Water went out of the cell because the concentration of water inside the cell was higher than the concentration outside the cell.

The cell membrane used energy to move water into the cell through passive transport.

The cell membrane used energy to move water out of the cell through passive transport.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer is 'Water went into the cell because the concentration of water inside the cell was lower than the concentration outside the cell.'

Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules, across a semipermeable membrane, from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration.

When a cell's cytoplasm has a lower concentration of water than the outer medium of the cell, then water will enter the cell through osmosis. It is mainly due to osmotic imbalance that excessive water molecules get into the cell, causing it to swell and eventually burst.

It is ideally an animal cell that bursts due to osmosis because they lack the cell wall which may prevent it from bursting.

What was the Commercial Revolution?A.a trade war between European countries following the colonization of the New World
B.the decrease in global trade between Europe, the Americas, and Africa
C.an enormous change in the rules of commerce due to the Columbian Exchange
D.the replacement of colonialism with mercantilism

Answers

The correct answer is C.

The Commercial Revolution was the establishment, by Europeans powers, of an economic system based on enhacing foreign trade that reached its maximum during the Columbian Exchange.

During the 14th and 15th centuries European countries were keen on exploring new trade routes in order to compete with the other trading nations. This was part of the mercantilist approach, in which each country aimed to maximize exports and, ultimately, their reserves of gold and silver.

The relationships established were mostly profitable for the mother country in economic terms. Imperalism and colonialism allowed the entrance of large quantities of precious metals in Europe. Moreover, the colonial system allowed the mother country to consume raw materials, minerals and other resources from the colonies only paying for the costs of their obtention or extraction, and to use them to produce manufactures. Subsequently, they traded the final products in the international markets, becoming powerful exporting nations. They even sold those final products back in the colonies.


The answer isn't A) or A trade war between European countries following the colonization of the New World. It is wrong on the test. I don't know the answer but it is wrong Trust me.

One of the advantages of a sole proprietorship is that the owner is not liable for the actions of the business. a. True
b. False

Answers

False.  Since it is a sole proprietorship, it is the owner who is liable for the actions of the business.  Since he owns it, he has to oversee all aspects of it.  Decisions are made by the owner.  He has no partners so responsibility falls on him or her.
