Hypertonic solution means the solution with a lower water potential than the cell cytoplasm, such as salt water.
When the red blood cell is put into it, since the cell has a higher water potential than the solution, water molecules will flow from the cell back into the water due to osmosis.
Osmosis is always where water molecules flow from a region of higher water potential to lower, through a semi permeable membrane (Whcih is the red blood cell membrane in this case.)
Since water flowed out of the cell, the cell lose water and shrinks.
Hypotonic solution is where the solution that has a higher water potential than the cell cytoplasm.
So when the red blood cell is put in that solution, the water will flow from the solution into the cell this time, by osmosis.
The red blood cell will then gain so much water that the cell membrane cannot hold all and therefore burst.
"Gurgling Respirations" is not normal breathing. You need to be ready to start CPR and possibly call for a lift assist. Also be ready to possibly intubate if you are certified in doing so.
Basically it is more complex then just one locus gene interaction, but basically if both parents have brown hair they can have a child with blonde hair because both parents could be heterozygous for brown and pass on the recessive allele for blonde hair. in simple genetic analysis this would happen to 25% of the children.
Ans.
The biodiversity of a coral reef ecosystem will be decrease if there is a decrease in coral reef population as most if the marine organisms, such as microbes, sea urchins, plankton, fishes, seahorses, along with larger animals, such as sea turtles, directly or indirectly depend on coral reefs. As seaweeds act as competitors of corals, overgrowth of seaweed population would decrease population of corals.
This will lead to a disturbance in coral reef ecosystem and decrease the ecosystem's biodiversity. Thus, the correct answer is 'option B). the overgrowth of seaweed would prevent light from reaching the reef.'
