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

Biology
1 answer:
Marrrta [24]4 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.

Devise an experiment to test the hypothesis that bright orange coloration in butterflies acts as a "warning" to potential
Murrr4er [49]

Answer and Explanation:

As I don't have access to live butterflies, the control group would be clay models that do not exhibit warning coloration, e.g. beige / white / brown. In contrast, the experimental group would be the clay models that exhibir a strong warning coloration such as color orange / red.

After preparing the clay 'prey', I would locate them in specific places outside where birds are able to detect them. Moreover, I would use a webcam to monitor the recurrence of birds in the area.

1st experiment: Test whether birds approach the prey that exhibits both warning coloration (experimental group) and dull coloration (control group). Then, record the minutes they spent wandering near the prey.

2nd experiment: Test wheter birds feed on the prey that exhibits both warning coloration (experimental group) and dull coloration (control group). Record time.

Carry out statistical analyses.

Present results and discuss.

One example of how applied science has had a direct effect on daily life is the presence of vaccines. Vaccines to prevent diseas
Mashutka [201]

Vaccines are a boon in eradicating various lethal diseases and increase the immunity of the people. The development of vaccines started with the understanding the cell itself, various pathways that regulate its fate. The immunology, a branch of biological science, gave the idea of the working of the defense or the immune system of the body, and of the various specia cells that function for it. This led us to the discovery of antibodies and antigens. Vaciines are artificial means of injecting antigens into the body to generate antibodies beforehand, so that the immune system remembers producing it at the time disease causing agent strikes us.

Thus, we can summarise that STEM research or core science research has led to innovations that have shaped our lives and lifestyle to contribute to an overall good social health.
