A red blood cell placed in a hypertonic solution will shrink in a process called crenation. A red blood cell placed in a hypoton

ic solution will swell and potentially burst in a process called hemolysis.To prevent crenation or hemolysis, a cell must be placed in an isotonic solution such as 0.9% (m/v) NaCl or 5.0% (m/v) glucose. This does not mean that a cell has a 5.0% (m/v) glucose concentration; it just means that 5.0% (m/v) glucose will exert the same osmotic pressure as the solution inside the cell, which contains several different solutes.A red blood cell is placed into each of the following solutions. Indicate whether crenation, hemolysis, or neither will occur.Solution
A: 3.21% (m/v) NaClSolution
B: 1.65% (m/v) glucoseSolution
C: distilled H2OSolution
D: 6.97% (m/v) glucoseSolution
E: 5.0% (m/v) glucose and 0.9%(m/v) NaClDrag each solution to the appropriate bin.

Answer:

The correct answers are A. "crenation", B. "hemolysis", C. "hemolysis", D. "crenation" and E. "neither will occur".

Explanation:

0.9% (m/v) NaCl or 5.0% (m/v) glucose are isotonic solutions at which the cells will not suffer any harmful consequence. A solution with a higher concentration than the isotonic conditions would result in the cells crenation, while a solution with a lower concentration would result in the cells hemolysis. Therefore the consequences of putting the red cells to the solutions stated in the question are as following:

A: 3.21% (m/v) NaCl Solution  = crenation (higher than 0.9% (m/v) NaCl)

B: 1.65% (m/v) glucose Solution  = hemolysis (lower than 5.0% (m/v) glucose)

C: distilled H2O Solution  = hemolysis (lower than 0.9% (m/v) NaCl or 5.0% (m/v) glucose)

D: 6.97% (m/v) glucose Solution  = crenation (higher than 5.0% (m/v) glucose)

E: 5.0% (m/v) glucose and 0.9%(m/v) NaCl = neither will occur (equal to 5.0% (m/v) glucose and 0.9% (m/v) NaCl)

What is the function of the Type II alveolar cell?
hoa [83]

Answer: The function of the Alveolar type II cells is that they secrete a lipoprotein material that is known as surfactant.  The  primary function of the surfactant is to reduce the surface tension in the alveoli.

Explanation:

Type II have an important function Type II as they secrete pulmonary surfactant in order to lessen the surface tension of water and allows the membrane to separate, therefore increasing its capability to exchange gases.

Which are specific to just prokaryotes, or just plants, or just animals? drag the appropriate items to their respective bins. he
balu736 [363]
<span>Prokaryotes have magnetite-containing structures, nucleoid (their version of a nucleus), fimbriae. Animals have lysosomes. Plant cells have chloroplasts (make the plant cells green, produce energy for plants), photosynthetic membranes (produce energy for plants), cell well. Flagella can be found in prokaryotes and animal cells but for a simpler biology class, I would put it with prokaryotes.</span>

The Turner family uses 548 liters of water per day. The Hill family uses 3 times as
SashulF [63]

Answer:11,508 liters per week

Explanation: Since the turner family uses 548 liters per day and the hill family uses 3 times that much you would multiple 548 by 3 giving you 1,644 liters per day. 1,644 liters is the amount of water they use in one day so you would have to multiply the amount of water used in one day with the total days of the week. Therefore 1,644x7= 11,508 liters per week.

Plants use nitrogen in fertilizers for growth. However, much of the nitrogen goes unused. What is one direct outcome of this exc
Olin [163]
There are many environmental negative direct outcomes of unused excess nitrogen from nitrogenous fertilizers. One of these is eutrophication. Eutrophication is the excessive richness of nutrients in a water body as a result of fertilizer run offs from the land, which causes a dense growth of plants in the water. Other negative outcomes are: green house effects, acid rain and contamination of underground water which has negative effects on human health.

Butoxors [25]
Axolotl is a Mexican salamander or Abystoma Mexicanum.  It can survive as it grows through True Cellular Regeneration.  This  is the ability to regenerate cells, tissues and organs without the need of transplants.  T<span>he axolotl is unique in the sense that it can renew several structures like limbs, jaws, tail, spinal cord, skin throughout their lives. They can even receive transplanted organs from other individuals and accept them without difficulty.</span>
