A solution that is equal in solute concentration to that of the cytoplasm of a cell and causes a cell to neither lose nor gain water by osmosis is a(n)

isotonic solution

Explanation:

The cell membrane is semi-permeable, so it allows to pass through certain solutes. By a process called osmosis, the water molecules move from a compartment of lower concentration of solutes to a compartment with higher concentration.

Therefore, if the concentration of solutes in the outside is higher than the concentration in the cytoplasm (hypertonic solution), the water molecules will move from the interior to the exterior. Conversely, if the cytoplasm is more concentrated than the outside (hypotonic solution), the water molecules will move from the exterior to the interior. If the cytoplasm has the same solute concentration as the outside, the solution of the outside is called isotonic, and no water net flux will be produced.

answer'(basidium)the spore--bearing structure of a basidiomycete is called a basidiocarp; ///

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
