Answer: c. it will contract

Explanation:

An Erythrocyte is a Red Blood Cell and like all cells, when put in a Hypertonic solution (solution with a higher concentration of solutes than the cell) it will undergo a process known as Crenation.

Crenation occurs when due to Osmosis, water particles move out of the cell and into the solution because the solution is more concentrated with solutes than the cell. This causes the cell to SHRINK or CONTRACT.

I have attached a diagram to further describe it.

It consists of just a few kinds of atoms: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Combinations of these atoms form the sugar-phosphate backbone of the DNA -- the sides of the ladder, in other words. Other combinations of the atoms form the four bases: thymine (T), adenine (A), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The goal you choose needs to be a SMART goal. What that means is, the goal needs to be specific, like instead of 'getting my grades up' it could be 'getting my algebra grade to a B'. Just something more specific. Then, Measurable, which means, you are able to measure how close you are to your goal. If you can't tell just how close you are to your goal, it is not measurable. Then, Actionable. Which means, are you able to put it into action? Are you able to start that goal? And then, Realistic... If your goal is to go to space, you need to think about how realistic that goal actually is. Not many people get to go to space. And finally, timebound. You need to have a set deadline, to push yourself into actually accomplishing the goal.

Hope this helps!
