You have an egg that has an internal 7% salt concentration and you put it into a bowl of 3% salt water. What is the tonicity of

the egg? What is the tonicity of the water in the bowl? Explain what will happen to the egg over time. Assume water can move across the cell membrane but the salt cannot. Be sure to use the appropriate terms to describe what occurs (solvent, solute, tonicity, specific type of transport, etc.) (2-3 sentences) *50 points

Answer:

Egg is HYPERTONIC

Water in the bowl is HYPOTONIC

The egg will become filled with water over time

Explanation:

Tonicity refers to the ability of an extracellular solution to direct the flow of a solvent (water) in and out a cell. There are three types of tonicity; hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic. A solution is said to be HYPERTONIC when the concentration of solute in it is higher than its external solution. This is the case of the egg cell that contains 7% salt (solute).

A HYPOTONIC solution is that which contains a lower solute concentration than it's external solution. This is the case of the water in the bowl that contains 3% salt concentration.

Tonicity determines which direction osmosis occurs. Osmosis is the movement of solvent/water from a region of high solvent concentration/low solute to a region of low solvent concentration/high solute concentration via a semi-permeable membrane. In this case, water (solvent) will move through the egg cell membrane (semi-permeable membrane) from the bowl with a low solute concentration into the egg with a high solute concentration. Hence, over time, the egg cell will be filled with water.

What is the primary energy system to fuel cycling at 70% of VO2 Max for 15 minuets?
ANEK [815]
The primary energy system to fuel cycling for 15 minutes is THE AEROBIC GLYCOLYSIS SYSTEM.
There are different energy systems for fueling different types of physical exercise, the type of system that is used depend on the duration of the physical exercise. The energy system that exist are anaerobic glycolysis, aerobic glycolysis, phosphagem system and fatty acid oxidation. The aerobic glycolysis energy system relies on the complete breakdown of glucose. The pyruvate which is the end product of glucose oxidation is further broken down to acetyl coA, which then enters into the citric acid cycle. The aerobic glycolysis energy system is used for physical exercises that last between three to twenty minutes.

Answer:

1. transcription of Tau DNA in different directions.

4. different chemical modifications of Tau protein.

Explanation:

Tau gene transcribe in different direction which depends upon the animal age. This happens because at different age and developmental stage, animal produce different RNA binding proteins which leads to formation of alternative splice forms. This reaction is strengthen by the addition of phosphate and sugar molecules which again depending on developmental stage and time.
