The right answer is the concentration would increase.

All living cells in the body act as semi-permeable membrane in relation to the aqueous medium in which they are. As seen above, osmosis is a phenomenon that consists of a liquid exchange of a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution through a semipermeable membrane.

A cell placed in distilled water undergoes enormous osmotic pressure. In the absence of backpressure applied in the cytoplasm, distilled (hypotonic) water diffuses into the cell (hypertonic) through the membrane. The massive entry of water into the red blood cell causes the swelling, then the bursting of it. This is called "Endosmosis". On the other hand, if we put cells in a hypertonic solution, they will retract. Such an external environment causes the release of water from red blood cells and therefore the phenomenon of "Exosmosis".

<span>Base on the data in the graph, the event that would most likely happen if the paramecium were placed in distilled water is that "The contractions would increase." This is the result of a hypertonic solution. </span>The net movement of water in an aqueous solution is form the higher water concentration to a lower water concentration. A hypertonic solution has higher solute in the cell than the outside. The movement is from the cell to the outside and so the cell will shrink.

Vlada [557]

Answer:

Microtubules

Explanation:

These filament-like structures are a major component of the cytoskeleton of the cell and help is maintain asymmetrical cell shape. They are composed of tubulin molecules arranged to form a 'hollow straw' attached to the cell membrane end to end . The contraction and lengthening of these microtubules are controlled by the addition of removal these of tubulin molecules to vary its length.

The bladder is in the _____ region. a. hypogastric b. right lumbar c. left lumbar d. epigastric
Anastasy [175]

The <u>bladder </u>is in the hypogastric region.

Hypogastric Region- The structures around the pelvic bone are located in the hypogastric area. These include the prostate in men and the womb and ovaries in women, as well as the bladder, a section of the colon and rectum, the anus, and several reproductive system organs.

Bladder- A little above and behind pubic bone in the pelvis, the urine bladder is a muscular sac. The bladder is roughly the size and shape of a pear when it is empty. The kidneys produce urine, which then passes via capillary called ureters and into the bladder. Urination can be restricted and rare because to the bladder's ability to hold pee.
