A group of students investigated how the salt content of water affects a plant that lives in an aquatic ecosystem. On one slide, the students placed a piece of a leaf of
an aquatic plant and then added a drop of tap water. On a second slide, they placed
a piece of the same leaf and then added a drop of 10% salt solution. The students
observed both leaf pieces with a microscope. They repeated the process three times.
The table below summarizes their findings.

Which statement is the BEST explanation for these findings?
a The 10% salt solution was hypertonic; the tap water was isotonic.
b The 10% salt solution was hypotonic; the tap water was hypertonic.
The 10% salt solution was isotonic; the tap water was hypertonic.
O The 10% salt solution was isotonic; the tap water was hypotonic.

a fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis.[1] the age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.[2] fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include petroleum, coal, and natural gas.[3] other commonly used derivatives include kerosene and propane. fossil fuels range from volatile materials with low carbon to hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquids like petroleum, to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields either alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates.

the theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over millions of years was first introduced by andreas libavius "in his 1597 alchemia [alchymia]" and later by mikhail lomonosov "as early as 1757 and certainly by 1763".[4] the first use of the term "fossil fuel" was by the german chemist caspar neumann, in english translation in 1759.[5]

in 2017 the world's primary energy sources consisted of petroleum (34%), coal (28%), natural gas (23%), amounting to an 85% share for fossil fuels in primary energy consumption in the world.[6] non-fossil sources in 2006 included nuclear (8.5%), hydroelectric (6.3%), and others (geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, wood, waste) amounting to 0.9%.[7] world energy consumption was growing at about 2.3% per year. in 2015 about 18% of worldwide consumption was from renewable sources.[8]
