Answer:

The sternum may suffer a fracture

Explanation:

The sternum is not all solid bone, it has a section of cartilage at the tip as it approaches the abdomen. Therefore it is easy for it to be fractured if pressure is exerted below the line marked by the two nipples, which is a place where it is strong enough to be safely pressed by the heel of the hand.

Why plant cell does not burst even if placed constantly in hypotonic solution?
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

It's simply law of osmosis.

In osmosis solvent particles move from lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration until both the solution acquire the same concentration. So when a plant cell is kept in hypertonic solution (having more solute concentration), the solvent particles move outside the cell causing it to shrink, which is also known as plasmolysis of cell.

When a plant cell is kept in hypotonic solution (having less solute concentration), the solvent particles move inside the cell causing it to swell up which is also known as deplasmolysis. But due to the presence of cell wall, plant cell can not burst. Cell wall is a very stratchable boundary made up of cellulose mainly which makes the plant cell non-collapsable (but animal cells can burst in hypotonic solution due to absence of cell wall)

Have a great day!!!!!!!!

No system is completely closed off from its surroundings. Which represents a system that is almost completely closed?
stepladder [879]
I agree: a capped soda bottle has very limited contact with the surroundings, as it has to be relatively closed so that the gas bubbles don't escape.

The remaining options have contact either with air (A and D) or with water from the outside (B)
