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.

Answer:

The correct answer is- B) Cell walls are made primarily of peptidoglycan

Explanation:

There is a difference between the cell wall of bacteria, archaea, and eukarya. The cell wall of bacteria is primarily made up of peptidoglycan which contains two sugar N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid while archaea contain two N-acetyltalosaminuronic acid (NAT) in place of N-acetylmuramic acid which is called pseudo-peptidoglycan.

Eukaryotic cell wall is also different from archaeal and bacterial cell wall and animals in eukaryotes do not have a cell wall. Therefore cell wall made up primarily of peptidoglycan will allow you to classify the organism as belonging to Bacteria but not Archaea or Eukarya.

Answer:

The Punnett square is a square diagram that is used to predict the genotypes of a particular cross or breeding experiment. It is named after Reginald C. Punnett, who devised the approach in 1905. The diagram is used by biologists to determine the probability of an offspring having a particular genotype.
