B. I, II, III
Mollusks have 3-chambered heat. They have gills and they have 1-way digestion.
Other characteristics of mollusks are:
1) Bilaterally symmetrical
2) Body has more than two cell layers, tissues and organs
3) body without cavity
4) body monomeric and highly variable in form, may possess a dorsal or lateral shells of protein and calcarous spicules.
5) has a nervous system with a circum-oesophagal ring, ganglia and paired nerve chords
6) has an open circulatory system with heart and aorta
7) has a pair of kidneys
8) reproduction normally sexual and gonochoristic
9) feed a wide range of material
10) live in most environment
The best answer in this case is C, "the researchers applied creativity to solve a problem in running an experiment".
Distributing the computing load across the global community by sharing processing power is a creative response to tackle the challenge in simulating protein folding for the experiment. This does not change or reduce the scientific merits of the experiment, so we can discount the first two answers (a & b). Answer d talks about well established scientific techniques, although the question wasn't really centered around the specific techniques, so it's not as relevant an answer as C.
Red blood cells will swell and burst.
The reason behind this is that red blood cells are okay when they are in the plasma (the watery part of the blood) because the solutes in plasma are so well balanced that plasma is rendered isotonic. An isotonic solution is a type of solution that has the same salt concentration as its surrounding environment and thus the substances around it e.g. cells neither gain nor lose water. In the blood plasma, the red blood cells neither lose nor gain water and so they remain intact.
However distilled water is hypotonic (has less or no solutes) and therefore osmosis will take place when red blood cell which have a higher solute concentration are placed in it. Water molecules will leave the distilled water and pass into the red blood cells through the semi-permeable membrane of the cells in an attempt to equalize the difference in osmotic pressure on either side of the membrane. In so doing, water will accumulate in the cell which will then swell to capacity and ultimately burst.
Answer:
cell membrane is the answer
