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]2 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.

How does an animal’s level of fitness relate to its chances of survival and reproduction?
Mademuasel [1]
An animal that is healthier will have a better chance of survival due to better strength, and also be better suited to winning a mate. Animals that are weak or sick are most likely to die off or be killed by a predator or natural reasons, if this animal survives, it will most likely not get a mate because the mate will not be attracted to the sickened animal, considering how most animals search for a healthy mate to reproduce with. (Usually there is some type of court ship dance or song of some sort, and it is usually the more healthy animal that is able to "perform" the best dance/song for the mate it is trying to win over) Hope that this helped!
