If a red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the cell would shrink.
Hypertonic solution means that the solution has a lower water potential than the other side (which is the cell's cytoplasm in this case), and by that, water molecules would have a tendency to flow from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential. This movement of water molecules is called osmosis. But note that a semi-permeable membrane (a membrane which can decide what substances can go in and out, the cell membrane is an example) has to be present in osmosis, or else the movement may be regarded as diffusion.
As the water molecules flowed away from the red blood cell cytoplasm, the cell loss so much water that the membrane has nothing much to hold and thus the cell shrinks.
Answer:
The correct answer is principle of superimposition.
Explanation:
According to the superimposition principle, in the undisturbed rocks, the youngest rocks are situated on the top and the oldest rocks are found in the bottom. The phenomenon takes place due to withering. The rocks get withered because of the influence of air and water.
The soil particles or the sediments get gathered at another site. The deposits of sediments get concentrated with time and result in the production of rocks. The mature rocks get surrounded by the layers of sediments with time passing by. These sediments get concentrated again to produce novel rocks. Through this procedure, the fresh young rocks get produced over the older ones.
1, as the energy comes from the sun, then plants get it through photosynthesis, and finally the consumers obtain the energy from consuming animals on a lower trophic level than themselves. energy cannot flow down the food chain, only up.
Answer:
I beleive its somthing close to a pig
Explanation:
The DNA sequence is closest to the pig . The amino acids Gly, Thr, Leu, and Ala are from the "unknown animal." On the worksheet, the pigs amino acids are Gly, Thr, Phe, and Ala. There is only one different amino acid between the two.
I might be wrong but there u go
