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.

Identify the parts of the female and male reproductive system and their functions. ​
Lena [83]

<u><em>Female:</em></u>

*Ovaries - release of oocytes (eggs), estrogen and progesterone.

*Oviducts (fallopian tubes) - where fertilization of the oocyte occurs to form a zygote.

*Uterus - where the zygote develops

*Cervix and vagina - allow for the entry of sperm for fertilization

<u><em>Male:</em></u>

*Testes - Releases testosterone and sperm

*Vas deferens - Passageway for sperm

*Epididymis - allows the sperm to pass from the testes and vas deferens and equips them with semen so they can survive internal fertilization

*Penis - releases sperm into the external environment for fertilization to occur

Karolina [17]

Answer:

B and C are correct

Explanation:

Gelatin also referred to as hydrolyzed collagen.collagen is a structural protein in animal and undergoes hydrolysis to form gelatin.

Gelatin appears as a translucent, colorless and flavorless food ingredient used as gelling agents in food, drugs and  cosmetics.

When dry it is bristle and becomes gummy when moist.

Gummy bears are known for their chewiness and gelatin gives them the chewiness.

Why might enzymes that are specific to a substrate be an advantage and disadvantage to the cell?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:There are many advantages of immobilisation, one of which is that the enzymes can be reused – catalysing the same reaction many times. Binding the enzymes to a surface also makes them more stable and less likely to denature (lose their shape).
