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.

ESTOS ALIMENTOS DULCES AZUCARADOS NO SÓLO SON MALOS PARA LA SALUD,SINOQUE YANDIEN PUEDEN SER E________.AMENUDO SE DISFRASAN CON
Semenov [28]

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

Desafortunadamente, no anexaste opciones o incisos para responder la pregunta. Sin embargo, podemos comentar lo siguiente.

ESTOS ALIMENTOS DULCES AZUCARADOS NO SÓLO SON MALOS PARA LA SALUD, SINO QUE TAMBIEN PUEDEN SER ENGAÑOSOS. A MENUDO SE DISFRAZAN CON NOMBRES QUE PUEDEN SER SABROSOS.

Es muy importante que seas cuidadoso con los alimentos que consumes como parte de tu alimentación. Muchas empresas, a través de sus marcas, comparten publicidad engañosa para atraer más clientes bajo la promesa de alimentos sabrosos y nutritivos. Y la verdad es que no. Te están engañando.

No hay nada como basar tu dieta diaria en frutas, verduras y un equilibrio entre proteínas, carbohidratos, azúcares naturales y grasas.

Si es necesario, consulta a tu médico o a un nutriólogo para que te expliquen qué tan malo pueden ser los alimentos con muchos químicos.

¿Son sabrosos? Sí, pero también están llenos de sal, grasas, azúcares en excesos que le hacen mucho daño a tu salud.

En México ya existe una ley que obliga a todos los productos colocar unas etiquetas de color negro con blanco en todos los productos con la leyenda: "exceso de sodio," "exceso en grasas," exceso en azúcar."

Esto, con el propósito de que la gente se entere antes de comprarlos.

Wood deposits recovered from an archaeological site contain 36% of the C-14 they originally contained. How long ago did the tree
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer: It was obtained 8515 years ago

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant

a - x = amount left after decay process  

a) to find the rate constant:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}

k=\frac{0.693}{5760}=0.00012years^{-1}

b) for completion of 36% of reaction

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{100}{36}

t=\frac{2.303}{0.00012}\log\frac{100}{36}

t = 8515 years

The time was 8515 years.
