Osmosis

Osmosis is the name of the process in which water moves into or out of the cell membrane to maintain homeostasis.

Osmosis is the net movement of solvent substances such as water from a region of higher solvent potential to a region of lower solvent potential, through a semi-permeable membrane.  During this process, the movement of solvent stops when the concentration of the two solutions becomes equal (balanced). This type of diffusion is an important process in biological systems because biological membranes are semipermeable.

Osmosis! Osmosis is the process that water diffuses across the plasma membrane.

What happens to an animal cell in a hypertonic solution?
jarptica [38.1K]

<span>The answer is that cell will shrink.</span>

<span>If you put an animal cell in a hypertonic solution means that concentration of the solutes is greater outside the cell, in the solution, than in the cell. Consequently,</span> the water concentration of the cell's cytoplasm is higher than that of the hypertonic solution. Since the aim is to balance water concentration on the inside and outside of the cell, the water will exit the cell. The cell will lose water and, consequently, will shrink in size.

Identify two general ways chemical mutagens can alter dna.
gavmur [86]
1) compound mutagens can go about as base analogs 
Analogs are perceived by DNA polymerase and consolidated into DNA set up of nucleotides and after that reason change by base-matching in a way that varies from the undifferentiated from nucleotide. For instance, 5-BrdU can be consolidated inverse An amid replication and after that combine as a C amid the following round of replication, making a TA CG change. 
2) substance mutagens can synthetically adjust base. 
Compound adjustment of bases changes their base-blending properties to such an extent that an altered purine will base-match with the wrong pyrimidine and the other way around. For instance, EMS is an alkylating operator that proselytes guanine to O6-methylguanine, which base-sets with T to make a GC to AT progress
