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.

The process of mucociliary streaming involves the removal of particles and pollen by the constant streaming of mucous propelled
olchik [2.2K]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Mucociliary streaming is the process of the cleaning mechanism of the respiratory passage. It is one of the protective process that protects the respiratory passage from the effect of the particles of dust and pathogens before they reach up to the delicate lung tissues. This process maintains the pulmonary hygiene.

This takes the advantage of cleaning up the cilia present in the respiratory tract, this process penetrates the mucous layer of the cilia by wave-like motion. The cilia trap the large and small particles. The instrument used for this purpose moves at a speed of 6 to 20mm per minute. This helps in cleaning up of the cilia along with the mucous.
