A living cell is placed into a hypotonic solution . Compare the solute and solvent concentration inside the cell with the concen
frosja888 [35]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The living cell concentration is hypertonic than outer solution hence the concentration of solutes will be higher than the solvent.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • In the question description it is mentioned that cell is present in the hypotonic solution than cell environment will be hypertonic.
  • In the cell the solute will present in the concentrated form.
  • Hence the water will move from the outer environment into sell through the osmosis.
  • Osmosis is the movement of water from higher concentration to low concentration through semi permeable membrane.
  • Hence the cell will swell due to water collection in cell.

madreJ [45]

If the overall diversity of a population is measured that had gone through a recent bottleneck and then rapidly recovered its former population size, it would have a lower than expected diversity based on its population size.

<h3>What is Population Bottleneck?</h3>
  • A population bottleneck is a situation where the population is substantially reduced. A variety of occurrences, such as an environmental catastrophe, the extinction-level hunting of a species, or the destruction of an organism's habitat, might result in the bottleneck.
  • Due to the loss of many alleles, or gene variants, present in the initial population, the population's gene pool decreases as a result of the population bottleneck.
  • The event has resulted in an extremely low amount of genetic variation in the remaining population, which indicates that the population as a whole has few genetic traits.
  • When a population bottleneck occurs and there are alleles present, the residual population is more susceptible to genetic drift.

Does the mitral valve prolapse increase, decrease, or not change stroke volume (the amount of blood exiting the ventricle with e
Vikki [24]

Answer: this depends on the direction of flow of blood

Explanation:

The mirror valve prolapse also known as mirror regurgitation occurs when part of the mitral valve slips backwards loosely into the left atrium and this can be as a result of damage or the abnormal size of the mitral valve tissues.

This thing physiological aftermaths of mirror valve prolapse includes

1. reduced forward stroke volume ( reduced stroke volume of blood exiting the ventricles to flow to other parts of the body

2. Increased left atrial volume and pressure. Due to the backwards flip of the valve, and instead of being closed each ventricular contraction, blood flows into the left atrium increasing the volume and its pressure producing pulmonary oedema.

How is toast digested in the human body?
makkiz [27]
The digestion of food, or say toast has a long process.

First, we enter the toast in our mouth and we chew it to break it down. It is a part of physical digestion. Saliva mixes with the toast to break down the starch present in it to glucose.

The chewed morsels of toast enters our stomach through foodpipe or oesophagus. In the stomach, Hydrochloric acid reacts with the morsels to convert it into more simpler substance.

The morsels then enter the small intestine where the final digestion takes place. Enzymes from various organs react with the morsels to break it dwon into very-very fine particles. The morsels of the toast then pass into the blood through villi which are small finger-like projections on the walls of small intestine.///

This is how toast is digested in our body.
