As their contents are used for energy during weight loss, fat cells get smaller in size, but their overall number doesn't change.

<h3>Where Does Fat Go When Weight Is Lost?</h3>
  • Fats are liberated from fat cells and transferred to the mitochondria, the energy-producing organelles in your body's cells, by sustaining a steady calorie deficit. Here, a number of procedures break down the fat to create energy.
  • These same cells may become smaller when you lose fat, yet they continue to exist in roughly the same numbers. Therefore, fewer fat cells, not more, are the main cause of changes in body form.
  • Also implied by this is that even when you lose weight, fat cells are still present and can readily regain their original size if efforts are not made to keep the weight off.

An animal cell with a 30% salt solution is placed in a beaker with a 20% salt
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

the animal cell will burst

Explanation:

If the salt solution in the animal cell is 30%, it means the water is at a 70% concentration. Outside is 20%, so the water is 80%.

Water will enter the cell. Water is at a higher concentration outside the cell (80%) or a lower concentration inside the cell (70%) by the process of osmosis.

Eventually, the animal cell will burst, because it does not have any cell wall to control the swelling of the cell that occurs as water flows in.
