Answer:
Animal cells tend to do best in an isotonic environment, plant cells tend to do best in
a hypotonic environment. This is demonstrated in the attached PDF.
Explanation:
A cell that does not have a rigid cell wall, such as a red blood cell, will swell and lyse (burst) when placed in a hypotonic solution, a process called cytolysis. Cells with a cell wall will swell when placed in a hypotonic solution, but once the cell is turgid (firm), the tough cell wall prevents any more water from entering the cell. When placed in a hypertonic solution, a cell without a cell wall will lose water to the environment, shrivel, and probably die. In a hypertonic solution, a cell with a cell wall will lose water too. The plasma membrane pulls away from the cell wall as it shrivels, a process called plasmolysis.
I hope this helps. If not I am really sorry!
- "This energy is usually in the form of low-level thermal energy. It is only possible to extract work when there is a temperature difference, so low-level thermal velocity; this means that the force of friction and the applied force are equal in magnitude."
- "An energy transformation is the change of energy from one form to another. Energy transformations occur everywhere every second of the day. There are many different forms of energy such as electrical, thermal, nuclear, mechanical, electromagnetic, sound, and chemical."
Semen is the thick fluid that contains the sperm that is basic in nature, thus protecting it from the acidic nature of the vagina.
