Answer:A) The ocean is hypertonic to the erythrocytes.
Explanation:cells shrink when placed in an hypertonic solution.
This shrinkage occurs does to the movement of water out of the cell and through the cell membrane.this phenomenon is called plasmolysis.
The movement of water out of this cell occurs through osmosis.osmosis is the movement of water from a region of high concentration of solute to a region of low concentration of solute, through a semi-permeable membrane.
In this case,sea water has a higher concentration of solute (hypertonic) and the blood cells has a lower concentration(hypotonic) .the cell membrane serves as the semi-permeable membrane and and a result water moves out of the cell
Boron has a smaller radius and the protons in carbon exert a greater pull
The germ theory of disease states that many diseases are caused by microorganisms.
There are many criteria that are used to define living things. living things reproduce, grow, and develop. they respond to stimuli, use materials andenergy, and evolve and adapt over time to their environment. another criteria is all living things are made of cells.
