How do cells maintain water balance through osmosis?

Biology
1 answer:
qaws [65]3 years ago
4 0

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.

A population that is decreasing in size will have an age-structure histogram shaped like a(n): 1) inverted pyramid, with a narro
lawyer [7]

The correct answer is - 1) inverted pyramid, with a narrow base representing a small number of young individuals.

The populations that are decreasing are usually population in countries that are highly developed. The conditions for living are excellent, the medical care on high level, life expectancy very high, but the birth rates very low.

In this type of conditions, there's smaller and smaller number of young individuals, with the middle aged population being much bigger, and the older population being constantly on the rise. This will give the age-structure histogram a reverse shape than what it is supposed to have, it will be similar in appearance like a inverted pyramid, meaning that the population is aging and that it will be constantly on a decline in the future.

Describe two typical applications for each of the following types of microscope
Veseljchak [2.6K]
A.Transmission electron microscopes are a versatile tool for many fields, including medicine, biology, nanotechnology, metallurgy, forensics, electronics, material science, and much more. A biologist might use a TEM to look at the internal structure of a cell.

b. Industries including microelectronics, semiconductors, medical devices, general manufacturing, insurance and litigation support, and food processing, all use scanning electron microscopy as a way to examine the surface composition of components and products.

c.Brightfield Microscope is used in several fields, from basic biology to understanding cell structures in cell Biology, Microbiology, Bacteriology to visualizing parasitic organisms in Parasitology. Most of the specimens to viewed are stained using special staining to enable visualization.

d.A dissecting microscope is used to view three-dimensional objects and larger specimens, with a maximum magnification of 100x. This type of microscope might be used to study external features on an object or to examine structures not easily mounted onto flat slides.

There are three ways sexual reproduction increases genetic diversity in a species. Choose two and explain each
Yuki888 [10]

So in order to form a new organism, two gametes -- the sex cells, sperm and egg -- must fuse, further mixing the genes to produce more genetic diversity. Asexual reproduction is one organism dividing into two organisms without shuffling its genes, so the offspring has the same version of genes as did the parent.

Please help!! I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST !! Can you figure out the modern spreading rate of the Mid- Atlantic ridge? Use that line t
Naddik [55]

Answer:

R = 16mm/y  

Explanation:

Modern Spreading Rate (R) = distance the seafloor moved in km (d) / age in million years (t)

R = d/t

To calculate it in millimeters per year we need to convert it:

<em>1 km = 1000 m </em>

<em>1 m = 100 cm </em>

<em>1cm = 10mm</em>

<em>1 km = 1,000,000 mm   </em>

The problem states that in 150 million years, there is a distance of 2400 km.

if 1 km ------- 1,000,000 mm

2400 km-------X = 2400,000,000 mm

If 1 million years -------1,000,000 years

150 my----X = 150,000,000 years

R = d/t

R = 2400,000,000 mm/150,000,000 y.

R = 16mm/y
