Answer:

Well for the onion peel, since its a plant cell...it shall gain water from the solution as it has a lower water potentail,and hence increase in size, becoming turgid and tight, with the cell wall exerting pressure to stop it from bursting.

For the RBC, its an animal cell, and shall also gain water, but since there is no cell wall to support it, it shall soon gain so much water that it shall burst becuase of the pressure, through lysis, and shall die.

Note, the plant cell does not die.

As a discussed in the lesson, eukaryotic cels are differ from prokaryotic cells based on what three things?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Like a prokaryotic cell, a eukaryotic cell has a plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and ribosomes, but a eukaryotic cell is typically larger than a prokaryotic cell, has a true nucleus (meaning its DNA is surrounded by a membrane), and has other membrane-bound organelles that allow for compartmentalization of functions

A strand of DNA that is 36 nucleotides long codes for how many amino acids?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

See answer below

Explanation:

Hi there,

Assuming this DNA strand is fully capable of being mature mRNA (5' m7G cap and PolyA tail), nucleotides lead to an mRNA codon, which is 3 nucleotides per codon. In turn, 1 codon leads to 1 amino acid. However, as a single strand, it must be capable of terminating translation, which always requires a stop codon, and thus 3 nucleotides. Hence, we must subtract this from the total amount of codons <em>first</em>.

36 \ ncltd \ \frac{1 \ codon}{3 \ ncltd} = 12 \ codon\\12 \ codon - 1 \ codon \  = 11 \ codon\\11 \ codons\ \frac{1 A.A.}{1 \ codon}  = 11 \ A. A.

Hence, only 11 amino acids will be coded by a single DNA strand 36 ncltd long.

thanks,

After a big meal, in those individuals who do not have type i diabetes, the pancreas secretes insulin, which circulates through
chubhunter [2.5K]
This is an example of negative feedback. 

After a big meal, glucose levels in the bloodstream increases. The body recognises this change and goes through homeostasis, or the regulation of bodily state or internal environment.

The pancreas secretes insulin, which then binds to insulin receptors. This will result in the uptake of excess glucose from the bloodstream into cells and converted into glycogen to be stored in cells as energy storage molecules. 

Since there is the counter effect of body (i.e. when blood-glucose concentration increases, the body sends a signal to decrease the blood-glucose concentration, this is called a negative feedback (instead of a positive feedback, which occurs if for e.g. the body signals cells to increase blood-glucose concentration even after blood-glucose concentration increased after a heavy meal).

Hope this helps! :)
