It is best to mix the fertilizer with the soil so it will be distributed evenly. Placing fertilizer near the root directly is dangerous as the fertilizer concentration will be too high. If the concentration of fertilizer too high, the osmotic pressure or tonicity of the solution will be high. It will attract water of nearby cell and make it shrink. The plant cell will continuously lose water, shrink and then shrivel because of this.

A bacteria in a hypotonic solution will tend to:
Reptile [31]

Answer:

C) Stay the same

Explanation:

Bacteria have rigid cell walls around their cell membrane. When placed in a hypotonic solution, water enters into the bacterial cell by the process of endosmosis. However, the rigid cell wall resists the increase in the volume of the cytoplasm.

The entry of water into the bacterial cell results in the build-up of turgor pressure inside the cell. Build up enough pressure inside the cell prevents the entry of water into the cell. So, when placed in a hypotonic solution, bacterial cells stay the same due to the presence of rigid cell walls.
