One function of the central vacuole in plant cells is facilitating cell growth: the central vacuole absorbs water and increases in size, expanding the volume and size of the plant cell while doing so. animal cells, however, do not grow by this method. what is an essential difference between animal and plant cells that could explain how a plant cell can withstand this expansion of the central vacuole?

Iguanas need to live in a habitat that is very warm, so the pet store warms their enclosures with "basking lights" which act as an artificial sun. describe how the three methods of thermal energy transfer may take place within the iguana's enclosure.

What evidence could be used to convince policy makers to change a shipping lane from going through a whale breeding ground? information on the number of all whale species currently alive information on the number of all whales hit by boats in the given area information on the number of whale deaths in the world's oceans information on the number of whale offspring born every year. (a) scientists could collect and combine data on fish populations all around the world to show that their populations are declining. (b) scientists collect and combine data on fish populations all around the world to show that their populations are increasing. (c) scientists work together and use past data to show that fish populations are becoming locally extinct in some areas. (d) scientists work together and use past data to show that some fish populations are adapting to environmental changes.
