Answer:

This means that the cells are in a hypertonic solution.

Explanation:

A hypertonic solution is precisely one that has a higher solute concentration compared to another medium, which in this case is the epithelial cells, shown in the question above.

When a cell is in a hytonic solution, it tends to lose fluids to that solution in order to balance the concentration of solute within the cell and in the solution. As a result, the cell is deformed, wrinkled, folded, withered.

The cells are either hypertonic when they are thick and hypertonic when wrinkled.

Leto [7]

Answer:

A) hypertonic, out of the cell.

Explanation:

When cells are exposed to high levels of salt (sodium chloride) they lose water by osmosis and shrink. The cytoplasm condenses and the movement of cellular components, such as the cytoskeleton and organelles, stops. Cells adapt to high salt by quickly importing salt in order to attract water and regain volume, at the expense of increased salt concentration. Unlike cell volume, the movements of cellular components are slow to recover and, depending on the dose of salt, may not recover fully.

ella [17]

In human cell mitosis, each daughter cell will have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell, which is 46 chromosomes. If the parent cell is diploid, it has two sets of chromosomes, or a total of 46. If it is haploid, such as sperms and eggs, they have one set of chromosomes, or just 23.

A source from which organisms generally take elements is called
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

A source from which organisms generally take elements is called exchange pool (option B).

Explanation:

Options for this question are:

  • <em>Food web.</em>
  • <em>Exchange pool.</em>
  • <em>Reservoir.</em>
  • <em>Biotic community.</em>

The term exchange pool is related to the biogeochemical cycles that exist in nature, referring to the source from which elements present in the environment become part of living organisms.

<u>Exchange pools are the biotic components</u> -like animals and plants- of an ecosystem, which determine the passage of elements between living beings. An element can remain as a reservoir (abiotic) in the soil, and then be incorporated into the exchange pool.

Frameshift mutations ____________.
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b. "cause a change in the reading frame of mRNA codons".

Explanation:

Frameshift mutations are among the most drastic mutations because in most cases, result in the translation of a completely different protein. Frameshift mutations are the result of insertions or deletion of one or more nucleotides, resulting in a change in the reading frame of mRNA codons. In consequence, the ribosome translates a different amino acid sequence, based on the new reading frame of mRNA codons.
