Why doesn't our hands swell up due to osmosis , when we keep it in water for a long time ??

A cell wall is a permeable layer found in plant cells which acts as a membrane through which water molecules can pass through while animal cells do not have cell walls.. they just have a cell membrane which is selectively permeable to some chemicals or substances.. water does not move from the region of higher to lower concentration in animal cells

In short, plant cells have cell walls that allow osmosis while animal cells do not have cell walls for osmosis to take place

hope it helps you :)

Instead in our hands... something else happens rills or groove shaped lines are formed in our fingers.. it is an adaptation for our body to provide for some friction in water...

In recombinant dna experiments, what is used to cut pieces of dna and what joins the resulting fragments to form recombinant dna

jonny [76]

DNA fragments are cut out restriction enzymes (restriction endonucleases) and then joined together using enzymes called DNA ligases.

<span>Restriction enzymes are enzymes which recognize target sequences (recognition sites) and cuts DNA at or near those sequences.</span>

DNA ligase is an enzyme that connects the gap between the molecules (if they have matching ends).
