Explain the meaning of the statement: "Tonicity is only useful as a comparative term."

Biology
1 answer:
Marrrta [24]3 years ago
4 0
Tonicity is a comparative term that has no units. It is frequently used when describing what happens in the cell volume at equilibrium. Tonicity always compares a solution and a cell, and it is used to describe only a solution. Tonicity is related to its osmolarity. There are three terms, hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic that used to compare the extracellular fluid around.

Fittoniya [83]
The man with blood type  A might have one of two genotypes:
1. Iᵃ  Iᵃ<span> 
2. </span>Iᵃ  i
In this case, Iᵃ is an allele for A group, and i is an allele for 0 group.
The ABO blood type is controlled by a single gene (the ABO gene) with three types of alleles (Iᵃ   Iᵇ    and   i)

Waters ____ makes it excellent solvent for salts like sodium chloride as well as other substances required by cells to carry out
valentinak56 [21]

The right answer is polarity.

In chemistry, polarity is a characteristic describing the distribution of negative and positive charges in a dipole. The polarity of a bond or a molecule is due to the difference in electronegativity between the chemical elements that compose it, the differences in charge that it induces, and to their distribution in space. The more the charges are distributed asymmetrically, the more a bond or molecule will be polar, and conversely, if the charges are distributed in a completely symmetrical manner, it will be apolar, that is to say non-polar.

Polarity and its consequences (van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonding) affect a number of physical characteristics (surface tension, melting point, boiling point, solubility) or chemical (reactivity).

Many very common molecules are polar, such as sucrose, a common form of sugar. The sugars, in general, have many oxygen-hydrogen bonds (hydroxyl group -OH) and are generally very polar. Water is another example of a polar molecule, which allows polar molecules to be generally soluble in water. Two polar substances are very soluble between them as well as between two apolar molecules thanks to Van der Waals interactions.
