If a blood cell is placed into a solution of 10M salt (highly salty) what would you expect to occur?
steposvetlana [31]
The blood cell will lose water and will undergo lysis.

Cell membrane is permeable to water and can get/lose water via osmosis. Osmosis is induced by the gradient of concentration of the solution. In this case, the 10M salt solution has a very high oncotic pressure that it will attract nearby water. That means the water inside the cells will be taken into the solution and cell will continue to shrink and then die.

Explain in detail, the flow of blood through the heart. Someone please help
Serggg [28]

As the heart beats, it pumps blood through a system of blood vessels, called the circulatory system. The vessels are elastic, muscular tubes that carry blood to every part of the body.

Blood is essential. In addition to carrying oxygen from the lungs and nutrients to your body's tissues, it also takes the body's waste, including carbon dioxide, away from the tissues. This is necessary to sustain life and promote the health of all the body's tissues.
