How do cells maintain water balance through osmosis? If a salt water fish is placed in a fresh water aquarium, water will leave

the fish's cells. In the experiment, the only isotonic solution was the 10% salt water solution. The egg swelled in distilled water because it is hypotonic to the egg's interior. The concentration of solute is greater inside the egg than it is in the Kayro syrup. The egg swells when placed in a hypertonic solution.

The answer is;  The egg swelled in distilled water because it is hypotonic to the egg's interior


Osmosis is the movement of water from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution through a semi-permeable membrane. The cell utilizes this phenomenon to indirectly regulate water in its cytoplasm by regulating the amount of osmotically active solutes in its cytoplasm through active transport.

Which role do ultrafine particles play in dirty air?
topjm [15]

Answer:

They can worsen symptoms for people with breathing difficulties.

Explanation:

Ultrafine particles are small particles found in dirty air. They aren’t filtered due to their very small size. They enter the lungs and cause certain conditions such as oxidative stress, inflammatory mediator release, and could induce heart disease, lung disease and other systemic effects.

People who have breathing difficulties have their case worsened due to these particles.

suppopse you were going to deisgn a system for the rapid diffusion of oxygen across a phosphlipid bilayer. according to fick's l
Llana [10]

Answer:

According to Fick's law, the rate of diffusion of any substance across any barrier is<u> directly proportional to the surface area of the membrane or any layer exposed. and the concentration of the diffusing substance available, but the rate is inversely proportional to the diffusion distance available.</u>

<u />

Thus the rate at which oxygen will move across the phospholipid  bilayer will depend on the concentration or amount  per mole  of the oxygen molecule hitting the phopholipid at  a prticular time and how permeable the phospholipd layer is to oxygen molecules, but the rate of its  movement across will be reduced as the distance between the phosphoslipid bilayer and the diffusing molecules  increases.

Therefore, the concentration of oxygen should be maximised, the surface area of the phospholipid  bilayer should also be maximized. the distances between the phopholipid and the  vessel containing the diffusing oxygen molecules should be drastically reduced. With this Fick's law  has been applied , and therefore maximum oxygen molecules can diffuse across.
