What would happen to a sample of your red blood cells if they were placed in a hypotonic solution?

Biology
1 answer:
timofeeve [1]3 years ago
3 0

<em>Hypotonic solutions contain a low concentration of solute relative to another solution ( The cells cytoplsm) </em>

<u>Thus, when a cell in placed in a hypotonic solution, the water diffuses into the cell, which causes the cell to swell up. </u>

<em>The cell has lower solute concentration than the solution. So the solution is HYPERTONIC and the cell is HYPOTONIC. </em>

As a result, a cell that does not have a rigid cell wall, such as a red blood cell, t'will most definitely swell and burst when placed in a hypotonic solution.

Human cells obtain energy from a reaction called cellular respiration. balance the skeletal equation for cellular respiration. c
Softa [21]
<span>C6H12O6 + O2 -> CO2 + H2O + energy, otherwise expressed as glucose plus oxygen converted into carbon dioxide plus water plus energy. It includes glycolysis, the Krebs Cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation to properly balance. The finished equation should look like this: C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy</span>

How does air pressure affect weather
UNO [17]

Answer:

<em>Hewo, Kiluawa (sorry if i spelled it wrong) </em>

Explanation:

High Pressure

Basically, high pressure occurs in an area if the atmosphere over that particular area becomes heavier. As a result, the heavy air above will come down to the Earth’s surface. And the air present in that area will move away to create space for the heavy air.

Commonly, the warmer months experience high pressure. You’re more likely to enjoy a comparatively dry and stable weather pattern in those months. Besides, you’ll find the skies in high pressure areas very clear. You’ll also feel a gentle breeze there that will cool down the surrounding areas.

Low Pressure

On the other hand, the air above a low pressure area is comparatively much lighter than the air below. As the heavy air on the Earth’s surface cannot go further below, it pushes away the lighter air above. As a result, a vacuum is created on the surface level and the air in the surrounding areas rushes towards it to fill up the void space.

Meanwhile, the rising air starts to cool down and form clouds in the sky. These clouds then come down to the Earth in the form of rain. Sometimes, snow is also formed depending on the temperature of the surrounding areas.

In general, colder months of the year experiences more low pressure situations. By now, you probably can guess why. The cold air on the surface level is heavier than the air above. And these low pressure areas are the reasons behind unstable weather conditions like snow, ice, rain, storm, etc.

Hope This Helps!

The nasal cavity is divided into left and right portions by the
blondinia [14]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- nasal septum

Explanation:

The nasal cavity is the hollow space or cavity connected to the two nostrils which allow the inhalation and exhalation of the air into the nose.

The nasal cavity is divided into left and right portion by a cartilaginous bony structure called nasal septum. The nasal septum lies in the central position and divides the nasal cavity into symmetrical portions.  

Thus, the nasal septum is the correct answer.

I think homologous structures is a great example and idea that supports the theory of evolution. Homologous structures shows us how our futures evolved by natural selection.
