The problem which led to the bursting of the cell is osmosis. This is specifically due to endosmosis which occurs because the cell failed to maintain its internal environment and thus expands and bursts.

Potassium ions are essential for cellular metabolism. Potassium ions are necessary for regulation of membrane potential and polarization and depolarization of the cell membrane.  If a cell has too much potassium ions, the inside of the cell becomes hypertonic, with respect to its surrounding. This destabilizes the internal environment and leads to water entering the cell(endosmosis). As endosmosis occurs the cell starts to expand due to excessive water. This leads to expansion and tears and cracks in the cell. The further expansion of the cell leads to the bursting of the cell or lysis of the cell.

DNA sequences can act as "tape measures of evolution". Some highly conserved regions of the human genome (similar to comparable
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Explanation:

The DNA contains many regulatory sequences that are very important, even though they do not code for proteins.

For example, the expression of every gene is regulated by a region called the Promoter. The promoter sequence, located close by the coding region of the gene, usually binds the RNA polymerase (the enzyme that transcribes genes into mRNA) as well as other proteins necessary for transcription,

The promoter sequence, thus, does not itself code for proteins, but is essential for transcription and must be highly conserved so that the RNA polymerase can find it.

Detail the relationship between diploid cells and homologous chromosomes
Artemon [7]

Answer:

A diploid cell is a cell that contains two complete sets of chromosomes. This is double the haploid chromosome number. Each pair of chromosomes in a diploid cell is considered to be a homologous chromosome set. A homologous chromosome pair consists of one chromosome donated from the mother and one from the father.

based on the number of ATP generated during the electron transport chain for every one glucose molecule, how many atp would be g
OleMash [197]

Answer:

If 10 glucose molecules are broken down, 320 ATP molecules will be generated during the electron transport chain.

Explanation:

In the electron transport chain, high energy electrons travel across a series of proteins embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane, releasing energy in the process.Hydrogen is pumped from the matrix into the intermembrane space, therefore an hydrogen ion gradient is formed across the inner membrane.These proton are then pumped back into the mitochondrial membrane where the synthesis of ATP from ATP synthase takes place.

In the electron transport chain, a total of 32 ATPs are generated per glucose molecule.

so if 10 glucose molecules are broken down:

1 glucose ⇒ 32 ATPs

10 glucose ⇒ 10*32

                       320 ATP molecules
