The blood cells will lyse (burst) because the water is hypotonic to the cells.

The predicted consequence is that drinking only this kind of water could definitely cause death, because it is HYPOTONIC(less solute) and cell is HYPERTONIC(more solute) so their fore the water goes toward solute because of osmosis and it would make the cells expand and finally explode and eventually it will cause death.

<span>The thymus.The thymus plays an important role in the development of T-lymphocytes which is an important type of white blood cell. It reaches maximum development at puberty and then the thymus begins to get atrophied (the shrinking of the thymus with age) and then the thymic stroma is replaced by fat tissue.

What happens to an enzyme's structure as it exceeds the typical human body temperatur?
valentinak56 [21]

Answer;

The enzyme structure begins to break down intermolecular bonds are broken

enzyme molecules gain kinetic energy.


Explanation;

Enzymes are proteins that play an important function in the body of catalyzing reactions in the body.

Enzymes work best at optimum temperature; low temperature lower than optimum temperatures deactivates them and higher temperature denatures them.

The shape of an enzyme depends on its temperature; when they get too warm they get loose, and at very low temperatures they get too tight. At optimum temperature or at the right temperature then they are just at the right shape and the chemical reactions they catalyze will be at optimal rate.
