Give at least 10 pieces of factual information about how reaction times slows when you get older
Katena32 [7]

Explanation:

Reflexes do slow with age. Physical changes in nerve fibers slow the speed of conduction. And the parts of the brain involved in motor control lose cells over time.

Researchers found that the brain's response time begins to decline at age 24. The descent is a slow, but nonetheless, steady one.

If a swimmer cuts his foot on a seashell while wading in the ocean and bleeds into the seawater, his erythrocytes will shrink. W
Tom [10]

Answer:A) The ocean is hypertonic to the erythrocytes.

Explanation:cells shrink when placed in an hypertonic solution.

This shrinkage occurs does to the movement of water out of the cell and through the cell membrane.this phenomenon is called plasmolysis.

The movement of water out of this cell occurs through osmosis.osmosis is the movement of water from a region of high concentration of solute to a region of low concentration of solute, through a semi-permeable membrane.

In this case,sea water has a higher concentration of solute (hypertonic) and the blood cells has a lower concentration(hypotonic) .the cell membrane serves as the semi-permeable membrane and and a result water moves out of the cell
