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

Biology

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.

Describe how you would use the yeast-two-hybrid technique to find the proteins that interact with a liver-specific receptor prot
ollegr [7]

Answer:

Yeast-two-hybrid technique is one of the most important molecular technique that can be used to study the interactions at the molecular level. The interactions between the protein and DNA-protein  interaction can be studied by this technique.

If the individual wants to study the liver liver-specific receptor protein then yeast-two-hybrid technique can be applied. The interested protein that can acts as prey and bait proteins must be covalently linked with the other third protein known as the reporter protein.  Then the activity of the reporter protein is studied with the interactions of the prey and bait protein.
