The red blood cells would look just fine or normal in the person who has drowned. Water wouldn't be lost because it wouldn't be attracted to the concentration of the salt water and the salt water would be too large to break the barriers.

Answer:

I would expect to see a withered cell because of the extreme lack of water.

Explanation:

Osmosis is the passage of solvent from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution through a semipermeable membrane until the pressure exerted by the solution on the membrane prevents the passage of solvent. This process aims to balance the concentration of the solution.

Based on this, we can imagine what happens to the cells of a person who drowned in salt water.

Salt water has a higher salt (solute) concentration than human cells, so through osmosis the human cell provided a water outlet (solvent) to dilute the salt of the salt water and establish a balance between the medium. cell phone and salty water. With this extreme loss of water, human cells become wilted and collapse.

In all cells, separation of replicated chromosomes is a prerequisite for cell division. However, the mechanism of chromosome sep
Ipatiy [6.2K]

1. two copies of the duplicated chromosome are attached at their centromeres before separating

2. chromosomes replicate before cell division

3. chromosome separation begins at the origin of replication on DNA

4. Before separation duplicated chromosomes condense; nuclear envelope fragments permitting chromosome separation

5. replicated chromosomes separate by attaching to some other structural feature of the cell

Explanation:

In the given question, the DNA replication steps of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes are provided in which some are common to both eukaryotes and prokaryotes and some are unique to the prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

<u>Eukaryotes </u>

1. Option-4 as the nuclear envelope is present in eukaryotes only.

2. Option-1 as centromere allows the kinetochores bind to the centromere which separates the chromosome.

<u>Bacteria </u>

1. Option-3 as DNA replication process separates the strand of the DNA.

<u>Both </u>

1. Option-5 as the chromosomes separate by other structures like microtubules

2. Option-2 as genetic material to be passed on to the generation must be replicated.

Is the statement "I joined the science club to make my parents happy" intrinsic motivation
Bess [88]
Depends on whether the person is talking to themselves, or someone else.
If they are talking to themselves, it is indeed intrinsic motivation, as they are convincing themselves they are also happy and motivated to join the science club as it makes their parents happy.
If they are talking to someone else, it would not be intrinsic motivation. This is because they are merely telling someone that they're doing something to make their parents happy.
As it is a statement, on the whole I would say, no. It is not intrinsic motivation.
