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

Biology
1 answer:
timofeeve [1]4 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.

Mass does matter when pointed in a downward angle, like if you have a metal toy car racing down a large peice of wood at a downward angle. If you had a plasitic car aong side it to measure which would go faster the metal car will reach the bottom quicker, gravity weighs down things :)</span>

Differential medium can separate Gram negative bacteria from
Anni [7]

Answer: True. Selective media can be used to separate gram negative from gram positive bacteria.

Explanation: Selective media allow certain types of organisms to grow, and inhibit  the growth of other organisms.

For example: Media containing potassium  tellurite will  inhibit the growth of gram negative bacteria while media supplemented with penicillin will inhibit the growth of gram positive  bacteria.

Summarize how light is converted to stored chemical energy during photosynthesis
iragen [17]

Explanation:

During the process of photosynthesis, light penetrates the cell and passes into the chloroplast. The light energy is intercepted by chlorophyll molecules on the granal stacks. Some of the light energy is converted to chemical energy. During this process, a phosphate is added to a molecule to cause the formation of ATP.

vladimir2022 [97]

Explanation:

Halotolerant is the ability of the organism to grow at the higher concentration of salt than the required concentration for its growth.

As we know Mannitol salt is used as selective medium for isolation of pathogenic bacteria. The medium has mannitol salt, phenol red indicator, 7.5% sodium chloride. This high salt concentration inhibits the growth of most bacteria.
