Differentiate the osmosis in hypertonic and hypotonic solutions.

Biology
1 answer:
Nataly_w [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A cell is in a hypertonic solution, the solution has a lower water concentration than the cell cytosol, and water moves out of the cell until both solutions are isotonic. Cells placed in a hypotonic solution will take in water across their membranes until both the external solution and the cytosol are isotonic.

▪️Chapter - The fundamental unit of life
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The difference between Prokaryotic cell and Eukaryotic cell are;

\begin{array}{lll}&\underline {\text {Prokaryotic}}& \underline {\text {Eukaryotic}}\\ \\ \text {Nuclear \ membrane \ and \ nucleus} & \text {No \ true \ nucleus \ or}    & \text {Has \ a \ true \ nucleus} \\& \text {nuclear \  membrane} & \text {nucleoli \ and \ nuclear \ membrane}\\\\ \text {Membrane \ bound \ cell \ organelle} & \text {None &Present} \\\\ \text {Chromosome \ number \ and \ shape} & \text {One} & \text {Several, more \ than \ one} \end{array}

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cells

The plasma membranes surround prokaryotic cells, however, within their cytoplasm, there are no organelles bound to the membrane and there is no nucleus in the prokaryotic cell which differentiates it from the eukaryotic cells

Eukaryotic cells

Eukaryotic cells also have plasma membranes, ribosomes and cytoplasm. Eukaryotic cells also have membrane-bound nucleus, membrane bound organelles, such as chloroplast, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus which together differentiates it from a prokaryotic cell

What is it called when a living thing copies the appearance of another living thing as a mean of protection?
anygoal [31]

Answer:

It is called mimicry when a living thing copies the appearance of another living thing as a means of protection.

Explanation:

Mimicry is used primarily by living things as a means for protection and to decrease the chances of the living thing being killed. For example, a frog that is prey to a toad could have bright colors (bright color frogs are often poisonous) that don't mean anything to the frog and it's species, but to the toad, the frog is poisonous and should not be eaten, so the toad does not eat the frog because it is brightly colored.

Without mimicry, the frog would have been eaten because it wouldn't have had looked like a poisonous frog, or something that the toad would avoid.

What is not true regarding fenestrated capillaries?
dangina [55]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

Which of the following is not true regarding fenestrated capillaries?

A) Fenestrated capillaries in endocrine organs allow hormones rapid entry into the blood.

B) Fenestrated capillaries in the small intestine receive nutrients from digested food.

C) Fenestrated capillaries are essential for filtration of blood plasma in the kidney.

D) Fenestrated capillaries form the blood-brain barrier.

Answer:

Fenestrated capillaries form the blood-brain barrier.

Explanation:

The fenesterated capillaries are small fine thin capillaries that helps in the exchange of substances. These capillaries are mainly found in the kidney, small intestine and glands.

The fenestrted capillaries allow the exchnage of hormone in the blood and in the kidney for the filtration. The nutrients can be easily exchanged by the capillaries present in the small intestine. The blood brain barrier function is not performed by the fenesterated capillaries. They allows the rapid exchange function and not as the barrier.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
