Answer:

The mass of the cube would increase if the water moved into the potato cube or the mass of the potato cube would decrease if the water moved out of the potato cube after placing it in the beaker.

Osmosis can be described as a process by which water moves from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration along the concentration gradient. It is a type of passive transport.

If the potato cube is placed in water, most likely the water will enter into the cell as the concentration of solutes will be more in the potato cube and the concentration of water will be less. Hence, the mass of the potato cube would increase.

Answer:

The correct answer is option B, that is, the cells of the animal body are defective in endocytosis.

Explanation:

In the given case, in my opinion, one should perform the experiment in a similar manner with no change. An experiment is done many times in order to omit any influences of sampling or handling on the outcomes of the study. For this purpose, the repetitive experiments have to be performed in a similar way as the previous ones were performed. After that, the outcomes of the repetitive experiment and the initial one are compared.  

If any conditions or variables are changed in the experiment, the outcomes of the repeated experiment cannot be compared with the initial one. As variations in experimental material, variables, or procedure would have influenced the outcomes.

What will happen to living systems if bicaarbonate, citrate and phosphate buffers didn't exist?
WARRIOR [948]
Buffers such as bicarbonate buffer, citrate buffer and phosphate buffer are important in living system. pH of blood is near to neutrality (7.4). If the pH of blood increases, these buffers help in maintaining the blood pH. Increase in blood pH leads to certain diseases such as alkalosis. This further leads to muscle spasm and respiratory diseases.

Bicarbonate buffer helps to maintain the blood pH if it falls towards acidic range or increases towards alkalinity. It helps in decreasing acidity and increasing alkalinity by forming carbon dioxide gas. Increase in blood pH towards alkalinity is also maintained by excreting the bicarbonates into the urine. Similar action is also seen in case of phosphate buffer and citrate buffer.

Answer: If these buffers are not present in a living system then the change of pH cannot be altered or put back to normal. These buffers help to maintain the pH of the living system so that cells can work properly.

What can be said about the polarity of water
Ierofanga [76]
Water's polarity can be responsible for many of it's properties including it's attractiveness to other molecules.  Water molecules attract one another based on the attraction between the positive end of one water molecule and the negative end of the other. Also the unequal sharing of electrons gives the molecules a slight negative charge near it's oxygen atom and a slight positive charge in it's hydrogen molecule.
