A family takes its summer vacation at a beach resort. Six-year-old Timmy spends the entire morning in a swimming pool. When his

mother finally gets him out and dries him off, she remarks that his fingers and toes are "wrinkled up just like a prune." Prunes start their lives as plums. They get their characteristic wrinkles by dehydration. Sitting for hours in water is anything except dehydration. How can you solve this mystery? Use the Internet to investigate the wrinkling of a prune and the wrinkling of the skin when it is immersed in water. Be sure to relate your discussion of this topic to the process of osmosis.

Lemur [1.5K]3 years ago

Answer: Water diffuses into the skin via sweat ducts which alters the electrolyte balance. electrolytes can be salts like sodium and potassium. This alters the stability of neurons causing blood vessels to constrict therefore decreasing the amount of fluid in the fingers which would normally give the skin tension. The decrease causes wrinkles.

Explanation: I had that answer before and it was really hard to understand it, I hope this helps you. Best Of Luck!

Which of the following pairs is mismatched? Select one: a. endoderm - bone b. mesoderm - muscle c. ectoderm - skin d. neuroectod
HACTEHA [7]

Answer: a. endoderm-bone

Explanation: In the context of embryonic development, bone tissue may arise from several precursor cell populations, such as the neural crest (some facial bones), lateral mesoderm (bones of the limbs, among others), and paraxial mesoderm (vertebrae and part of the skull). There is no evidence to suggest that any of the bony structures is derived from the endoderm germ layer.
