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...

grass-Biotic means living, all of the other choices are not living, and would therefore be abiotic factors

This is because it is a living thing (performs photosynthesis and cellular respiration).

The drug cytochalasin B blocks the function of actin. Which of the following aspects of the cell cycle would be most disrupted b
Sladkaya [172]

The correct answer is: E) cleavage furrow formation and cytokinesis

Cytochalasin B (cytos-cell and chalasis-relaxation) is a molecule which inhibit network formation by actin filaments by blocking monomer addition. As a result, itshortens actin filaments. This molecule is involved in cytoplasmic division where it blocks the formation of contractile microfilaments. One of the microfilament’s function includes cytokinesis and formation of cleavage furrow so these functions are affected by cytochalasin B.
