If the potato slice becomes soft and limp after soaking for one hour in the solution, the solution is hypertonic.
<h3>What is a hypertonic solution?</h3>
In biology, a hypertonic solution is a solution with more solute concentration than it is found in the sap of any other cell placed in it.
Such solutions have lower water potential than the cells placed in them. Thus, water will readily move by osmosis from the sap of the cells into the solution.
Cells that are placed in hypertonic solutions, therefore, usually end up becoming flaccid as a result of water loss.
So, if after soaking for one hour in a solution whose concentration is not known, a slice of potato becomes soft and limp, it means the solution is hypertonic.

the suspect’s blood or tissue under fingernails. If the victim resisted the attack and tried to fight back, they probably got skin cells of the suspect under fingernails. the others are incorrect since there wouldn’t be gunpowder on the victim, suspect’s fingerprints on the victim is not valid evidence, and the victim’s fingerprints are obviously on themselves.
Answer:
Bacterial flagella is the external structure that is thin, long and filamentous. It is attached to the cell wall of the bacteria which helps in the locomotion of the bacteria. It has three parts a filament, hook and basal body. The basal body is incorporated in the cell membrane.
A flagellum is made up of a protein called flagellin. It is a rigid protein and helps in making the hollow core of the filament by assembling together to form a structure which is cylindrical in shape.
The organization of flagella on bacterial cells is helpful in the identification of bacterial species. Mostly 4 type of organization of flagella is present on bacterial cell that are monotrichous, amphitrichous, lophoyrichous and perithrichous.
In monotrichious bacteria, only one flagella is present on one side, in amphitrichous both side of the cell have an equal amount of flagella. Lophotrichous bacteria have a group of flagella at one side of the cell and amphitrichous bacteria have many flagella distributed equally on its cell.
