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.

What are the reactants for oxidation reaction?
Alexxx [7]

The reactant that brings about the oxidation is called the oxidising agent, and that reagent is itself reduced by the reducing agent.

Oxidation occurs when a reactant loses electrons during the reaction. Reduction occurs when a reactant gains electrons during the reaction. This often occurs when metals are reacted with acid.

Oxidation is loss of electrons (OIL RIG). Therefore, an oxidising agent takes electrons from that other substance. Therefore, an oxidising agent must gain electrons.

Oxidation happens when an atom loses one or more electrons during a chemical reaction, meaning that its oxidation number increases. This is because the atom loses the negative charge of the electron, which is similar to gaining a positive charge, increasing the oxidation number.

examine the diagram below, explain the path a newly formed polypeptide leaving a ribosome may take as it is modified or packaged
iren [92.7K]

After translation of the polypeptide in the ribosome, the polypeptide enters the cisternae of the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Here, the folding of the polypeptide begins with the aid of chaperons proteins. At the end of the RER, vesicles with the completely folded protein bud off and enters the Golgi apparatus where the proteins are transported to its destination.
