Please refer to attached photo:

1st container: isotonic solution, the concentrations of solutes that cannot cross the plasma membrane are the same on both sides of the membrane in this solution, * its equal

middle container: hypotonic, a solution that has a LOWER concentration of solutes than the cytosol inside the RBC's - water molecules enter the cells faster than they leave causing the RBC to swell and eventually burst *hemolysis

last container: hypertonic solution, has a HIGHER concentration of solutes than does the cytosol inside RBCs, water molecules move out of the cells faster than they enter causing the cells to shrink *crenation

_____ phase is the period during the life of a cell between the end of mitosis and the synthesis of more genetic material.

laiz [17]

<span>Ans: G1 phase Explanation: Preparation of a newborn division happens in three steps: G1 phase, G2 phase and S phase. In G1 phase, the cell grows physically larger, copies organelles, and makes the molecular building blocks it will need in later steps. mitosis is the process in which the nuclear DNA of the cell condenses into visible chromosomes and is pulled apart by the mitotic spindle, a specialized structure made out of microtubules.</span>

Can I get some help with 1 and 2

ikadub [295]

For number one, wolves may eat fish instead of larger animals because those larger animals may be going into hibernation and also the berries that a wolf may eat has also gone out of season, leaving the only choice really being fish.

For number two, over harvesting salmon is pretty bad when it comes to the environment. it takes away food from predators, like the wolves in number one, so they lose a source of food and it also takes away the salmons ability to eat the smaller organisms in the stream, so they're going to become overpopulated.

Explain why protecting surviving rainforests from deforestation is important to fighting cancer.

Rufina [12.5K]

<span>Some 120 prescription drugs sold worldwide today are derived directly from rainforest plants. And according to the U.S. National Cancer Institute, more than two-thirds of all medicines found to have cancer-fighting properties come from rainforest plants. Examples abound. Ingredients obtained and synthesized from a now-extinct periwinkle plant found only in Madagascar (until deforestation wiped it out) have increased the chances of survival for children with leukemia from 20 percent to 80 percent.</span>

How can two parents who show the dominant trait have offspring who shows the recessive trait? Give an example to support your an

natta225 [31]

Answer:

One example of a recessive inherited trait is a smooth chin, as opposed to a dominant cleft chin. Let (S) represent the dominant allele, and (s) represent the recessive allele. Only (ss) individuals will express a smooth chin. To determine the probability of inheritance of a smooth chin (or any other recessive trait), the genotypes of the parents must be considered. If one parent is heterozygous (Ss) and the other is homozygous recessive (ss), then half of their offspring will have a smooth chin.

Explain the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Explanation:

photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose.glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen as a by-product.

cellular respiration convert oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide water carbon dioxide a byproduct and ATP is energy that is transformed from a process.
