You haven't specified if which type of cell you are referring to. There are many types of cells and each cell would have different reactions when immersed in a beaker of distilled water. So let us take for example, the red blood cell. A distilled water is hypotonic compared to the solution contained within the cells' membranes. Therefore, t<span>he distilled water will diffuse into the red blood cells and cause them to burst. Hope this answers the question.</span>

Answer

RIBOSOMES on the ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM

Explanation:

This is the site of protein synthesis usually find attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum or  freely on the cystosol,

When they are attached to the  endoplasmic reticulum they appeared as back dots which makes the surface of ER to appear rough, hence the name ROUGH ER. Smooth ER, lacks Ribosomes, and therefore appears smooth,

Ribosomes  are made up of PROTEIN AND RNA.

They are 25nm in diameter;when viewed under high magnification, where theymade up of  two sub-units  the small and large units.

The protein synthesize by the Ribosomes are passed into the sacs  of Rough E.R  for transportation,

Basically, a complete Ribosomes is refereed to as 70S for prokaryotic ribosomes and 80S for Eukaryotic Ribisomes.This refers to their sedimentation Co-efficient in Svedberg units,the Eukaryotes sediment faster than the Prokaroytes

Which of the following substances would have the most trouble crossing a biological membrane by diffusing through the lipid bila
tangare [24]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

d. Na+

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • The cell membrane's main trait is its selective permeability, which means that it allows some substances to cross it easily, but not others.
  • <em><u>Small molecules that are non-polar (have no charge) can cross the membrane easily through diffusion, but ions (charged molecules) and larger molecules typically cannot.</u></em>
  • Charged ions  such as N+ and K+ Cannot permeate the cell membrane for the since uncharged molecules repel uncharged molecules present in the membrane structure.
