Marina CMI [18]3 years ago
5 0

Plasmolysis can be defined as the process where cells lose water concentration in a hypertonic solution and this process leads to contraction or shrinkage of the pant cell protoplasm. However, water leaves the cell due to hyperosmotic solution because it contains solutes such as sorbitol, sucrose and mannitol.

What can white blood cells do that helps them carry out their defensive functions more effectively?
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Migrate through blood vessels

Explanation:

White blood cells have the ability to perform diapedesis. Diapedesis refers to the emigration of white blood cells through the blood vessels. During the process, white blood cells move along the endothelium of blood vessels and stick to it. The white blood cells squeeze between the endothelial cells to migrate out of the blood vessels.

In this way, white blood cells can reach the site of infection or move from blood to the interstitial fluid to perform immune functions. The ability to migrate in and out of the blood vessels allows the phagocytic neutrophils and macrophages to arrive at the site of pathogen entry, basophils arrive at the site of inflammation to perform their respective functions.

Question
klemol [59]

The benefit derived from laying many eggs by the octopus is that it increases the chance that more individuals will survive to maintain the population.

<h3>Survival rates</h3>

For organisms that serve as prey for another organism in the same ecosystem, the more their reproductive capacities, the better the chances of the population's continued existence in the ecosystem.

Since only 5% of the number of offspring produced by octopuses only make it to adulthood, this means that the higher the number of offspring produced, the higher the chances of more making it to adulthood.
