Answer:

c. There will be a net diffusion of oxygen from the water into the bloodstream only if the partial pressure of oxygen in the water is greater than 100 mm Hg

Explanation:

Diffusion involves the movement of molecules from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration. If the molecules are gas molecules, they will diffuse from the region of higher pressure to the region of lower pressure.

Hence, for net diffusion to occur from the water to the bloodstream, the partial pressure of oxygen in water must be higher than the partial pressure of oxygen in the bloodstream.

<em>Since the partial pressure of oxygen in the bloodstream is 100 mm Hg, then the partial pressure of the gas in water must be more than 100 mm Hg in order for net diffusion to occur from water to the bloodstream.</em>

Why do cells which lack cell cycle control exhibit karyotypes which look physically different than cells with normal cell cycle?
avanturin [10]
A karyotype is the number and appearance of chromosomes in the nucleus of an eukaryotic cell. Karyotypes also describe the chromosomes count of an organism  and the appearance of these chromosomes under the microscope. Cell which lack cell cycle control are often cancerous cells and they look different under the microscope compared to the normal cells. Cancerous cells will look different under the microscope in term of number of chromosomes, size, length, positioning and general appearance.
