Suppose a human blood cell containing a 0.9 percent solute concentration were put into a container of 0 percent solute solution

(i.E., distilled water). Would the blood cell get bigger or smaller? Why? In your explanation, you must tell me which area has the hypotonic solution (inside the blood cell or outside the blood cell), which area has the hypertonic solution (inside the blood cell or outside the blood cell), and which direction the water would be moving (into the cell or out of the cell).

Answer and explanation:

If a human blood cell with a 0.9% solute concentration were to be put into a container of 0% solute solution, the cell would get BIGGER.

<u>The cell contains a </u><u>more concentrated solution</u><u> than the solution in the container</u>. The difference in concentration would produce an <em>osmotic gradient</em> that would cause water from the container to get inside the cell to even the concentrations - this is going to make the cell much bigger because the entering water would bloat the cell.

In this example, the solution in the container is hypotonic in relation to the cell, while the solution inside the cell is hypertonic in relation to the solution in the container. This is why the water will be moving from outside of the cell to the inside of the cell.

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c, that is,<em> zygomatic arch. </em>

Explanation:

In anatomy, a section of the skull produced by the temporal bone’s zygomatic process and the zygomatic bone’s temporal process is known as the cheekbone or the zygomatic arch. Temporal bone refers to a bone, which protrudes frontward from the skull side, that is, over the opening of the ear, while the zygomatic bone is the lateral to the cheekbone.  

When a blow takes place to the cheek then the superficial bone or the part of the bone that breaks most likely is the zygomatic arch.

Question 1: DNA remains in the nucleus. mRNA can travel in and out of the nucleus. Explain how the function of DNA and mRNA diff
fomenos

DNA molecules is a nucleic acid which carries genetic information for the synthesis of proteins that carry out various processes in all organisms and is found in the nucleus of a cell.

Messenger RNA on the other hand is a type of RNA that carries genetic information copied from DNA, for the purpose of protein synthesis.

DNA encodes the information necessary to produce the proteins needed by your body. To make these proteins, DNA first undergoes a process known as transcription.

Transcription is the process that takes place in the nucleus of a cell, where the information on the DNA strand is transferred to a molecules known as mRNA. This process is catalyzed by the enzyme RNA polymerase.

The mRNA is a type of RNA which carries the information from the DNA for protein synthesis. The mRNA moves from the nucleus to the cytoplasm to special organelles called ribosomes where proteins are synthesized.
