Answer:

Generally urine comprises about 95 percent water, 2 percent electrolytes, that is, ions of salts, primarily sulphates, chlorides, potassium, bicarbonates of sodium, and others, 2.6 percent urea, 0.3 percent uric acid, and small quantities of ammonia, creatinine, hormones, some of the pigments, hippuric acid, and allantoin.  

The filtration barrier comprises of the glomerular capillaries fenestrated endothelium, the filtration slits of the podocytes, and the fused basal lamina of the podocytes and the endothelial cells. The barrier allows the entry of water, small molecules, and ions from the bloodstream into the space of Bowman capsule.  

The barrier restricts passing of negatively charged and/or large proteins like albumin. The basal lamina of the filtration barrier comprises three layers. Any small molecules like glucose, water, salt, urea, and amino acids can pass freely into the Bowman's space, however, the cells, large proteins, and platelets do not.

A student removes an algae cell from its marine environment and puts it into a sample of freshwater. What will happen to the siz
Igoryamba

The size of the algal size will increase or swell when a student removes an algal cell from its marine environment and puts it into a sample of freshwater.

Tonicity refers to the concentration of a solution compared to another solution. A solution is said to be hypertonic, if it has a greater concentration of solutes than the other solution. A solution is said to be hypotonic, if it has a lower concentration of solutes than the other solution. A solution is said to be isotonic, if it has the same concentration of solutes as of the other solution.

In a marine environment, the algal cells are said to be hypertonic with a higher concentration of the solutes than the freshwater. When such a cell is placed in freshwater with hypotonic environment, the concentration of solutes in the cell is higher than the external environment. In other words, it has lesser water molecules in it. As a result, osmosis occurs which is the movement of water molecules from a region of its higher concentration to a region of its lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane and water enters the cell from the freshwater. Thus, increasing the size of the algal cell or the algal cell swells.
