Answer is hypertonic.
The ability of an extracellular solution to make water move into or out of a cell by osmosis is known as its tonicity. Tonicity is concern for all living things, especially in in organisms lacking cell wall, <em>Paramecium</em> is one such protozoan. It has specialized structures called contractile vacuoles. A contractile vacuole collects excess water from the cell and release it out, keeping the cell from lysing as it takes on water from extracellular environment which hypotonic (a lower osmolarity than the cell’s cytoplasm) as compared to hypertonic environment inside <em>Paramecium</em>.
Answer:
C. Osmosis
Explanation:
Osmosis is the net movement of solvent molecules, usually water, from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration through a partially permeable membrane. Osmosis is a very useful for moving materials in and out of the cell.
Solutions are mixtures of solutes and solvents. The main aim of osmosis is for all the mixture part to be uniform and the solvent equally dispersed to all the part of the solution.
Osmosis is controlled to a large extent by concentration gradient.
Diffusion on the otherhand is the movement of molecules of a substance from one position to another.
Facilitated diffusion and active transport are just mechanisms for transport within a cell or a body.
C. Enzymes increase the rate of the chemical reactions carried out during metabolism.
Answer:
b. Alveolar dead space
Explanation:
Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that the statement that would best indicate that the nurse understands the condition would be "Alveolar dead space". This is because, this is the name of the condition being described by the pulmonologist. It is the sum of the volumes of the alveoli that are ventilated but not perfused due to almost no blood flowing through their pulmonary capillaries.
