The blood cells will lyse (burst) because the water is hypotonic to the cells.
BartSMP [9]3 years ago

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.

Explain how the stomach Depends on other body systems to carry out its role in breaking down food molecules.
denis-greek [22]
The whole body works together, as a “team.”If one of the parts of the body won’t work together as a team, everything will get messed up. The stomach muscles churn and mix the food with digestive juices that have acids and enzymes, breaking it into much smaller, digestible pieces. An acidic environment is needed for the digestion that takes place in the stomach.

Select all that apply. The Chordata phylum consists of _____.
faltersainse [42]
The answer is tunicates. Tunicates are commonly known as sea squirts and are in the Chordata phylum, even though they don't have a back bone. Which is really weird. But they just got put into the same category as humans. This is because they have a notocord and a back bone when they are larvae. But they lose all these when they become adults.

AUGGCGUUU which of the following DNA strands could have been the template for this RNA?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

3' TACCGCAAA 5'

Explanation:

Transcription is the process by which a particular DNA sequence (e.g., a gene) is used as a template to synthesize a complementary RNA sequence that grows in a 5′ → 3′ direction. This RNA molecule is usually a messenger RNA (mRNA) which is then used to synthesize a polypeptide chain (i.e., a protein) by a process called translation. The complementary RNA molecule produced during transcription is synthesized according to the base pair rules, i.e., Adenine (A) bases always pair with Thymine (T) bases, while Guanine (G) bases always pairs with Cytosine (C) bases. In RNA, Uracil (U) bases pair with adenine, thereby replacing thymines during transcription.
