Compounds contain different elements in a fixed ratio […]

What are the two main functions of cell wall? The main function of the cell wall is to provide structural strength and support, and also provide a semi-permeable surface for molecules to pass in and out of the cell. Where are cell walls found? A cell wall is a fairly rigid layer surrounding a cell […]

What happens when a cell with 1% salt gets put into a 10% salt solution? It is a type of passive transport. A cell has a 1% salt concentration. It is placed into a solution containing a 10% salt concentration. Water will move out of the cell, causing it to shrink. What are examples of […]
