Answer:

the lower solute concentration, lyse.

Explanation:

If we place a cell in an hypotonic solution that means that the concentration of solute is lower than in the inside of the cell (in this case there is not solute at all). To have an equal concentration inside and outside the cell the only thing that can happen is the passage of water (solvent) from the outside to the inside of the cell through a semipermeable membrane. This process where a solvent goes through a semipermeable membrane towards a place were the solutes are in a higher concentration in order to equalize the concentrations on both sides is called osmosis. If there is too much solvent going into the cell, this one will start to swell and finally it will lyse (burst).

Which of the following accurately describes kidney function?
Troyanec [42]
C applies as the kidney must excrete salt in order to get rid of excess water. (Water chases salt) if there is too much salt in the body the urine will be much more concentrated then if the body had too much water. Glucose may kbly be excreted if there are problems with the kidney- some diabetics pee out glucose. D applies to some degree- salt will still be excreted but in very dilute amounts- as the water must chase something in order to be excreted.

Alligators life cycle compared to a human
Levart [38]

Answer:

Alligators: Growth depends greatly on the surrounding environment, including temperature, and sexual maturity is reached at approximately 6 feet long. The life span varies greatly for these large reptiles, averaging 35 to 50 years for wild alligators and 60 to 70 years for crocodiles.

Humans:In summary, the human life cycle has six main stages: foetus, baby, child, adolescent, adult and elderly. Although we describe the human life cycle in stages, people continually and gradually change from day to day throughout all of these stages.
