1. What is striation and how does it help muscle cells function?

Highly structured tissues (Fig . 1) that convert chemical energy to physical work are striated muscles. In order to sustain respiration, locomotion, and posture (skeletal muscle) and to pump blood throughout the body (cardiac muscle), the primary function of striated muscles is to produce force and contract.

Explanation:

passive transport is a movement of biochemicals and other atomic or molecular substances across cell membranes without need of energy input. unlike active transport, it does not require an input of cellular energy because it is instead driven by the tendency of the system to grow in entropy.

so, according to what that says, i believe it's hypertonic and hypotonic.

good luck!
