A single celled paramedic is placed in a hypotonic solution.what will happen to the cell?​

Biology

Gnesinka [82]3 years ago

When a single celled paramedic is placed in a hypotonic solution, the cell swells and then bursts.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Hypotonic solutions are the solutions that contain more water than present in a cell. Hence, when an animal cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, the cell will undergo osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of any form of solvent through a plasma membrane to a higher concentration from a lower concentration until the the external concentration matches the inner one.

To put it in simple words, when a single animal cell is places in a solution which has more water than other solutes, the water will invade the cell until it can accumulate the amount that equalizes the inner and external concentration. The cell will begin to swell up until there is no more space and finally, it will burst. For example, when you put water on a cloth that has blood stain on it, the cells will burst and make the stain worse than before.

Defensive chemicals are usually found in unripe fruit but not in ripe fruit. In terms of coevolution, why might this be?
vichka [17]
The basic reason why unripe fruits have defensive chemicals is that they need to protect the seeds that are not ready to germinate. On the other hand, the seeds of the ripe fruits are ready to germinate and so they need to get spread with the help of animals and birds and so there are no defensive chemicals. These seeds spread to different places and the soils help them to germinate under suitable conditions.

Does the moon or sun have the greatest impact of earth? and why?
sesenic [268]

Answer:

While the sun and moon both have tremendous impacts on earth, the sun definitely has the greater impact.

Explanation:

This is because while the moon's gravitational pull has a great effect on the ocean and tides, the sun literally heats up the planet to the exact inhabitable degree, as well as makes up our day/night schedule

Domestic cats transfer their genetic information to their offspring by meiosis. If a kitten has 38 chromosomes, how many chromos
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Since domestic cats reproduce through meiosis, each parent gives off half of their genetic code (or DNA) to their offspring. The answer would be B, 19 chromosomes because that is half of 38. That is why when a parent gives birth to their child, they don't look exactly the same or act exactly the same as either of their parents. They are a mix of both, which is another explanation for why no two people look exactly alike.

You may wonder, a domestic cat births more than one offspring at a time. If multiple offspring share the same parents, why don't they look the same? The reason for that is because the half DNA that the parent is giving off is a different half than they gave to another offspring, if that makes any sense.

Hope that helped you! :)
