The data in the graph are the result of a paramecium being placed in a hypertonic salt solution. Based on the data in the graph, which would most likely happen if the paramecium were placed in distilled water?

The contraction would increase.

Explanation:

The contraction would increase if the paramecium were placed in distilled water because of the change in the surrounding environment. The contractile vacuole will expel water less frequently because there is higher concentration of water outside the cell whereas the solute diffuses due to lower concentration of salt in the solution. So due to change of environment from saline solution to distill water solution, the contraction increases in the paramecium.

the transfer of energy between two molecules spaced just nanometers apart plays a key role in many technologies, including photovoltaics, quantum information systems, lighting, and sensors, as well as in biophysics to measure nanometer distances and in photosynthesis. but an open question in this area is what effect, if any, the surrounding photonic environment has on this nanoscale energy transfer. by designing and performing a carefully controlled experiment to answer this question, scientists have settled the debate and found clues to improving the efficiency of many of the technologies that rely on this process.

explanation:

unicellular organisms, like bacteria, are able to perform all life functions within one single cell. multicellular organisms need many different types of cells to carry out the same life processes. each of these special types of cells has a different structure that it perform a specific function.
