      Isotonic

    • C.

      Hypertonic

    Correct Answer
    C. Hypertonic
    Explanation
    This solution is classified as hypertonic because it has a higher solute concentration compared to the surrounding environment. In a hypertonic solution, water molecules tend to move out of the solution and into the surrounding environment in order to balance the concentration gradient. This causes cells or organisms in the hypertonic solution to shrink or shrivel due to the loss of water.

      Hypotonic

    • B.

      Isotonic

    • C.

      Hypertonic

    Correct Answer
    A. Hypotonic
    Explanation
    A hypotonic solution is one where the concentration of solutes outside the cell is lower than the concentration inside the cell. In this type of solution, water moves into the cell, causing it to swell and potentially burst. Therefore, the correct answer is hypotonic.

    Name 1 structure that plants have that animals don't.

    • A.

      Cell Wall

    • B.

      Mitochondria

    • C.

      Nucleus

    Correct Answer
    A. Cell Wall
    Explanation
    Plants have a cell wall, which is a rigid structure made of cellulose that surrounds the cell membrane. This cell wall provides support and protection to plant cells, helping them maintain their shape and withstand external pressures. Animals, on the other hand, do not have a cell wall. Instead, they have a flexible cell membrane that allows for movement and interaction with their environment. Therefore, the presence of a cell wall is a unique structural feature of plants that distinguishes them from animals.

      Growing plants in rural areas

    • B.

      Growing plants in buildings in cities

    • C.

      When plants grow up

    Correct Answer
    B. Growing plants in buildings in cities
    Explanation
    Vertical farming refers to the practice of cultivating plants in vertically stacked layers or structures, typically indoors or in urban areas. This method allows for the efficient use of space by utilizing vertical space rather than traditional horizontal farming methods. By growing plants in buildings in cities, vertical farming aims to address the challenges of limited land availability, urbanization, and the increasing demand for food production. It also offers advantages such as controlled environments, year-round production, reduced water usage, and the potential for sustainable and local food production.

    When a cell turns into a brain cell, this is called...

    • A.

      Differentiation

    • B.

      Occupation

    • C.

      Separation

    Correct Answer
    A. Differentiation
    Explanation
    When a cell undergoes the process of differentiation, it transforms into a specialized cell type, such as a brain cell. This process involves the activation or repression of specific genes, leading to the development of distinct cellular characteristics and functions. Differentiation is a crucial step in the formation of complex organisms, as it allows cells to acquire specific roles and contribute to the functioning of different tissues and organs. Occupation and separation are unrelated terms and do not accurately describe the process of a cell turning into a brain cell.

    • A.

      Organ

    • B.

      Organelle

    • C.

      Tissue

    Correct Answer
    A. Organ
    Explanation
    An organ is a group of specialized tissues that work together for the same job. Tissues are made up of similar cells that perform a specific function, but organs are composed of different types of tissues that collaborate to carry out a specific task or function in the body. Organelles, on the other hand, are structures found within cells that perform specific functions necessary for the cell's survival. Therefore, the correct answer is organ.
