C...both sperm and egg genetic material can be rearranged during their generation (meiosis).
Answer:
Hypertonic
Explanation:
In hyper-tonic solutions, the cell will shrink and crenate. The mass and volume of a gummy bear that is placed in a salt solution will decrease due to the effect of osmosis. When placed in water, a hypo-tonic solution, the gummy bear will expand in size and volume due to the water entering it.
Answer:
Each organ system performs specific functions for the body, and each organ system is typically studied independently. However, the organ systems also work together to help the body maintain homeostasis.
For example, the cardiovascular, urinary, and lymphatic systems all help the body control water balance. The cardiovascular and lymphatic systems transport fluids throughout the body and help sense both solute and water levels and regulate pressure. If the water level gets too high, the urinary system produces more dilute urine (urine with a higher water content) to help eliminate the excess water. If the water level gets too low, more concentrated urine is produced so that water is conserved. The digestive system also plays a role with variable water absorption. Water can be lost through the integumentary and respiratory systems, but that loss is not directly involved in maintaining body fluids and is usually associated with other homeostatic mechanisms.
Similarly, the cardiovascular, integumentary, respiratory, and muscular systems work together to help the body maintain a stable internal temperature. If body temperature rises, blood vessels in the skin dilate, allowing more blood to flow near the skin’s surface. This allows heat to dissipate through the skin and into the surrounding air. The skin may also produce sweat if the body gets too hot; when the sweat evaporates, it helps to cool the body. Rapid breathing can also help the body eliminate excess heat. Together, these responses to increased body temperature explain why you sweat, pant, and become red in the face when you exercise hard. (Heavy breathing during exercise is also one way the body gets more oxygen to your muscles, and gets rid of the extra carbon dioxide produced by the muscles.)
Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
Recall that: <em>Water potential = pressure potential + solute potential</em>
Since the system is an open one;
<em>Water potential = solute potential = -iCRT</em>
i = number of particles the molecle will make in water (1)
C = molar concentration
R = Pressure constant = 0.0831 liter bar/mole K
T = temperature in kelvin = 22 + 273 = 295 K
To calculate water potential on side A:
C = 1 M
Water potential = - (1 x 1 x 0.0831 x 295) = -24.51 bars
For side B:
C = 2 M
Water potential = - (1 x 2 x 0.0831 x 295) = -49.03 bars
b.
<em>Since side A has higher water potential than side B, water will flow from side A to side B until equilibrium is established between the two sides. Water always flows from the region of higher water potential to the region of lower water potential.</em>
