The concentration of water differ by placing the cell in hypotonic, hypertonic or isotonic solution.

Hypertonic solution:

If a cell is placed in a hypertonic soluton, water will leave the cell, and the cell will shrink.

Isotonic solution:

The relative concentration of solute and water are equal on both sides of membrane.

Hypotonic  solution:

If cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water will enter the cell and cell would swell.

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

e. water loss through evaporation across the respiratory surface can be minimized

Explanation:

<em>Exchange of gases, otherwise known as respiration is an important process in living organisms during which food material within the body is broken down to unlock their energies for the functioning of living organisms.</em>

During gaseous exchange, oxygen gas diffuses into respiratory tissues and dissolves on respiratory surfaces while carbon dioxide diffuses in the other direction.

Respiratory surfaces are usually thin walled with moist inner surfaces that enables the dissolution of gases. Depending on the atmospheric temperature, respiratory surfaces in terrestrial organisms are at varying risks of losing moisture to the atmosphere due to evaporation.

In aquatic organisms however, evaporation from respiratory surfaces is minimized as the immediate environment is water.

Options a to d are not entirely true about water and respiration.

The correct option is e.

How do you show the probability of the genotype for a male and a female if they decide to have children?
lisov135 [29]

Answer: The genotype of a female is XX while that of a male is XY. The probability of them having a male child is 1/2 while the probability of having a female child is 1/2.

Explanation: Normally, females have two X chromosomes (XX) while males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome (XY). In a cross between a man and a woman, there is fifty percent chances of having a female child and also fifty percent chances of having a male child. Therefore, the probability of having a female child is 1/2 while the probability of having a male child is also 1/2.
