Answer:

See below for answer

Explanation:

<u>A. 200 mOsM NaCl</u>

This solution is hypotonic to the red blood cell (RBC) with penetrating solute. The RBCs will swell up and burst because the water will move into the cells.

<u>B. 400 mOsM urea</u>

This solution is hypertonic to the RBCs with non-penetrating solutes. Water will leave the cells via osmosis and the cells will shrink and appear shriveled.

<u>C. 100 mOsM urea plus 200 mOsM NaCl</u>

This time both penetrating and non-penetrating solute is present. The solution is isotonic to the RBCs and although there will be movement of water between the cells and the solution, there will be no overall change in the concentration of water for each and no change in appearance of the cells.

<u>D. 300 mOsM urea</u>

The RBCs will not lyse nor shrivel as again the solution is isotonic to the RBCs.

What is the term used to describe why roots grow in the direction of earth's gravity pull
Grace [21]

The specific term to characterized the downward growth of roots in response to earth’s gravity pull is called positive geotropism. The word geotropism was derived from two words, “geo” which means ground and “tropism” which describes a plant movement elicited by a gravitational stimulus.

In addition, the root cap makes the roots turn downward as they grow for they have specialized cells with sensors called statoliths that settle to the lowermost part of the root cap in response to the pull of gravity and help the cell multiply more rapidly in a downward direction.

Cytokinesis in animal cells differs from mitosis in plant cells in that animal cells do not form _[blank]_. a contractile belt c
V125BC [204]

Their main difference is how they form the daughter cells during cytokinesis. During that stage, animal cells form furrow or cleavage that gives way to formation of daughter cells. Due to the existence of the rigid cell wall, plant cells don't form furrows.

Hope this helps, if not let me know. Also, do you have multiple choice answers? If this isn't one let me know the options and I'm sure I can help.
