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 ).

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

heart, get rid of toxins/flush out toxins

Explanation:

Project Renew:

Project Renew is an ECP (external counter pulsation) brand developed by Innovations Ventures LLC which is owned by Manoj Bhargava, a businessman and philanthropist.
External counter pulsation is a device that pumps blood from the legs to the core body while the heart rests. Therefore, this device acts like an auxiliary heart. It provides the heart a chance to rest, thus, reducing its work load.
The idea behind project renew is not only to aid circulation but to ensure proper excretion of toxins from the blood. An auxiliary circulation system would ultimately lead to a better detoxification system.

Which of the following is a cost associated with the development of the

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. Burning fuel releases carbon monoxide and other chemicals into air.

Explanation:

The burning of flue realeases carbon monooxide which is highly reactive.Carbon monoxide binds with hemoglobin resulting in the formation of carboxy hemoglobin.

Carbon monoxide interacts binds high affinity to hemoglobin than oxygen.The binding of carbon monoxide to hemoglobin displaces the oxygen from hemoglobin thus reducing the affinity of the later for oxygen.

When carbon monoxide binds to hemoblobin, then less hemoglobin is available to bind and transport oxygen to the peripheral tissues of the body..An exposure to carbon monoxide for long period of time can cause death.
