Answer:

If you place an animal or a plant cell in a hypertonic solution, the cell shrinks, because it loses water ( water moves from a higher concentration inside the cell to a lower concentration outside ). If a cell is in a hypertonic solution, the solution has a lower water concentration than the cell cytosol does, and water moves out of the cell until both solutions are isotonic.

Explanation:

If you place an animal or a plant cell in a hypertonic solution, the cell shrinks, because it loses water ( water moves from a higher concentration inside the cell to a lower concentration outside ).

How would an inhibitor of cAMP phosphodiesterase affect glucose mobilization in muscle? It would increase cAMP levels, which wou

dedylja [7]

Answer:It would maintain high cAMP levels and elevate glucose mobilization.

Explanation:

Gas stimulates adenylate cyclase, leading to the generation

of cAMP. This signal then leads to glucose mobilization. If cAMP phosphodiesterase were inhibited, then

cAMP levels would remain high even after the termination of the

epinephrine signal, and glucose mobilization would continue
