If you were to place fertilized sea urchin eggs in a hypotonic tank, what would happen to them and why?​

Biology

koban [17]2 years ago

Answer:

The eggs will burst because water from the tank will flow into them

Explanation:

A hypotonic solution is a solution that contains less concentration of solutes in comparison with its external solution. OSMOSIS is the process by which water moves from a region of lower solute concentration (higher water concentration) to a region of higher solute concentration (lower water concentration) via a semi-permeable membrane.

According to this question, fertilized eggs of a sea urchin are placed in a hypotonic tank solution i.e. The eggs are hypertonic to the solution in the tank. Based on the osmotic principle, water will move from the tank solution (less solute/more water) into the egg (more solute/less water) via the membrane of the egg. This will eventually lead to the eggs BURSTING.

prohojiy [21]

Answer;

Iodine

A diffuse, nontoxic goiter is usually due to a lack of Iodine in the diet.

Explanation;

-A diffuse non-toxic goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland without nodularity. It occurs in an endemic and sporadic distribution. It does not result from an inflammatory or neoplastic process and is not associated with abnormal thyroid function.

-Simple nontoxic goiter, which may be diffuse or nodular, is noncancerous hypertrophy of the thyroid without hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, or inflammation. Except in severe iodine deficiency, thyroid function is normal and patients are asymptomatic except for an obviously enlarged, non tender thyroid.
