Hypertonic solution means the solution with a lower water potential than the cell cytoplasm, such as salt water.
When the red blood cell is put into it, since the cell has a higher water potential than the solution, water molecules will flow from the cell back into the water due to osmosis.
Osmosis is always where water molecules flow from a region of higher water potential to lower, through a semi permeable membrane (Whcih is the red blood cell membrane in this case.)
Since water flowed out of the cell, the cell lose water and shrinks.
Hypotonic solution is where the solution that has a higher water potential than the cell cytoplasm.
So when the red blood cell is put in that solution, the water will flow from the solution into the cell this time, by osmosis.
The red blood cell will then gain so much water that the cell membrane cannot hold all and therefore burst.
A karyotype is a picture in which the chromosomes of a cell
have been stained so that the banding patterns of the chromosomes appear. This
way it is possible to view abnormalities in the chromosomes. Disorders such as aneuploidy can be diagnosed by karyotype.
It can also help identify local abnormalities on chromosomes such as abnormalities
in chromosome length, and location of the
centromere.
Answer:
The correct answer will be option- B.
Explanation:
Synovial fluid is a clear slippery fluid which is present in the synovial cavity.
The synovial fluid helps the nourishment as it provides nutrients to the and oxygen to the hyaline cartilage of the bones as well as the lubrication of the cartilage surfaces due to the viscous nature like oil which lubricates the piston.
This smooth surface facilitates the smooth and painless movements between the bones, therefore, the Option-B is the correct answer.
Phytoplankton contribute positively in the oceanic ecosystem as they are a source of food for oceanic animals. Moreover, they remove carbondioxide from the carbon cycle and utilize it for the process of photosynthesis.
