This membrane mimics the plasma membrane that is around animal cells. In order to explore how water moves in and out of a cell, one cell was weighed and then submerged in hypertonic solution. The other egg was weighted and submerged in hypotonic solution. It was predicted that the egg submerged in hypertonic solution  would decrease in mass. It was predicted that the egg submerged in hypotonic solution would increase in mass.

Explanation:

The outermost covering of an animal cell is the plasma membrane. It is a selectively permeable membrane that allows only selective molecules to pass through it.

A solution having higher concentration of solute than the cell cytoplasm is called a hypertonic solution.

A solution having lower concentration of solute than the cell cytoplasm is called the  hypotonic solution.

The movement of water molecules from the region of its higher concentration to the region of its lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane is called osmosis.

A cell placed in hypertonic solution will undergo exosmosis so it will lose water and its mass will decrease.

A cell placed in hypotonic solution  will undergo endosmosis of water  so it will gain water and its mass will increase.

skad [1K]

Answer:

There are three primary areas of the brain that control your sense of smell: The orbitofrontal cortex, located above and behind the eyes. The insula, which lies beneath the ears. The piriform cortex, located between the other two. Besides these three areas, there are smaller brain regions that also play a part in smell.

REY [17]

Answer:

Motor protein kinesin can "walk" along a microtubule while carrying vesicles and by changing its shape the kinesin.

Explanation:

Motor protein kinesin is an important microtubule based motor protein that  is conserved among all eukaryotic organisms. Its movement along the microtubule is ATP powered. Most of the kinesins  walk towards the plus end of the microtubule.

Due to its ability it is responsible for unidirectional transportation of cargos including membranous organelles and mRNA.
