Submerging a red blood cell in distilled water will result in

Biology

nevsk [136]3 years ago

Distilled water is an illustration of a lower osmotic pressure than a particular fluid solution, meaning it has less solute in it compared to a red blood cell. The red blood cells would “want” to be in a normal contraction, which would allow water to leave and exit the red blood cell, meaning the red blood cell would stay normal and not shrink or stretch. In a hypotonic atmosphere, water would blast into the red blood cell in an attempt to reach the symmetry, which would cause the red blood cell to lengthen, and perhaps even burst.

Submerging a red blood cell in distilled water will result to the expansion of the red blood cell which may lead to bursting(hemolysis). This is because the red blood cell has a hypertonic solution and the distilled water is a hypotonic solution and in order to reach an equilibrium in terms of solution concentration the distilled water will move into the red blood cell making it expand and maybe even burst.

What do you think would happen to a protein if it were a different shape?
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Well protines come in diffrent shapes, for there diffrent functions. The first level, or primary structure, is the linear sequence of amino acids that creates the peptide chain. In the secondary structure, hydrogen bonding between different amino acids creates a three-dimensional geometry like an alpha helix or pleated sheet. An alpha helix is simply a spiral or coiled molecule, whereas a pleated sheet looks like a ribbon with regular peaks and valleys as part of the fabric. The tertiary structure describes the overall shape of the protein. Most tertiary structures are either globular or fibrous. Generally, nonstructural proteins such as enzymes are globular, which means they look spherical. The enzyme amylase is a good example of a globular protein. Structural proteins are typically long and thin, and hence the name, fibrous. Quaternary structures describe the protein's appearance when a protein is composed of two or more polypeptide chains. Often the polypeptide chains will hydrogen bond with each other in unique patterns to create the desired protein configuration.

some hormones are proteins; and some proteins are involved with digestion, respiration, reproduction, and even normal vision, just to mention a few.

f the three-dimensional structure of the protein is altered because of a change in the structure of the amino acids, the protein becomes denatured and does not perform its function as expected.

Why is red light the best for photosynthesis?
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

The primary reasons why LED fixtures emit a lot of red are 1) red LEDs are among the most efficient at converting electricity into photosynthetic photons, 2) chlorophyll strongly absorbs red light, thus it is effective at photosynthesis, and 3) red LEDs are relatively inexpensive

Which of the following perspectives emphasizes how cultural forces constantly mold human biology?
jek_recluse [69]

<u>Biocultural perspectives</u> emphasizes how cultural forces constantly mold human biology.

Explanation:

Biocultural perspectives or phenomena creates bio-social anthropological values and principles by correlating both biological and sociocultural values through a holistic approach and molds the field of human biology as a whole.  

Biocultural perspectives details about the role of biological and cultural factors in the evolution of mankind.  

One example where the biocultural perspective molds human biology is the study of population growth. This involves biological aspects like fertility, reproduction, pregnancy, childbirth etc along with sociocultural factors like geographic region, sociocultural practices, ethnicity, religion, literacy level of women, birth and death rate of the region etc.
