The process that results in Ms. Milly’s wilting lettuce becoming firm is osmosis. The explanation is below.

OSMOSIS:

  • Osmosis is the process by which water molecules move from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration via a semipermeable membrane.

  • According to this question, Ms. Milly, occasionally sprinkles water on her wilting lettuce and notices that they became firm.

  • The firmness of the lettuce is as a result of the movement of water into the leaf cells due to a process called osmosis.

This has to do with osmosis ( movement of water). The water is a hypotonic solution compared to the lettuce which cells are hypertonic. This causes the water to move in the lettuces cells causing the lettuce to have more structure because there is more turgid pressure.

Ksju [112]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

When the resting potential of the membrane is changed, the membrane becomes either more negative inside or less negative. This small deviation from the resting potential is called graded potential. A graded potential occurs when a stimulus triggers opening or closing of the mechanically gated  or ligand-gated channels present in the plasma membrane.

For example, the presynaptic neuron releases neurotransmitters in response to a nerve impulse. The neurotransmitter binds to receptors present in the plasma membrane of the postsynaptic neuron and triggers the opening of the ion channels to allow the inflow of particular ions to flow. The flow of ions changes the voltage across the membrane. This change in membrane voltage is a postsynaptic potential and is a type of graded potential.

Irina-Kira [14]

Cells are the smallest unit of life. This is true.

Cells are important to the structure and function of living things. This is true.

All organisms are made of multiple cells. This is false, because there are many single celled organisms like bacteria.

Cells come in different shapes and sizes. This is true, as there are cells with a variety of shape and size (round shaped cocci and the elongated and flat bacillus). There are cells from squid's nervous system, called the neurons, that are comparatively very large in size than the vast majority of the other cells.

When you cross two heterozygotes (aa), the offspring will most likely be __________?
Cerrena [4.2K]
When you cross two heterozygotes with the genotype Aa, the offspring will be:   <span>Parents: Aa  x  Aa</span>
<span>F1 generation: AA  Aa  Aa  aa</span>
<span>This means that ½ of the offspring will be heterozygous, ¼ will be homozygous (dominant) and ¼ will be homozygous (recessive).</span>

Which class of molecules can directly cross the cell membrane without the aid of transport proteins? Choose one: A. Ions B. Suga
yulyashka [42]
Oxygen is a small molecule and it's nonpolar, so it easily passes through a cell membrane. Carbon dioxide, the byproduct of cell respiration, is small enough to readily diffuse out of a cell. Small uncharged lipid molecules can pass through the lipid innards of the membrane.
