When the concentration o molecules inside a cell is different form the concentration of molecules outside a cell, we can either call it hypertonic or a hypotonic solution, and the difference between the two concentrations is called a concentration gradient.

Hypertonic - name given to a solution that has a bigger concentration than the concentration in a cell.

Hypotonic - name give nto a solution that has a smaller concentration than the concentration in a cell.

Give me another real-life example for each type of symbiotic relationship<br>​
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Mutualism: both partners benefit. An example of mutualism is the relationship between the Egyptian plover and the crocodile. In the tropical regions of Africa, the crocodile lies with its mouth open. The plover flies into its mouth and feeds on bits of decaying meat stuck in the crocodile’s teeth. The crocodile does not eat the plover. Instead, he appreciates the dental work. The plover eats a meal and the crocodile gets his teeth cleaned. Coincidentally, the Egyptian plover is also known as the crocodile bird.

Commensalism: only one species benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed. For example, remora fish are very bony and have a dorsal fin (the fin on the back of fish) that acts like a suction cup. Remora fish use this fin to attach themselves to whales, sharks, or rays and eat the scraps their hosts leave behind. The remora fish gets a meal, while its host gets nothing. Selfish, sure, but neither gets hurt.

Parasitism: One organism (the parasite) gains, while the other (the host) suffers. The deer tick is a parasite. It attaches to a warmblooded animal and feeds on its blood. Ticks need blood at every stage of their life cycle. They also carry Lyme disease, an illness that can cause joint damage, heart complications, and kidney problems. The tick benefits from eating the animal's blood. Unfortunately, the animal suffers from the loss of blood and nutrients and may get sick.

A dog eats a pound of dog food. What happens to the energy and chemical nutrients in the food over the next several days?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

The energy is mostly released as heat through the dog's activities; the nutrients either become part of the dog's body or are released to the ecosystem as wastes like urine, feces, and exhaled gases.

Explanation:

  • The food that is consumed by an organism is digested and the nutrients obtained from the food are partly absorbed by the digestive system and assimilated and stored into the body and the nutrients that are not absorbed are released in the form of feces.
  • The chemical energy obtained from the food is released in the form of heat through the activities that are done by the dog.

One g of fecal matter was suspended in 99 ml saline solution (tube 1). After mixing gently but thoroughly, one ml from tube 1 wa
malfutka [58]

Answer: the cfu/g Gram-negative bacteria in the fecal sample is C = 3.0 × 10^3

Explanation:

We know that; Gram negative bacteria looks  pale reddish in color under a light microscope from Gram staining.

therefore

There are 30 red bacterial colonies counted.

1 mL of from tube 1 was removed and added to tube with 99 mL saline (tube 2) dilution is 1/100.

transferred volume  into the plate is 1 mL.

Now, we have to determine the cfu/g Gram-negative bacteria in the fecal sample

Formula to calculate CFU/g bacteria in fecal sample is expressed as;

C = n/(s×d )

where C is concentration (CFU/g) , n is number of colonies , s is volume transferred to plate , d is dilution factor.

so we substitute

C = 30 / ((1/100) × 1)

C = 30 / 0.01

C = 3000

C = 3.0 × 10^3

THERFERE, the cfu/g Gram-negative bacteria in the fecal sample is C = 3.0 × 10^3

I have a cut on my toe. What do I need to do to make new skin cells to repair my toe?
babymother [125]

Mitosis will be needed to make new skin cells to repair my toe

Explanation:

The process of mitosis produces new cells which are required for the growth and repair of the cells and the body. In case of cut and damage mitosis produces identical cells and helps repair the damage caused by injury.

List some fungal adaptations associated with the absorption of nutrients.
Nutka1998 [239]
Fungi are effective decomposers, saprophytic fungi grow towards their food source, mycelia produce extracellular enzymes to digest food outside of hyphae, saprophytic fungi like miners: they blast away lignin to expose cellulose, fungi use other enzymes to degrade cellulose to glucose.

Hope this helped :)
