Why a red blood cell burst when placed in water yet an onion epidermal cell does not?​

Biology
1 answer:
xxTIMURxx [149]3 years ago
3 0

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.

What makes a successful roller coaster
kolezko [41]
<span>This is a great question and I would love to hear what a roller coaster designer / engineer thinks makes a successful roller coaster. Until they show up, though, you've just got me.For me a successful roller coaster is one that fills me with dread as it makes the slow climb up the track, and then converts that dread into pure adrenaline as it takes me down and around. It's the one that makes your stomach drop as you're in freefall and makes your heart skip a beat as you take a corkscrew loop. Some roller coasters are open at the bottom so your legs dangle off. Some go backwards through a corkscrew. Those are fun additions.What I'm saying is that a good roller coaster is one that floods you with emotions as you're riding it - think about the Mummy ride at Universal Studios. It's not a particularly crazy coaster as far as thrill rides go, but the design of the ride itself is meant to fill you with anxious dread as you wait for something to happen and then launches you at breakneck speed when you least expect it. That's a good roller coaster, and I'm not even sure you'd actually call it a roller coaster.Well that's me ^.^ I hope this helps</span>
