental stress?If not, explain why the plant does not manipulate membrane composition in response to this stress.If so, explain the specific changes that these cells would carry out in response to this environmental stress.arrow_forwardWhich of the following represent the process of ACCLIMATION (select all that apply)? Group of answer choices A plant transplanted to a warmer from a cooler climate develops thicker, waxier coatings on its leaves. Carnivorous species have sharp teeth that allow them to tear flesh and subdue prey. Native Aleutians have barrel-shaped bodies with shorter arms and legs relative to their height to reduce heat loss. Global temperature increases in response to increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels. Humans native to temperate latitudes tan in the summer months when exposure to the sun is greatest.arrow_forwardGuard cells in plant leaves protect the cork cambium.a. Trueb. Falsearrow_forward
- Many fruits can be preserved by candying. The fruit isimmersed in a highly concentrated sugar solution, and thenthe sugar is allowed to crystallize. How does the sugarpreserve the fruit? (Osmosis is a very common phenomenon with fruits)arrow_forwardThere are two types of osmotically active solutes in plants.What are compatible solutes and Where are they typically located? Where do ions from inorganic salts accumulate?arrow_forwardA new plant is discovered in the desert. Which measurement, taken on a hot day and compared to a cold day, would best help you to determine if it were a C4 or CAM plant?arrow_forward
