Answer:

<u>Osmosis</u> of molecule transport would occur when a patient develops pedal edema.

Explanation:

An abnormal buildup of fluids inside the ankles, foot, and lower legs known as pedal edema causes inflammation inside the ankles as well as feet. There are two things that might make the feet swollen. Increased capillary leaking from the venous system can affect fluid to flow into the interstitium, resulting in venous edema. A person having hypertension and developing pedal edema owing to too much salt in the blood does have a blood pressure around 160/90 mm Hg. Water begins to flow down the gradient as a result. As a result, osmotic pressure causes the water within blood vessels to migrate between higher concentrations toward lower amounts all across semipermeable, which causes water to accumulate in extracellular spaces. This process is known as osmosis.

DedPeter [7]

All a human's body parts are fully developed by the end of the second trimester of pregnancy.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The second trimester lasts from 13th Week to 28th Week. At the end of 28th week the child's organs become completely created during the second trimester. The child can likewise begin to hear and swallow. Little hairs become perceptible.

Later on in the subsequent trimester, the child will start to move around. It will create dozing and waking cycles that a pregnant lady will start to take note.

Red blood cells are placed in water that has been distilled so there are no solutes dissolved in the water. Are the red blood ce
Thepotemich [5.8K]


Red blood cells will swell and burst.

The reason behind this is that red blood cells are okay when they are in the plasma (the watery part of the blood) because the solutes in plasma are so  well balanced that plasma is rendered isotonic. An isotonic solution is a type of solution that has the same salt concentration as its surrounding environment and thus the substances around it e.g. cells neither gain nor lose water. In the blood plasma, the red blood cells neither lose nor gain water  and so they remain intact.

However distilled water is hypotonic (has less or no solutes) and therefore osmosis will take place when red blood cell which have a higher solute concentration are placed in it. Water molecules will leave the distilled water and pass into the red blood cells through the semi-permeable membrane of the cells in an attempt to equalize the difference in osmotic pressure on either side of the membrane. In so doing, water will accumulate in the cell which will then swell to capacity and ultimately burst.
