Well I'm not exactly certain where the teacher is going with this, but an often used example is red blood cells (RBCs) aka: erythrocytes.
RBCs are suspended in blood plasma as they flood through vessels around and around the body, so the osmolarity (amount of small particles that affect osmosis) must remain relatively constant. This is termed "isotonic", meaning the same amount of osmosis-influencing particles that are there inside the RBCs' cytosol, within their plasma membranes.
If the plasma osmolarity get too high, called hypertonic (as with extra salt particles) then water inside the RBCs will have an osmotic force driving it out of the cells' membranes, to flow where there are more salt particles. This will lead to cell shrinkage (called "crenation").
Counter to that, if the plasma osmolarity gets too low, as due to low plasma salt with excessive water intake (for example from the condition "water intoxication"), then the plasma will be hypotonic with respect to the intracellular cytosol concentration. This can result in water rushing into the RBCs' membranes via osmosis, causing the cells to swell from discs into spheres (balls), or even rupture and burst (a phenomenon called "hemolysis").
HOPE THOSE EXAMPLES HELP!!
signals is the answer for sure
The precambrian era makes up about 90% of the earths history, but there was little to no living organisms at the time other than microscopic ones. The first eukaryotes were found in the cambrian period after the precambrian period, not only that but at the end of the precambrian era in the Proterozoic era there was a mass extinction of about 70-80% of all living organisms
Answer:
C.In the absence of oxygen, creatine phosphate can drive aerobic respiration pathways for a few minutes.
Explanation:
C. In the absence of oxygen, creatine phosphate can drive aerobic respiration pathways for a few minutes.
This statement not true for a following reasons.
Firstly, creatine phosphate directly phosphorylates ATP instead of providing any support for aerobic pathways.
Secondly, creatine phosphate stores are used up in about 15 seconds only. Thirdly, a cell does not need oxygen deficit for creatine phosphate to be activated, it just needs to be short on ATP.
First, a complete digestive system means that the digestive tract has a beginning or the oral end and the opposite end or the aboral end. This is found in more complex animals starting from roundworms (flatworms have an incomplete digestive tract). A closed circulatory system is found in animals more recent than mollusks. The presence of the coelom makes it more evolved than the flatworms.
Specifically, a small animal with a segmented body, short stiff appendages, and soft skin with the above characteristics point out to the phylum Annelida or annelids.
