Answer:A) The ocean is hypertonic to the erythrocytes.

Explanation:cells shrink when placed in an hypertonic solution.

This shrinkage occurs does to the movement of water out of the cell and through the cell membrane.this phenomenon is called plasmolysis.

The movement of water out of this cell occurs through osmosis.osmosis is the movement of water from a region of high concentration of solute to a region of low concentration of solute, through a semi-permeable membrane.

In this case,sea water has a higher concentration of solute (hypertonic) and the blood cells has a lower concentration(hypotonic) .the cell membrane serves as the semi-permeable membrane and and a result water moves out of the cell

According to slide 12, what is the relationship between opportunistic infections and the number of T cells a person has? Explain
podryga [215]

Answer:

The fewer number of T cells a person has, the more chances to be affected by an opportunistic infection. When the number of T cells reaches 200 cells/µl, the person is at risk of being infected by other infections.  

Explanation:

The whole immune system of a person who is infected with HIV infection seems to be severely affected.  When the person is not treated or the disease is in a very advanced stage, the depletion of the T- cells turns to be very sharped, especially CD4+ T cells. At this point, the immune system can not resist the attack of other microorganisms. The <em>lower is the number of CD4+ T Cells, the higher possibility the person has to be attacked by opportunistic infections. </em>

Classically, it has been suggested that opportunistic infections appear after the CD4 + T lymphocytes reach very low levels, such as 200 cells/µl. The number of circulating T cells can be used as an indicator and a measure of global "immune competence", and the previously mentioned amount of CD4 + T cells is an accepted universal reference used to predict the risk of having one of these opportunistic infections.

An animal cell with a 30% salt solution is placed in a beaker with a 20% salt
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

the animal cell will burst

Explanation:

If the salt solution in the animal cell is 30%, it means the water is at a 70% concentration. Outside is 20%, so the water is 80%.

Water will enter the cell. Water is at a higher concentration outside the cell (80%) or a lower concentration inside the cell (70%) by the process of osmosis.

Eventually, the animal cell will burst, because it does not have any cell wall to control the swelling of the cell that occurs as water flows in.
