Answer:

Hope it helps

Explanation:

The oncotic pressure inside the cell will be greater than the pressure outside. Thus causing the cell membrane to rupture. If red blood cells are placed in pure water, water enters into the red blood cells by osmosis and the red blood cells swell up and burst while the onion cells would absorb water due to osmosis, swell and become turgid.The cell sap move conc. than surrounding water gate into the cell by osmosis; the cell swells/becomes turgid; but does not burst due to the cell wall.

hodyreva [135]

Fats, steroids and waxes are some of the most common types of lipids. Lipids are non-polar hydrocarbons because of the presence of non-polar carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds in there structure.

Generally, polar molecules are soluble in water while non-polar molecules are insoluble in water, hence, lipids do not dissolve in water. There non-polarity also makes them a suitable component in the selectively permeable biological cell membrane.

Both Gymnosperms and Angiosperms bear seeds, then why are they classified separately?
Radda [10]

In gymnosperms the seeds are not produced inside the fruit but in angiosperms the seeds are enclosed inside the fruit so they are classified separately.

In general ,Gymnosperms are considered as flowerless plants and are not enclosed inside seeds whereas angiosperms are plants that have flowers. Adding to this, the difference or the basis of classification is on the presence of an ovary.

Hence, gymnosperms and angiosperms both bears seeds, and they are also classified differently . The reason behind this is in case of gymnosperms the seeds are not produced inside the fruit but in case of angiosperms the seeds are enclosed inside the fruit.

When an oncologist is teaching about how radiation induces genomic instability, which topic should the oncologist discuss?
Volgvan
He/she is talking about genetic disorders. Interesting topic. An oncologist is a cancer specialist so I don't know the specific cancer disorder but I'm sure there is one.
