If a plant cell is placed in solution and the cell shrivels up what type of solution was it placed in

1 answer:

8 0

<span>The plant cell was placed in a hypertonic solution. Due to its higher concentration of solutes and a net movement of water outside a hypertonic solution causes the cell to shrink. In other words, when a plant cell is placed in hypertonic solution the water from the cell will be forced out of the cell in an attempt to balance itself. This is known as plasmolysis.</span>

What is the difference between population and organism?

Ostrovityanka [42]

An organism describes an individual. You are an organism. I am an organism. The mosquito that flies by your window is an organism. An organism is a single, living thing and can be an animal, a plant, or a fungus. Organisms grow and respond to their environment.

A population is the term we use to describe multiple individuals or organisms of a single species that live within a particular geographic area. For example, there may be one population of painted turtles in one state and another population of painted turtles 250 miles away in another state.

devlian [24]

Answer: All of them seem to apply.

Explanation:

A., Its important to know if your car that is being collided is a small car or big truck, as they will end up effecting who gets hurt the most.

B., Same thing as A. but with the other vehicle.

C., The velocity matters a lot with a collision, since a slow crash won't have as much damage as a car going fast and hitting someone. Also it won't be as likely to be fatal if the car crashing into you is going slow.

D., This is the only one I'm not too sure on, but it seems like how fast the car can accelerate once collided with would be a big factor on whether it would come to a halt or skid across the road.

Describe the general types of diagnostic tests used to diagnose patients infected with HIV.

GenaCL600 [577]

AIDS

This disease leads to death by weakening the immune system of the human body. Common symptoms are related to the nervous system like dementia, anxiety, depression and insomnia.

TESTS

The tests for AIDS are discussed below.

The most common test for any disease is the blood test.

When human body is infected with the virus, the body produces anti-bodies to combat this infection. The blood test is positive if these anti-bodies are present in the blood sample of the infection person. However, it takes time for these anti-bodies to appear in the blood stream, hence, blood test should be done at regular intervals.

The tests specifically developed for AIDS are as follow.

ELISA or Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

If this test is positive, this is followed by a Western Blot test. The blot test is done in order to confirm the disease.

As said before, anti bodies take time to develop. If the test is done during this phase, it will be negative despite of the presence of virus in the blood stream.

HOME

Only one home test is approved. This is called Home Access Express Test. The kit of this home test is available at pharmacies.

SALIVA

The saliva from the patient’s cheek is obtained on a cotton pad. This pad is put in a vial which is then sent to the lab for testing. If the result is positive, blood test is done to confirm the disease.

VIRAL LOAD

As the name suggests, this test measures the quantity of virus present in the blood. This test is done to either test the presence of HIV or to track the progress of the treatment of HIV.

WESTERN BLOT

This test is done when the result of ELSA test is positive. This test confirms the disease.

All the above test if turn out negative and the patient still doesn’t recovers, this testing should be done periodically until the disease is confirmed.
