This membrane mimics the plasma membrane that is around animal cells. In order to explore how water moves in and out of a cell, one cell was weighed and then submerged in hypertonic solution. The other egg was weighted and submerged in hypotonic solution. It was predicted that the egg submerged in hypertonic solution would decrease in mass. It was predicted that the egg submerged in hypotonic solution would increase in mass.
Explanation:
The outermost covering of an animal cell is the plasma membrane. It is a selectively permeable membrane that allows only selective molecules to pass through it.
A solution having higher concentration of solute than the cell cytoplasm is called a hypertonic solution.
A solution having lower concentration of solute than the cell cytoplasm is called the hypotonic solution.
The movement of water molecules from the region of its higher concentration to the region of its lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane is called osmosis.
A cell placed in hypertonic solution will undergo exosmosis so it will lose water and its mass will decrease.
A cell placed in hypotonic solution will undergo endosmosis of water so it will gain water and its mass will increase.
The same ligand can bind to different receptors causing different responses (e.g.. acetylcholine). On the other hand, different ligands binding to different receptors can produce the same cellular response (e.g. glucagon, epinephrine).

Answer: The redirection of blood flow from one organ system to another is an outcome of coordinated vasomotion – constriction of precapillary sphincters and capillary blood vessels in tissues where blood flow is discouraged, and dilation in tissues where blood flow is promoted.
Explanation:
Answer:
The correct answer will be option-C
Explanation:
Mammals are warm-blooded animals that are they need to maintain the internal temperature irrespective of the external temperature at a constant rate or 37° C.
In cold conditions the person exposing the body parts to cold conditions response either by producing heat or conserving the heat in the body.
If a person removes the gloves, then a physiological change leads to the change in the diameter of the blood vessels. The diameter of the blood vessels reduces which reduces the loss of heat from the body as constriction of the blood vessels decreases the surface area to be exposed to cold conditions.
Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
