Julli [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: b. hemolysis

Explanation:

A hypotonic solution is the one where the solute concentration is less than that of the RBCs. Therefore, the solvent will enter inside the RBCs due to osmotic pressure. This will lead to the increase in concentration of the solvent inside the cells this will lead to the swallowing of the cell and with generation of the high internal pressure inside the cell the cell will burst. This will result in hemolysis.

Answer:

metabolism

Explanation:

Metabolism is a chemical reaction that involves break down of compounds to simple molecules that provide energy or synthesis of compounds. Metabolism can be classified into two; catabolism and anabolism.

Catabolism is the break down of componds through a cascade of events to provide energy in form of ATP, NADP. Anabolism is the the synthesis of compounds using energy released during catabolism to form complex structures. An example of catabolism is glycolysis and anabolism is the formation of proteins etc.

Describe why translation of an mrna can start before transcription of the mrna is complete in prokaryotes but not in eukaryotes.
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

<h2>In prokaryotes both transcription and translation occurs in cytoplasm (they lack true nucleus) while in eukaryotes, transcription occurs in nucleus while translation occurs in cytoplasm.</h2>

Explanation:

1. Prokaryotes do not have nucleus, so both transcription and translation occurs in the cytoplasm, therefor translation start before the completion of transcription.

2. While in eukaryotes, they have true nucleus, and there protein synthesis machinery (ribosomes) and  is situated in the cytoplasm.

So in eukaryotes transcription occurs in the nucleus, and after the completion of transcription, mRNA is processed and finally export into cytoplasm for translation.
