How do cells maintain water balance through osmosis?

Biology
1 answer:
qaws [65]3 years ago

Answer:

The egg swelled in distilled water because it is hypotonic to the egg's interior.

Explanation:

Osmosis is representing a movement between hypotonic solvent and semipermeable membrane.

Hypotonic solvent is moving into the higher concentration and that concentration is concentrating the both sides of a membrane. In this case, solvent is the water.

Because of the passive transport, osmosis doesn't need energy.

Identical population-splitting events occurred simultaneously on two neighboring islands, Islands B and C, which are each initia
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

This is due to the event of Speciation that happened for the rodents in Island B but not for the rodents in Island C.

Explanation:

  • Due to splitting of the population,
  • The sub-population of rodents formed in Island B are B1 and B2.
  • The sub-population of rodents formed in Island C are C1 and C2.
  • In case of Island B, each of the B1 and B2 sub-populations that got split from each other developed certain mutations that were necessary for them to adapt to the particular diverse environment each of them were exposed to, through the period of 50,000 years. These mutations were so varied that reproductive isolation was generated between them that resulted in each of them to develop into different species.Hence, speciation happens here and B1 and B2 are incapable of inter-breeding.
  • In case of Island C, each of the C1 and C2 sub-populations that got split might have got exposed to similar environmental change or no environmental change or the environmental change might have been too small to cause drastic change in each of the sub-populations. As a result of this the two sub-populations might have acquired certain mutations to adapt to the environment each of them were exposed to, through a period of 100,000 years. These mutations might not have been too variable or contrasting to cause reproductive isolation between C1 and C2. Hence, no new speciation happens here and C1 and C2 are capable of inter-breeding.

The optimum environment for pepsin is?
Anna007 [38]
<span>Pepsin is an enzyme that breaks down proteins into amino acids in the stomach (where the pH is 1-3). Pepsin needs to be in an acidic environment to be activated. The optimum temperature is between 30 oC and 40 oC because the average human body temperature is 37 oC. The optimum pH is the acidic one because your stomach has an acidic pH.</span>
