What is most likely to happen to a cell that's placed in pure water​

Biology
2 answers:
rjkz [21]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

No osmosis occurs. Red blood cells placed in a solution with a higher water concentration compared to their contents (e.g pure water) will gain water by osmosis, swell up and burst. Water will diffuse from a higher water concentration outside the cell to a lower water concentration inside the cell.

Answer:

units of C 6 H 12 O 6

Explanation:

Starch is a polymer of billions of glucose units joined through a condensation reaction that splits out molecule of water. Starch is an important part of our food belonging to the category of carbohydrates. It is found in cereals and potatoes.

Starch can be in two forms based on the their structure and some other differences:

1) Amylose- straight chain polymer

2)Amylopectin- Branched chain polymer

You can see the structure of starch with glucose monomers for better understanding in the image.


Hope it helps!

While mRNA strands are being created a sequence is sometimes miscopied. What is the best possible outcome for the cell should th
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The best possible outcome for the cell in the event of mis-copied mRNA is for the mis-copied sequence to code for the same amino acid as the correct sequence would have done

Explanation: The process of transcription during which the message in DNA is transcribed as genetic codes into mRNA is sometimes not error proof. Synthesized mRNA is usually transported into the cytoplasm where the codes are translated into protein.

Each genetic code which is usually a sequence of 3 purine/pyrimidine bases codes for an amino acid. However, due to the degenerate nature of the genetic codes, more than one codon can code for the same amino acid. The degenerate nature is caused by the fact that there are 64 possible codons and there are 20 amino acids in nature. For example, UUA, UUU and UUG can be coding for the same amino acid in nature.

Hence, if a mistake occur during transcription, the best possible scenario for the cell is that the mis-copied sequence will end up coding for the same amino acid(s) as the correct correct sequence would.

Photosynthesis is related to cellular respiration and why?
Andrej [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP.  While photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, cellular respiration requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. It is the released oxygen that is used by us and most other organisms for cellular respiration. :)
