Biology

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.

<u>Answer</u>: Bacteria through the nucleoid (number 5).

<u>Explanation</u>:

Both paramecium and bacteria are single celled organisms. However, they differ by the fact that the first one is an eukaryote and the second one a prokaryote.

Furthermore, they differ in their capacity to mutate and adapt to environmental changes. Bacteria have a simple internal structure that lacks any organelles and are very adept at adapting to environmental changes. Besides their capacity for high mutation rates, they are also capable of picking up genetic information from their environment through a process called <em>transformation</em>.

Through transofrmation, environmental DNA enter the living bacteria through its cell membrane. Double stranded DNA will have one strand dissolved through hydrolysis, whereas the second strand may recombine with the bacterial <em>chromosome (nucleoid)</em>. Thus, this new genetic material will become incorporated into the bacterium's genome.
