After seeing the attached picture represented above, it has become more clear and I think that the best explanation for why the onion cells do not burst, while red blood cells often do, is that t<span>he red blood cells have only a cell membrane, which does not protect them from bursting. The main point which makes difference between two parts of picture is that one of the cells has protective membrane.
Hope you will find it helpful.
Regards.</span>

The onion cells are plant cells, and plant cells have cell membrane and cell wall both. The cell wall is composed of the cellulose, and it provides rigidity to the cell and helps the cell to maintain its shape. That is why when an onion cell is put in distilled water, it did not burst.

However, the red blood cells do not have cell wall. They only have cell membrane, which cannot provide rigidity to the cell, and therefore, it bursts when put in distilled water.

Hence, the correct answer is option (1) - 'the red blood cells only have cell membrane which does not protect them from bursting'.

30. One cause of muscle soreness is
xenn [34]

Answer:

c. lactic acid fermentation

Explanation:

If we did alcoholic fermentation, working out would make us feel drunk, not sore. This is only done by yeasts (a type of fungus) and bacteria. Glycolysis is simply an anaerobic process that occurs with fermentation and also regular aerobic respiration. It doesn't cause any soreness on its own. The Krebs cycle is the second major part to cellular respiration; it produces 6 NADH's, 2 FADH2's, 4 CO2's and 2 ATP; it's not involved in creating any soreness, as cell respiration does not create soreness. That leaves lactic acid fermentation, which we, bacteria, yeasts, and other organisms do. This is what we do when we run out of ample oxygen while doing some strenuous activity. Glycolysis is done with it. Glycolysis, however, relies on NAD+ to create ATP we need to maintain the same level of activity, lactic acid is produced as it accepts the 2 electrons and [H+] NAD+  should accept.

Define excretion and list the ecretory product of mammals and indicate where each product is formed​
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Excretion is a process by which metabolic waste is eliminated from an organism. In vertebrates this is primarily carried out by the lungs, kidneys and skin. This is in contrast with secretion, where the substance may have specific tasks after leaving the cell. Excretion is an essential process in all forms of life.
