What will happen to a red blood cell (RBC), which has an internal ion concentration of about 0.9 percent, if it is placed into a

beaker of pure water?
Biology
1 answer:
astra-53 [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

It wil swell and burst

Explanation:

"pure" water is only H2O so there are no solutes, because of osmosis, water will enter the red blood cell that does contain solutes until the cell and the surrounding environment (in this case the water) are iso-osmotic, this will never happen though because the water contains no solutes.

Given what we know, we can confirm that if a cancer medicine wishes to stop cellular division, it must target the Centrioles of a cell.

<h3>What are the Centrioles of a cell?</h3>
  • The centrioles are cylinder-shaped organelles made up of microtubules.
  • Their function is to organize the contents of the cell before cellular division.
  • This is done to ensure that once the cell divides, its contents are split evenly to each daughter cell.
  • They also play a role in initiating the cellular division process.

Therefore, given the role of the centrioles in organizing the contents of the cell for cellular division, as well as initiating the first part of cell division, we can confirm that in order for a cancer medicine to stop cell division, it must target the centrioles.

Why do you think weather scientists use percentages instead of saying “it will definitely rain today”?
grigory [225]

Answer:

Right now, I am in college for climatology, but before I decided on climatology, I was taking classes in Meteorology, the study of weather. So, I will answer your question. All meteorologists like to be right, but since the weather is so spontaneous, it is really hard to be right. Meteorologists use percentages because it helps them be professional. Also, because, different parts of the region where they are may or may not get the rain. I don't know where you are from, but I will use my hometown. In McAlester, Oklahoma, there may be a 70% chance of rain, but in another part of the region at Tulsa, Oklahoma ( which is 91 miles north of McAlester) there may be a 40% chance of rain. The difference in the percentages can vary from how stable the environment is, altitude, location, and terrain. That is two of the reasons why Meteorologists use percentages to predict weather.
