In an experiment, you create two groups of liposomes in a solution containing 0.1 M NaCl—one made from red blood cell membranes

and the other from frog egg cell membranes. When the liposomes are placed in water, those with red blood
cell membranes burst more rapidly than those made from egg membranes. Evaluate each of the following statements and identify those that could explain these results.

• T/F The red blood cell liposomes are more hypertonic relative to water than the frog egg liposomes.
• T/F The red blood cell liposomes are more hypotonic relative to water than the frog egg liposomes.
• T/F The red blood cell liposomes contain more aquaporins than the frog egg liposomes.
• T/F The frog egg liposomes contain ion channels, which are not present in the red blood cell liposomes.

Answer:

As liposomes with red blood cell membranes burst more rapidly than those made from egg membranes, we consider these liposomes as more hypertonic respect to water, than those derived from frog egg cells.

Explanation:

Osmosis is a process where water can cross a semipermeable membrane in a gradient way.  Water tends to move from a high concentration of solvent to a low concentration.  Then, water goes in through the liposome to dilute its solute content, as it's not easy for molecules inside to go out of the usually impermeable membrane bilayers.

Match each organ or function with its body system. Skin excretes waste nails kidneys bladder provides exterior barrier
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

<u>Skin:</u> The skin acts as a barrier against external agents that could affect such as microorganisms, changes in temperature, etc.

<u>Excretes waste:</u> The excretion process, is done mainly by lungs (release of carbon dioxide), kidneys (elimination of excess compounds such as nitrogen) and the skin (sweat regulates temperature but also regulates the concentration of salts within the body)

<u>Nails:</u> It protects the soft tissues surrounding the distal phalanx, but it also exerts pressure over on the digits which allows more precission in the movements.

<u>Kidneys:</u> Eliminate waste from the blood and regulate body fluids, by generating urine.

<u>Bladder:</u> In charge of storing the urine produced by the kidneys, for the urination process to be controlled and not so frecuent.
