Question 30 The plasma membrane is selectively permeable. What does selectively permeable mean? Question 30 Selectively permeable means that some materials can pass through while others can not. Question 31 Why is it a bad idea for a person lost at sea to drink the sea water if they are thirsty? (Describe the environment created in the body and what would happen to the persons cells.) Question 31 The sea water has a higher concentration of solutes than the body cells so you create a hypertonic environment. Water would leave the cells and the cells would shrink. Drinking the sea water would make you MORE dehydrated. Question 32 Why is a pyramid a good representation of the energy structure in an ecosystem?

Question 34 A) The independent variable is the thing that you manipulate- color of light. B) the dependant variable is the thing that you measure- amount of oxygen produced C) The control group is the group that does not have the variable- the plant in the dark.
