Red blood cells will swell and burst.
The reason behind this is that red blood cells are okay when they are in the plasma (the watery part of the blood) because the solutes in plasma are so well balanced that plasma is rendered isotonic. An isotonic solution is a type of solution that has the same salt concentration as its surrounding environment and thus the substances around it e.g. cells neither gain nor lose water. In the blood plasma, the red blood cells neither lose nor gain water and so they remain intact.
However distilled water is hypotonic (has less or no solutes) and therefore osmosis will take place when red blood cell which have a higher solute concentration are placed in it. Water molecules will leave the distilled water and pass into the red blood cells through the semi-permeable membrane of the cells in an attempt to equalize the difference in osmotic pressure on either side of the membrane. In so doing, water will accumulate in the cell which will then swell to capacity and ultimately burst.
Answer: protons
Explanation:
Changing the number of protons would change it into an atom of a different element.
The precursor of a mitochondrial matrix protein is found in a mutation in the tom22 signal receptor.
Tom22 and Tom20 function as N-terminal matrix targeting sequences' outer mitochondrial membrane receptor proteins. The buildup of mitochondrial matrix-targeted proteins in the cytosol due to a malfunctioning Tom22 receptor protein may be followed by cytosolic turnover of these proteins.
The N-terminal sequence, which directs the protein to mitochondria and is proteolytically processed upon import3, is produced in approximately 70% of mitochondrial precursor proteins3. To get to the matrix, they must pass via the TIM23 and TOM complexes on the inner and outer membranes, respectively.
