If the concentration of salt in the fluid surrounding cells decreases and the concentration of other solutes remains constant?

Biology
1 answer:
svetoff [14.1K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The cell will swell.

Explanation:

The cells react distinctly when placed in different solutions like hypertonic, isotonic and hypotonic solutions. In the mentioned question, that is, in the fluid surrounding the cells, the concentration of salt reduces, which makes the solution hypotonic. Hypotonic solution exhibit high water potential and low solute concentration.  

This makes the water move from the hypotonic solution to the inside of the cell as the osmotic movement occurs from high solvent concentration to low solvent concentration, thus, swelling of the cell takes place.

You have studied some microbes that cause disease. Understanding how microbes grow and multiply is important when identifying an
Mila [183]

Answer:

Structure: unicellular organisms (single-celled), no nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, genetic material usually composed of a single circular bacterial chromosome coiled up in a region of the cytoplasm

Function: metabolic functions are carried out in the bacterial cytoplasm

Replication: generally asexual (binary fission)

Explanation:

Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms, i.e., unicellular organisms that do not have a cell nucleus nor any membrane-bound organelles . Generally, the genetic material is composed of a single DNA circular molecule (bacterial chromosome), which is localized in a specific region of the cytoplasm (nucleoid region). Prokaryotic cells are usually smaller than eukaryotic cells (0.1 - 5 μm in size). In bacteria, metabolic functions (i.e., growth and reproduction) occur in the cytoplasm. The most important process of reproduction in bacteria is binary fission, a form of asexual reproduction where a single bacterial cell divides into two. Bacteria can also exchange genetic material by sexual reproduction mechanisms (i.e., conjugation, transformation and transduction). The main strategy to prevent outbreaks caused by bacteria is to know the conditions where they grow and reproduce. For example, <em>Salmonella</em> is a genus of infectious bacteria that may cause an outbreak. <em>Salmonella</em> infection may be prevented by eliminating conditions where they can multiply. Measures to prevent <em>Salmonella</em> outbreaks include cook food thoroughly (do not eat raw eggs or raw beef), refrigerate foods, wash hands, etc.

A client is being prepared for discharge from an ambulatory surgical clinic after a cataract extraction and an intraocular lens
lesya692 [45]

Answer: The correct answer to the question is option 1

I SHOULD CALL THE CLINIC IF MY EYE BEGINS TO HURT.

Explanation: Cataract is the opasity or clouding of the lens of the eye making it to deviate from it's normal natural transparent/clear form.It is characterised by blurry vision.Treatment of cataract is by removal of the opaque cataract and replacing it with an clear artificial lens.

Cataract extraction and intraocular lens implant is a generally safe procedure,so when pain occurs after the procedure,it indicates that infection has set in or there is bleeding in the procedure site and it is advices that when a patient notices any of these,it should be reported immediately. Certain things should be avoided after cataract extraction and intraocular lens implant, things like soap,having a bath,washing the hair can all irritate the eye so all these should be avoided from few days to atleast 2weeks after the surgery.

When the patient that has undergone cataract extraction and intraocular lens implant experiences flashes of light,it indicates they there is retinal detachment,this is not expected, but if it is experienced by the patient,it should be reported immediately too.

As mentioned earlier, cataract extraction and intraocular lens implant is generally a safe procedure and rapid improvement in vision is always recorded in some people although some other patients stay several weeks before they achieve an improvement in visual acuity.

What is natural selection? How does this work on organisms in nature? (should be at least 3 sentences)
BigorU [14]

Answer:

The natural selection is a theory made by Charles Darwin where animals better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce offspring. for example, there are about 50% of beetle that are green and 50% orange.  If crows tend to eat green beetles more, there will be more orange beetle to produce offspring so there wood then be less green beetles to be eaten by crows.

An environment can change over time and this will cause for the animals living in the environment to adapt as well. These changes will occur when an animal with undesirable traits don't survive to reproduce. The offspring of individuals that do survive to reproduce will inherit their parent's desirable traits. Over many generations, the desirable traits will be seen in more-and sometimes all- of the individuals in the population

Explanation:

That is the natural selection told in my words, but please do your best to rewrite your own sentence/paragraph. Copying another's work is called plagiarism and any teacher can automatically give you a 0% for this.

Anyway, goodluck.
