If stranded on a deserted island with no freshwater, it is not advisable to drink sea water. Why not? A) The salty snacks cause

an ionic imbalance that triggers a nervous response. B) The salt in the body creates a hypertonic solution around cells, which causes water to diffuse out of cells and make them crenate. C) The salt in the body creates a hypotonic solution around cells, which causes water to diffuse into cells and make them cytolyse. Eliminate D) The salt in the body creates an isotonic solution around cells, which causes water to diffuse into and out of cells which makes them unstable.

solong [7]
Folds, wrinkles, etc!
by folding the membrane of an organelle, surface area is optimized while volume remains the same. that is why mitochondria looks folded on the inside when you see pictures of it. the higher the surface area to volume ratio, the more efficient the organelle.

The coracobrachialis muscle originates on the __________.
Travka [436]

Answer:

Option C, coracoid process of the scapula

Explanation:

Coracobrachialis muscle is one of the essential muscles that is responsible for the movement of elbow along with biceps brachii and triceps muscles.  

The coracobrachialis arises from the coracoid process of the scapula. It assists the elbow in flexion and internal rotation. Musculocutaneous nerve passes through the Coracobrachialis muscle and terminates at the lateral end of the cutaneous nerve of the forearm. However, the Coracobrachialis terminates at the humerus and its medial surface

Hence, option C is correct

1. Parasites

2. herbivores

3. phagocytosis

4. Plant

5. oxygen (O2)

6. gills

7. open

8. urea

9. Single-loop circulatory systems have one direction of blood flow. Typically in fish, oxygen is absorbed in the gills, flows in blood to the body organs, and back to the heart, which pumps it directly back to the gills. In double-loop circulatory systems, the heart has multiples of each chamber. Part of the heart pumps blood to the lungs, to get oxygen. This blood flows back to a different chamber where it then gets pumped to the body. Once its oxygen has been used up, it goes back to the heart to be pumped all over again to the lungs.

10. Freshwater animals have lower water and higher salt concentrations than the environment in their cells. This means water constantly tries to diffuse into the animals, which can bloat them. They have special cell processes that remove extra water.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

C. their gametes do not require water for fertilization to occur.

Explanation:

Seed bearing plants are plants that produce seeds. The gametes of seed-bearing plants do no depend on water for fertilization. Fertilization could occur through the transfer of pollen from the male gametophtye to the female gametophyte through animals or wind.

Unlike other plant types like the bryophytes, they rely on water for fertilization. They so have xylem and phloem as well as other plants. They also have stems,roots and leaves like other plants.
