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

Biology

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 does the release of energy and nutrients from digestion help the rest of the body's systems?
olasank [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The main goal of metabolism is for the ultimate release of energy. Energy is simply a function of the ability to do work. In this context, we consider energy in one of it forms, chemical energy.

The chemical energy obtained through digestion of food mostly in the form of glucose is the fuel for almost all of life's processes. This chemical form of energy serves as the power house for our functioning.

Energy is required by the brain to power it and carry out its function. Without energy being supplied to the brain, there won't be a living being.

Energy is needed for locomotion and other life activities. The muscles, bones and other appendages gets their coordination power from the energy released during metabolic processes.

It can be said that all life activities revolves round how organisms obtains and utilize energy.

Nutrients are the nourishment we derive from feeding. The nutrients helps to build our body parts e.g proteins. Energy are derieved from carbohydrates. Fats and oil are also energy sources and they help life functions. Vitamins and minerals supplies needed materials to make everyday life activities successful.
