Osmosis and tonicity

Biology

The blood cells likely placed in a "hypotonic solution".

<u>Option: A</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

When human blood cells are immersed in a solution with a low concentration of solute than is present in cells, osmosis allows water to pass through the cells, allowing the cells to get swollen; such a fluid is hypotonic to the cells. But when held in a solution with a greater concentration of solute, osmosis allows water to pass out of the cell, the cell is smaller and crenated in form; then a solution is hypertonic to the cells.

Healthcare facilities preserve human blood cells in a plasma solution that has the proper salt and protein ratios. Such solution is formulated to be mildly hypertonic to the red cells, thus maintaining the integrity of the cells and avoiding hemolysis.

Cholesterol and other steroids are classified as: a) Fatty acids b) Carbohydrates c) Arachidonic acid d) Isoprenoids
Archy [21]

Answer:

A) Fatty acids

Explanation:

Sterols are the organic compounds composed of the four rings fused together, an attached hydrocarbon chain and the characteristic functional group called -OH group attached to the ring.

The steroids are the compounds which contain the fused rings (a feature of sterol) and the attached -OH group. The presence of the hydrophobic chain provide makes them insoluble in water which is considered a characteristic feature of the lipids. Therefore the steroids are considered the lipid molecule or fatty acid-containing molecules.

The cholesterol is the most common type of sterol present in the organism, especially in the animal and plants.

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.
