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.

Rabbit ear size tends to decrease as latitude increases. this is an example of _____. (concept 23.1)
crimeas [40]

Rabbit ear size tends to decrease as latitude increases. this is an example of a cline .

A cline can be described as a change of the biological trait of a species across its geographical range. A cline can be genetic for example, change in the allele frequency, or phenotypic (change in body size). The change can be shown as continuous gradation, or it can be more abrupt from one geographic region to the next.
