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.

fomenos

Answer:

Adaptation

Explanation:

In this case predation is the selection pressure for natural selection in the mice population. Because the black mice stand out against the brown sand dunes backdrop, they are easily located and predated on by the hawks. Therefore, black mice have a lower chance (compared to brown mice) to reach reproductive age and pass down their genes to the next generation. With subsequent generations, therefore, there will be more and more brown mice in the population.

Which parts of the nephron does adh act on to regulate water reabsorption?
Mashutka [201]

Distal Convoluted Tubule and Collecting Duct are parts of the nephron does ADH act on to regulate water reabsorption. ADH acts throughs G-protein coupled receptor in order to increase transcription and the insertion of Aquaporin–2 channels for the apical membrane of the CD and DCT cells. Therefore, the permeability of CD and DCT cells to the water increases.

A Distal Convoluted Tubule (DCT) is a short nephron segment, a portion of kidney nephron between Henle or macula densa and the collecting tubule loop. It plays an important role in regulating extracellular fluid volume and electrolyte homeostasis. In DCT, Sodium absorption occurs, which is mediated by the hormone aldosterone.
