Salt reduces the amount of water in a solution, because you're introducing another molecule. If the water concentrations are different, the water is going to want to reach an equilibrium to balance itself out. Because the salt solution has a higher water concentration than the plant cell, the water will move into the cell to try and balance out the concentrations. If the salt solution had a lower water concentration (water potential) then water would move from the cell into the solution.

List the functions of water in the body. Why is it important to maintain good fluid balance inside and outside of the cells
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

According to scientists , water occupies up to 60 % of the human body .

The importance of water in the human body are ;

  • Transport
  • Formation of bodily fluids i.e. saliva
  • Digestion
  • Regulates body temperatures
  • Circulation of nutrients

Explanation:

The reason why it is important to maintain good fluid balance within and without he cells is because , It can dissolve various elements to make then easily absorbed into other system .There are many fluids which rely on water for volume e.g. blood which is the main component of the circulatory systems , water also regulates the temperature  and heart pressure ,

Through electrolysis , fluid balance in the cells can be achieved and it also helps to generate nerve impulses  .

Write a hypothesis from this experiment question using this sentence starter... I think ____________ will happen BECAUSE _______
marta [7]
I think there is a 50% chance of the coin landing on either side because the labelling of the coin will not affect the balance of the coin, and therefore won’t alter the flip. Labelling the coin ‘b’ and B’ will result in a coin flip no different from if the coin remained unlabelled.

What are the two major components of extracellular matrix?
Advocard [28]

The two main components of the extracellular matrix are Elastin and Collagen.

The extracellular matrix is an intricate macromolecular network that is found in the extracellular space. The matrix is composed of polysaccharides and very diverse proteins, locally secreted and assembled forming a complex network that surrounds the cells. The matrix is highly developed in connective tissue and its derivatives. The extracellular matrix is formed mainly by proteins, glycosaminoglycans,proteoglycans and glycoproteins, organized in diverse networks that constitute the different tissues. <em>The most abundant proteins are collagen and elastin.</em>

Collagen is a family of very abundant proteins in the body of animals. Collagen molecules can represent 25 to 30 % of all body proteins. Its main mission in the tissues is to form a framework that supports the tissues and that resists the forces of mechanical tension.

The elastin molecules are very close to each other through links between the regions rich in the amino acid lysine. It is an abundant protein in may extracellular matrices and appears as a component of the so called elastic fibers, which are onsoluble aggregates of proteins.
