Actively growing cells are usually small in size because it gives them a higher surface area to volume ratio, so basically whatever it is that the cell needs to put out, it can get out faster. they also wear out faster therefore they need to be made quicker so the smaller the cell the easier it is to make.

Suppose a human blood cell containing a 0.9 percent solute concentration were put into a container of 0 percent solute solution

Vladimir [108]

Answer and explanation:

If a human blood cell with a 0.9% solute concentration were to be put into a container of 0% solute solution, the cell would get BIGGER.

The cell contains a more concentrated solution than the solution in the container. The difference in concentration would produce an osmotic gradient that would cause water from the container to get inside the cell to even the concentrations - this is going to make the cell much bigger because the entering water would bloat the cell.

In this example, the solution in the container is hypotonic in relation to the cell, while the solution inside the cell is hypertonic in relation to the solution in the container. This is why the water will be moving from outside of the cell to the inside of the cell.

What could potentially happen if an intramuscular vaccine is administered too high?

sweet [91]

An intramuscular injection is a technique delivering a medication that is deep into the muscles. If intramuscular is administered too high then the efficacy of the vaccine might be reduced as it is not injected in the right site. It might also cause to injure blood vessels so it should be injected in the correct site and depth.
