If cells are placed in a hypertonic solution containing a solute to which the membrane is impermeable, what could happen?

finlep [7]3 years ago

Answer: A

 The cells would lose water and shrink. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solute is higher than water in a cell. With this, there is a net movement of water from inside to outside initiating water to lose from the cytoplasm and vacuole causing the cell to shrink due to osmosis and achieve equilibrium.

This process is applied in food preservation where microbial cells will be dehydrated in a hypertonic environment, making them malfunction and preventing them to cause food spoilage.

How can a small change to the temperature of ocean water have a big effect on a tropical depression?
makkiz [27]
Heat waves can be dangerous, causing illnesses such as heat cramps and heat stroke, or even death. Warmer temperatures can also lead to a chain reaction of other changes around the world. That's because increasing air temperature also affects the oceans, weather patterns, snow and ice, and plants and animals.

What does a cell need to be a prokaryote cell? <br><br> please help me i’m stuck !!
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

<h3>The Prokaryotic Cell</h3>

Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that lack organelles or other internal membrane-bound structures. Therefore, they do not have a nucleus, but, instead, generally have a single chromosome: a piece of circular, double-stranded DNA located in an area of the cell called the nucleoid.

PLEASE HELP ME NOW!!!! (NOT FOR BEGINNER)
Semenov [28]

Answer:

1. C.

2. D

3. D.

4. D.

Explanation:

1. Landslides can be initiated in slopes already on the verge of movement by rainfall, snowmelt, changes in water level, stream erosion, changes in ground water, earthquakes, volcanic activity, disturbance by human activities, or any combination of these factors.

2. Landslides are geologic phenomena that can happen suddenly or through imperceptively slow downslope movement. ... A "translational" landslide can happen rapidly and result in all of the soil on a hillside being stripped off and filling the area at the bottom of the slope.

3. Sedimentary rock contains fossils because it was built up layer upon layer, often trapping and preserving animals, plants, footprints, and more within the layers of sediment.

4. The Uplift of the Colorado Plateau. The Kaibab Limestone, the uppermost layer of rock at Grand Canyon, was formed at the bottom of the ocean. ... The action of plate tectonics lifted the rocks high and flat, creating a plateau through which the Colorado River could cut down.

<em>Hope this helps! :D</em>
