If a red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the cell would shrink.
Hypertonic solution means that the solution has a lower water potential than the other side (which is the cell's cytoplasm in this case), and by that, water molecules would have a tendency to flow from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential. This movement of water molecules is called osmosis. But note that a semi-permeable membrane (a membrane which can decide what substances can go in and out, the cell membrane is an example) has to be present in osmosis, or else the movement may be regarded as diffusion.
As the water molecules flowed away from the red blood cell cytoplasm, the cell loss so much water that the membrane has nothing much to hold and thus the cell shrinks.
Answer:
This question is asking for the polymer and monomer of nucleotide and protein respectively.
The answer is:
Protein - monomer is AMINO ACID
Nucleotide - polymer is NUCLEIC ACID
Explanation:
There are four major biological molecules found in nature namely: protein, carbohydrates, fats and oil, nucleic acid. These biological molecules are, however, complex and polymeric in nature and like every other polymer, they must contain monomers that make up their structure.
- PROTEINS are made up of monomers called AMINO ACIDS.
- CARBOHYDRATES are made up of monomers called MONOSACCHARIDES.
- LIPIDS are made up of monomers called FATTY ACIDS.
- NUCLEIC ACIDS are made up of monomers called NUCLEOTIDES.

Answer:
There is no scientific evidence to prove that people with schizophrenia ingest dopamine capable of accumulating excess in the body.
Explanation:
Although you did not specify that your question is associated with the origin of schizophrenia in people, we can see that this is the main topic of your question, due to its context. This is because scientists have been striving to find the origin of this disease, in order to be able to combat it in the early stages. Although many scientists believe that the origin of this disease is associated with excessive intake of dopamine, there is not strong enough scientific evidence to show that this is true. Because of this lack of evidence, filmmakers have focused on associating the origin of the disease with the sensitivity of the dopamine receptor and not with the dopain itself.
They are both happening very slowly
