Suppose a human blood cell containing a 0.9 percent solute concentration were put into a container of 0 percent solute solution

(i.e., distilled water). Would the blood cell get bigger or smaller? Why? In your explanation, you must tell me which area has the hypotonic solution (inside the blood cell or outside the blood cell), which area has the hypertonic solution (inside the blood cell or outside the blood cell), and which direction the water would be moving (into the cell or out of the cell)

Explanation:

The solution is hypotonic (lower concentration), and the inside of the cell is hypertonic (higher concentration). Water always moves in the direction of the higher concentration. Therefore, it would move inside the cell, and this will cause the cell to swell (get bigger), and eventually burst.

It is to be noted that the process by which water moves from a low concentrated solute to a high concentrated solute is called osmosis.

Match the following. 1. (pl. gametangia) an organ of lower plants, some protists and some fungi, that produces gametes gonad 2.
Dmitry [639]

The correct matching is as follows-

1. (pl. gametangia) an organ of lower plants, some protists and some fungi, that produces gametes- gametangium.

2. the reproductive cell in sexual reproduction- for example, the egg or sperm.

3. gamete-producing organ in animals - gonad.

4. cone-bearing plant - gymnosperm.

5. the condition of having isogametes - isogamy.

Gametangium refers to the specialized organ of algae, fungi, ferns and other plants involved in the production of gametes. A female gametangia is called the archegonia producing the egg cells and the male gametangia is called the antheridia producing the sperm cells.

Sexual reproduction is characterized by the production and fusion of the male and female gametes called the sperm and the egg respectively.

The gamete producing organ in animals is called the gonads. It is the testis in the male and the ovary in the female.

Gymnosperms are naked seeded plants. The scales or leaves modified to form the male and the female cones.

Isogamy is a type of sexual reproduction that involves the gametes of similar morphology with similar size.

Human cells have 46 chromosomes. Each chromosome consists of a pair of identical chromatids attached together by a structure cal
nevsk [136]

Answer:

The answer is 46 chromosomes.

Before mitosis, cell duplicates its DNA material so there are 46 chromosomes in duplicates and in total there are 46 x 2 = 92 sister chromatids. During mitosis, sister chromatids first join in the middle of the cell and then separate towards the opposite sides of the cell. After they separate, there are 46 sister chromatids on the one side and 46 sister chromatids on the other side. Each sister chromatid at the end of cytokinesis actually represents the chromosome of the newly formed daughter cell.
