Hey can you please take a better picture? It’s a little blurry!
<span>This condition is called Edema. It is when something swells up, which happens when too much fluid is trapped in the soft tissues. Blood vessels emit the fluid which fills up in the soft tissue. It can happen because of burns, allergic reactions, and even pregnancy. (Sometimes women's feet swell.)</span>
Answer:
- Water entered the potato strips because the potato cells contained higher concentration of solutes than its external environment.
- The solutions are hypotonic to the solution in the potato cells.
Explanation:
According to osmosis, water will move from a region where it is high in concentration to that region where it is low in concentration. However, a region with high solute concentration contains a low water concentration and vice versa.
Hence, according to this question, water is said to move into potato strips from solutions of molar concentrations like 0.0M, 0.2M etc. Water moved into the potato strips because potato cells contained higher concentration of solutes than its external environment. This means that the external solutions are HYPERTONIC i.e. low in solute concentration to the solution in the potato strips.
They play an important role in the control system by sensing defects that occur during essential processes such as DNA replication or chromosome segregation, and inducing a cell cycle arrest in response until the defects are repaired.
