Discuss the Conditions necessary to cause water to diffuse out of a cell

Biology
1 answer:
sammy [17]2 years ago
7 0

When water molecules diffuse through a cell membrane this process is called the osmosis. Water molecules are extremely small and because of this they can slip freely through the gaps between the phospholipids in the cell membrane. And as a result, water molecules can constantly move back and forth though the cell <span>
membrane. This movement of water has a very important function and that is it enables cells to absorb water. </span>

Now for a movement of water molecules to happen, there should be a concentration gradient in the surrounding. That is, the amount of water in one side must be different on the other side.

<span>For water to diffuse INTO the cell, the amount of water outside the cell membrane should be larger than the amount of water inside the side.</span>

The ability of vibrio cholerae to cause disease depends on a number of factors. What are general requirements for any organism t
Svetllana [295]
<h2>Disease </h2>

Explanation:

  • Pathogenicity is the ability to produce disease in a host organism
  • Microbes express their pathogenicity by means of their virulence, a term which refers to the degree of pathogenicity of the microbe
  • The relationship between a host and a pathogen is dynamic, since each modifies the activities and functions of the other
  • The outcome of such a relationship depends on the virulence of the pathogen and the relative degree of resistance or susceptibility of the host, due mainly to the effectiveness of the host defense mechanisms
  • Hence, general requirements for any organism to cause disease within a host are: evasion of host defenses , gaining access to the host via a portal of entry, adherence to host tissues

A elephant cell has 20 chromosomes. how many chromosomes will the cell have just before mitosis begins in the elephant cell?
lora16 [44]

The elephant cell will have 20 chromosomes.

Cells undergo interphase before getting to the mitotic phase. At the S phase of the interphase, the amount of DNA in the cell is double by replication. However, the number of chromosomes remains intact.

Thus, the cell gets to the mitotic phase with the same number of chromosomes that is usually present in normal vegetative cells of the animal.
