some of the epithelial cells are folded or wrinkled what does this tell you about the thickness of the cells?

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.

Which of the following is true of kinesin?
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

C. Kinesin hydrolyzes ATP.

Explanation:

The central force-generating element that the two types of motor proteins (Kinesin and Myosin) have in common includes the site of ATP binding and the machinery necessary to translate ATP hydrolysis into an allosteric conformational change. Kinesin must use the energy derived from ATP binding and hydrolysis to force a large movement in part of the protein molecule. When kinesin forms a rigor-like tight association with the head location of the microtubule, the ATP is bound to the kinesin, and it is hydrolysis of ATP that promotes release of the motor from its track. Thus, myosins can typically drive filament sliding much more rapidly than kinesins, even though they hydrolyze ATP at comparable rates and take molecular steps of comparable length.

Based on the demonstration and your microscopic investigation, which of the three solutions is hypotonic to the red blood cells?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

You have given no demonstration based on your microscopic investigation so I cant tell you the answer to the question. I will try to help you by elaborating how to decipher..

Three terms hypotonic, hypertonic and isotonic are used when referring to two solutions separated by a selectively permeable membrane.

The hypertonic solution has a great concentration of OAS than the solution on the other side of the membrane. It is described, therefore, as having a great osmolarity. The hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of OAS, or osmolarity, than the solution on the other side of the membrane. When the two solutions are at an equilibrium, the concentration of OAS being equal on both sides of the membrane, the osmolarities are equal and are said to be isotonic.

The net flow of water is from the hypotonic to the hypertonic solution. When the solutions are isotonic, there is no net flow of water across the membrane.

If red blood cells are placed in a solution with a lower solute concentration than is found in the cells, water moves into the cells by osmosis, causing the cells to swell; such a solution is hypotonic to the cells.

So, look at the information and data you have on your microscopic investigation and use these guidelines to tell you which is which.
