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.

- Start with the P generation with the following genotypes (AA x aa). Based on classical Mendelian inheritance, how will a cross
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is Although the F1 generation will all show the dominant trait, the offspring  will all be heterozygous and increase chances of future variation.</em>

Explanation:

The cross for the offsrings that will be produced by F1 generation is shown below:

         a          a

A      Aa       Aa

A      Aa        Aa

As we can see that all the offsprings in the F1 generation will have heterozygous genes but only the dominant trait will be seen in the phenotype of the F1 generation.

A cross between the F1 generation will give the following results:

         A          a

A      AA      Aa

a       Aa      aa

This cross shows that there will be increases genetic and phenotype variations in offsprings that will be produced by the F1 plants.

What is the basic difference between simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion across a cell membrane? hints?
Licemer1 [7]

Simple diffusion is the process by which a substance moves across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Substances that move by simple diffusion are able to diffuse directly across the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. These substances are generally small and neutral, as large or charged particles cannot cross the phospholipid bilayer. Some examples of molecules that move by simple diffusion are carbon dioxide and oxygen.  

Facilitated diffusion is the process by which a substance moves across a cell membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration with the aid of a membrane protein. Substances that move by facilitated diffusion are not able to diffuse directly across the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane. These substances are generally large and/or charged. They therefore travel through a protein channel in the cell membrane along their concentration gradient. Some examples of substances that can move by facilitated diffusion are glucose, sodium ions and chloride ions.  

The similarities between facilitated diffusion and simple diffusion are:  

They both involve the movement of a substance across a cell membrane along its concentration gradient (from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration).  

They are both examples of passive transport, as neither requires energy from the cell to move the substance across the membrane.

Hemoglobin is the protein that transports oxygen in mammals. Different species of mammals have slightly different forms of hemog
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 6.8950.61 gm per mole

Explanation:

Given:

One form of hemoglobin is 0.324% Fe by mass

1 hemoglobin = 4 Fe

Solution:

Molar Mass of iron = 55.85

mass of 4 iron atom = 55.85 * 4 = 223.4 gms

0.324 % correspond to 223.4 gms

100 % correspond to = 223.4 *100/0.324

= 68950.61 gm

MM of haemoglobin = 68950.61 gms = 6.8 E4 gms
