FOCUS ON EVOLUTION

Paramecium and other unicellular eukaryotes that live in hypotonic environments have cell membranes that limit water uptake, while those living in isotonic environments have membranes that are more permeable to water. Describe what water regulation adaptations might have evolved in unicellular eukaryotes in hypertonic habitats such as the Great Salt Lake and in habitats with changing salt concentration.

One advantage of being multicellular is that the organism can increase insize. Unicellular organisms cannot achieve this large size. What limitsunicellular growth? How do multicellular animals solve this problem?   pelase do not copy from google
Passive transport * Is when an ion flows down a gradient to enter or exit a cell Does not require energy Is facilitated by ATP Can use ion channels If a cell is hypotonic * it could shrivel up it is at equilibrium it could swell and burst all of the above What does hypertonic mean? *
