What will be the effect of placing a plant cell in a hypotonic solution?

Biology

vesna_86 [32]3 years ago

Because plant cells have a rigid cell wall around them, they act differently than animal cells. When placed in a hypotonic solution, the cell will take in water and start to swell. However, the cell wall prevents it from bursting. It becomes turgid and the pressure inside the cell will increase until it is the same pressure as outside the cell.

Answer:

The cell will swell and explode

Explanation:

Due to the solute's concentration is bigger inside the cell, because of osmosis process, the solute will move from inside the cell to the outside, which is the hypotonic solution. Also, in the hypotonic solution, solvent concentration is bigger than solute concentration, so then by osmosis as well, the solvent (water) will move to inside the cell making it swell and explode.

Achondroplastic dwarfism is autosomal dominant condition caused by a gene on chromosome number 4. Color blindness is an X-linked
klio [65]

Answer:

All of their sons would be colour blind

Explanation:

Given that colour blindness is X linked recessive condition which means that the gene is located on X chromosome and when present in recessive homozygous condition, it will be expressed. Hence if XC is dominant allele and Xc is recessive allele, XcY and XcXc will be colourblind.

The male has normal vision and males have only one X chromosome so his genotype is XCY.

The female is colourblind and females have two X chromosomes so her genotype is XcXc.

Their children:

       XC       Y

Xc  XCXc XcY

Xc  XCXc  XcY

All the sons have XcY genotype where gene for colourblindness is in recessive condition hence all of their sons would be colourblind.

suter [353]

Answer:

It will plateau and the population will stabilize in relationship to available resources.

Explanation:

Having an unhinged rabbit population with no predators and an abundance of food will cause the population to initially increase. This increase will be due to an environment free from predation and also encouraged by an abundance of food.

In time these rabbits will increase in number and will put a strain on food supply. Dwindling resources will put pressure on reproduction. In addition to this these have a limited gene pool since they have been only reproducing with each other. This will pass along any disease sensitivity that they may have. In the even that a disease is introduced into the population many of them will be wiped out.

In conclusion, without a constant food supply to support a growing population the rabbit population will not multiply exponentially, indefinitely.

Mathematically, the biomass in the ocean contributes __________ times more grams of npp per year per gram than an equivalent gra
svetlana [45]

Answer;

-Over 4000

Mathematically, the biomass in the ocean contributes over 4000 times more grams of NPP per year per gram than an equivalent gram of plant biomass in a terrestrial ecosystem.

Explanation;

-Living biomass forms a tiny fraction of Total Ocean carbon but has a very significant influence on the ocean carbon cycle. Every gram of biomass of the primary producers in the ocean contributes more to NPP per year than plant biomass of terrestrial ecosystems.

-In marine ecosystems, phytoplankton is the main source of primary production. The nutrient availability cycles make it important to distinguish between new and regenerated primary production ; the former identifies the annually renewed nitrogen, while the second measures the rapid cycling of nitrogen through ammonia availability.
