Answer and explanation:
If a human blood cell with a 0.9% solute concentration were to be put into a container of 0% solute solution, the cell would get BIGGER.
<u>The cell contains a </u><u>more concentrated solution</u><u> than the solution in the container</u>. The difference in concentration would produce an <em>osmotic gradient</em> that would cause water from the container to get inside the cell to even the concentrations - this is going to make the cell much bigger because the entering water would bloat the cell.
In this example, the solution in the container is hypotonic in relation to the cell, while the solution inside the cell is hypertonic in relation to the solution in the container. This is why the water will be moving from outside of the cell to the inside of the cell.
Answer: "homeostatic (dynamic equilibrium) range"
Homeostasis can be observed through the "homeostatic range (pre-set limits)" of the body's pH, temperature and blood glucose.
Explanation:
Homeostasis is the control of internal environment , physical and chemical conditions maintained by the living systems. A body takes control of its internal environment in spite of external forces interruptions. It can be defined as the body's defensive mechanisms.
Homeostasis is maintained and controlled by the nervous system.
Homeostasis is for optimal functioning of the internal environment such as body pH, body temperature, fluid balance, chemical ions balance (calcium, sodium and potassium) and blood glucose.
Body temperature is normally about 37.5° C (98.6° F).
Salt concentration in body fluids is normally about 0.9%
Blood glucose is normally about 10 mg/ml.
A disturbed (imbalanced body as a result of external forces) body regains its haemostasis balance by
Activating reflexes that fight the disturbance and maintaining behaviours to counteract the disturbance.
Answer:
selective permeability
Explanation:
The property or characteristic of cellular membrane to allow certain substances to pass through the cell is known as selective permeability. The movement of molecules and ions across the cell can be active or passive.
Answer:
The cell membrane holds the cell's internal contents from its environment.
The cell membrane is comprised of two layers of fat.
The cytoplasm is a liquid in which the various organelles of the cell are suspended.
The cytoplasm keeps organelles in place. It also allows different materials to flow from one organelle to another.
The nucleus of a cell contains genetic material. DNA, RNA and mitochondria replicate in the nucleus. The nucleus also produces and replicates proteins, and sends the proteins to other parts of the cell.
