It's not alive, nor is it even an organic compound.

- It cannot respond to stimuli (Responsiveness)
- It cannot secrete hormones (Secretion) 
- It cannot send messages along a nervous system or anything similar (Conductivity) 
- It cannot break down compounds to usable energy forms (Digestion) 
- It cannot absorb broken down compounds as an energy source (Absorption) 
- It cannot reproduce (Reproduction) 
- It cannot grow--it has no cells (Growth) 
- It cannot exchange gases between cells (Respiration) 
- It cannot rid itself of waste material (Excretion)

Complete the phrase below. Each member must contribute one complete sentence. The words prokaryotic and eukaryotic must be used:
ankoles [38]

Answer/Explanation:

All cells are not the same because not all cells contain membrane-bound organelles.

Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles. In contrast, eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles like an endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes, and importantly, a nucleus.

The nucleus is where genetic information (DNA) is stored. However, it is only present in eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells do not possess a nucleus, the DNA is found in the cytoplasm.

A tissue sampler that is being used for a medical procedure is placed inside a saline solution. Unknown to the medical team, the
solong [7]

Answer: Water will leave the cell and the cell will shrink.

Explanation:

Osmosis is the net movement of water from an area of low to high concentration of solutes through a semipermeable membrane. If none of the compartments contains solutes, then the water moves in either direction between the compartments. <u>However, if we add a solute to one of the compartments, this will affect the probability of water molecules leaving that compartment and moving into the other compartment.</u> The ability of water to move into or out of a cell is called tonicity. The tonicity of a solution is related to its osmolarity, which is the total concentration of all the solutes in the solution. A solution with low osmolarity has few solute particles per liter of solution, whereas a solution with high osmolarity has many solute particles per liter of solution. When two solutions with different osmolarities are separated by a membrane permeable to water but not permeable to solutes, water diffuses from the side with lower osmolarity to the side with higher osmolarity. So, solutions can be:

  • <u>Hypotonic</u>: The extracellular fluid has a lower osmolarity than the fluid inside the cell, it is hypotonic with respect to the cell, and the net flow of water will be into the cell.
  • <u>Hypertonic</u>: The extracellular fluid has a higher osmolarity than the cytoplasm of the cell, it is hypertonic with respect to the cell and water will flow out of the cell.
  • <u>Isotonic</u>: The extracellular fluid and the cell have the same osmolarity so there is no net movement of water.

If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell and the cell will shrink due to the difference in pressure and may even die from dehydration.

Increasing the volume of air that reaches the alveoli and takes part in gas exchange will cause blood pH to:
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Increase

Explanation:

As CO2 enters the blood, most of it is converted to the carbonic acid in a reaction catalyzed by carbonic anhydrase. The carbonic acid dissociates into hydrogen ions and bicarbonate ions. As the H+ concentration increases, the blood pH decreases. Thus, the increased partial pressure of CO2 produces a more acidic environment. Increasing the volume of air that reaches the alveoli and takes part in gaseous exchange will increase the rate of removal of CO2 from the blood. The reduced CO2 levels in the blood would increase the blood pH.
