The major function of the contractile vacuole of amoeba is osmoregulation. The solute concentration found in the cell of amoeba's cytoplasm is more than the solute concentration in the freshwater that surround the external part of the organism, thus, water enter the cell through osmosis. The contractile vacuole collect the excess water and expel it through an opening in the cell membrane. By doing this, the contractile vacuole maintains the water balance in amoeba. This how the contractile vacuole normally operate.
In a situation where amoeba is placed in seawater, then water from the cell cytoplasm will rush out of amoeba cell, because of the higher salt content of the surrounding medium. The contractile vacuole will respond to the situation by increasing its contraction and pumping water out the cell in an accelerated manner, this will lead to the shrinking of the cell.
Yes! a region of the body with greater sensory acuity to have cutaneous receptors with large receptive fields, or small receptive fields.
The sensory receptor located in the skin is known as a cutaneous receptor ( the dermis or epidermis). The somatosensory system includes them. Mechanoreceptors (pressure or distortion), nociceptors (pain), and thermoreceptors are cutaneous receptors (temperature). The lowest spatial resolution is found in the thigh and calf area, whereas the fingertips have the highest spatial resolution (and the smallest receptive fields) (and largest receptive fields). Two-point discrimination threshold measurements can be used to assess the spatial resolution in response to light touch stimuli.

Answer: i cinque isomeri possibili per l'esano sono n-esano, 2-metil pentano, 3-metil pentano, 2, 3-dimetilbutano e 2, 2-dimetilbutano. - 2-metil pentano è anche chiamato isoesano. - 2, 2-dimetil butano chiamato anche Neoesano.
Explanation:
Answer:
6) unicellular means organisms contains one cell while multicellular means organisms contain more than none cell.
7) Each cell have different organells that carry different functions. For example, a cell have a organell named nucleus and its function is to store DNA
8) eukaryotic meas organisms with many cells aka are multicellular and prokaryotic means organism with single cells aka are unicellular.\
9) bunch of tissues together forms organs. and bunch of organs together forms organ system
