When placed in tap water, which is a hypotonic environment, animal cells have a higher solute concentration inside of the cell compared to the tap water. ... This, however, is not the case for plant cells which has a strategy to prevent lysis when put in a hypotonic environment. So the answer to your question is D
Having two copies of the mutated genes cause sickle cell anemia, but having just one copy does not, and can actually protect against malaria - an example of how mutations are sometimes beneficial.
The majority of mutations have neither negative nor positive effects on the organism in which they occur. These mutations are called neutral mutations. Examples include silent point mutations. They are neutral because they do not change the amino acids in the proteins they encode.
Hope this helped :)
This question is asking for the number of ATP that is produced by the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain.
Citrate is the first biological substance in the citric acid cycle and it is the starting point of the cycle. From one molecule of citrate, the citric acid cycle will produce 2 ATP while the electron transport chain will produce 34 ATP. Therefore, together both the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain will produce 36 ATP.
1. The correct answer is; are body cells is going to shrink. <span>Salty seawater is a hyperosmotic solution, meaning that it has more solutes than the cell inside. The water will move (from the cell) via osmosis in order for the solutions to reach equilibrium. Also, salty solution exerts more pressure on the of the cell, so the cell will shrink.</span>

2. The correct answer cells in the fish will stay the same size. This will occur because both solutions, freshwater lake and river have similar (or equal) solute concentrations. Those solutions are called isosmotic. There is no movement of water or the solutes, so the cell stays the same.</span>
3. The correct answer is to swell. <span>This will happen because sea star egg has the same solute concentration as its first environment-ocean meaning that this solution is hyperosmotic comparing to the lake (ocean is saltier than the lake, it has more solutes). When you put the sea star egg in the lake, the water from the lake will move (via osmosis) into the egg, to reach equilibrium. Water will cause the cell to swell.</span>
