on potato chips.

Only
Inhigher
Bold water
In a *Plant
solution
with
potential, water enters the plant via
osmosis and it enters the vacuole,
filling it and making the plant cell
turgid as the cytoplasm pushes
against the wall.
Placed in a solution with a lower
water potential, the water leaves the
vacuole as the cell shrinks and
becomes flaccid.
A red blood cell when it loses water
loses its shape and becomes
crenated.
Temperature.
Concentration.
Surface area.
Difference in
concentrations
Define homeostasis.
Homeostasis is the
maintenance of a constant
internal environment which
is stable and lets an organism
be independent of its external
environment.
Sneezing
Coughing
Vomiting
Blinking
