There are many factors that affect plant growth, including the salts and minerals in their water supply. A farmer wants to find the right concentration of mineral solution to use with his sunflower crop. He places five sunflowers in a beaker of 1 M mineral solution, five sunflowers in a beaker of 0.5 M mineral solution, and five sunflowers in a beaker of 0.2 M mineral solution. a) Calculate the solute potential of a 0.5 M mineral solution at room temperature (25⁰C). A sample sunflower has a solute potential of -28 bars within its cells. (Note: i =ionization constant = 1.0) Determine the direction water will flow between the sunflower and its environment.

b) Once equilibrium is reached between sunflower and the environment, calculate the turgor pressure inside the plant cell.

Hunting in the darksome fish rely on senses beyond sight. in the darkness of the marianas trench, a fish called the rattail has an extremely sensitive sense of smell. the fish uses scent, rather than sight, to steer toward food. once it's near food, the rattail uses a special organ on the bottom of its chin to guide itself by feel.marine snowone staple of the deep sea diet is "marine snow," flakes of organic, edible substances that sink down from the upper ocean. animals at the ocean's bottom find sustenance in everything from the bodies of dead creatures to fecal matter. marine snow is diverse enough to support numerous species. for instance, several species of snails and worms feed exclusively on deceased whales.microorganismsthe deep sea is an intricate ecosystem, and even the ocean floor itself plays a part. hydrothermal vents are cracks in the sea floor where erupting magma mixes with ocean water to produce plumes of hot, sulfur-rich chemicals. some microbes can use these chemicals for energy, sustaining their existence and that of the animals who depend on their roles in the deep sea food chain.

Your answer is a because that is true

That is false even though water expands when frozen nothing changes at all
