8 0

Answer:

Viruses do, however, show some characteristics of living things. They are made of proteins and glycoproteins like cells are. They contain genetic information needed to produce more viruses in the form of DNA or RNA. They evolve to adapt to their hosts.Living characteristics of viruses include the ability to reproduce – but only in living host cells – and the ability to mutate.

Answer:

The correct hypothesis would be -

"if the light is required for seed germination of seed, then in the absence of light lettuce seed will not germinate"

Explanation:

The hypothesis is always based on a question one wanted to answer. The hypothesis is the possible explanation of a world natural problem. One needs to make his hypothesis on the basis of the research he made.

To test the hypothesis one needs to develop an experiment like here formed an experiment to test if the light is required for the germination of seeds. Thus, hypothesis would be "if the light is required for seed germination of seed, then in the absence of light lettuce seed will not germinate"

1. What type of response will a red blood cell have when placed in a hypertonic solution?
GalinKa [24]
Hypertonic solution means the solution with a lower water potential than the cell cytoplasm, such as salt water.

When the red blood cell is put into it, since the cell has a higher water potential than the solution, water molecules will flow from the cell back into the water due to osmosis.

Osmosis is always where water molecules flow from a region of higher water potential to lower, through a semi permeable membrane (Whcih is the red blood cell membrane in this case.)

Since water flowed out of the cell, the cell lose water and shrinks.

Hypotonic solution is where the solution that has a higher water potential than the cell cytoplasm.

So when the red blood cell is put in that solution, the water will flow from the solution into the cell this time, by osmosis.

The red blood cell will then gain so much water that the cell membrane cannot hold all and therefore burst.
