If a red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the cell would shrink.
Hypertonic solution means that the solution has a lower water potential than the other side (which is the cell's cytoplasm in this case), and by that, water molecules would have a tendency to flow from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential. This movement of water molecules is called osmosis. But note that a semi-permeable membrane (a membrane which can decide what substances can go in and out, the cell membrane is an example) has to be present in osmosis, or else the movement may be regarded as diffusion.
As the water molecules flowed away from the red blood cell cytoplasm, the cell loss so much water that the membrane has nothing much to hold and thus the cell shrinks.
In amino acids, the carboxyl group acts as an acid.
Answer: Option B
<u>
Explanation:
</u>
The molecular formula of the carboxyl group is -COOH. It is composed of one carbon atom bonded with oxygen atom and hydroxyl group.
During ionization process, it leads to the formation of two ions namely a positive ion called
, whereas a negative ion called
. Due to the formation of
ions, which is nothing but a proton, the carboxyl group present in the amino acid act as an acid.
I will go outside after i make my airplane. I will through it at about a 45 degree angle and see if my hypothesis was right about how far it will go. Then I will right down my results.
hope this helped
