Virus infection domain cell
Answer:
The correct answer is: <em>B. blood cells would be in a hypotonic solution, so water would rush into the cell causing it to expand and eventually burst</em>.
Explanation:
Cells have a certain solute concentration that produces an osmotic pressure of aproximately 300 mOsm. For that reason, IVs solutions must have a solute concentration which equals the cell osmotic pressure. That is usually acomplished by using an aqueous solution of NaCl 0.9% w/v or 5% w/v Glucose.
If an IV of pure water is administrated to a person, the blood cells will be in a hypotonic solution. That is, with a concentration lesser than the concentration inside the cells. Due to the difference in concentration, a net flow of water will be produced from the exterior to the cell interior. As the volume of the cell is increased, the cell membrane is damaged and eventually the cell will collapse.
Think of blood as a gas/ fuel for the car ( your body). If there is no fuel, there's no movement (dead) so when the fuel tank is damaged the car won't function properly.
So if the heart becomes damaged, or weakened it would start making blood clots and damage the organs that need blood to function properly. The circulatory system wouldn't function properly and because other organs depend on the circulatory system it would cause a chain reaction, affecting other body systems. <span />
Answer:
__Rigor mortis__________ is caused by the lack of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to the muscles
Explanation:
The rigor mortis corresponds to the stiffness of the muscles (they cannot contract or elongate) due to the lack of ATP, where I fixed the bridges between actin and myosin. This event happens when the oxygen transporting organs stop working.
Earth’s axis passes through the North and South Poles. It takes Earth 24 hours to rotate once around its axis. Earth revolves once around the Sun in 365 days during a non-leap year.
