Explain how osmosis will affect animal cells when the cells are placed into and environment with a low water potential compared

to the intracellular water potential
Biology
1 answer:
matrenka [14]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

The cytoplasm in animal cells is surrounded by a membrane, which delimits the cell and its surroundings. As opposite from the plant cells, animal cells do not have a cell wall.

<em>Osmosis</em><em> is the process in which a solvent diffuses across a semipermeable membrane</em> (like the cell membrane) <em>from the zone with the lower concentration of solutes to the zone with the higher concentration. </em>That means that water, in this case, will diffuse spontaneously across the cell membrane from the place with more water molecules (usually, the exterior of the cell) to the place which has less water molecules, or is more concentrated (in this case, the cytoplasm). This diffusion will continue until an equilibrium is reached.

If we place an animal cell, which does not have a cell wall, into an environment with a low water potential, <u>the water will flow from the exterior to the interior</u>. If the water potential is very low compared to the one of the cytoplasm, the cell can receive too much water and explode. This process is called cytolysis.

Answer:

Electricity, gravity of earth and structure of atom provide evidence.

Explanation:

The investigation of electricity, gravity of earth and structure of atom helps the student to understand that without touching, one object apply force on another object. In electric current, we can see the property of magnetism due to which it attract and repel objects while in gravity of earth, the earth apply gravitational force to attract objects towards itself. in the structure of atom, proton present in the nucleus which attract the electron present in the shells.

Which process is responsible for the growth and repair of human tissue ?
muminat

In general, the process responsible for the growth and repair of human tissue is the healing process, which takes place in three phases.

1. inflammatory response. Injured tissues release  chemicals that draw resources to the area, alert the body that damage has occurred and inhibit function to prevent further injury.

2. Repair phase. Once injured area is walled off and debris removed, construction to  replace or repair injured tissue begins. New blood vessels grow in the injured area maximizing transport within tissue.

3. Remodeling phase. Construction of permanent tissue , typically strong scar tissue made from dense network of collagen fibers. 

Looking at it from cell level, the process of mitosis is actually taking place during  healing. 

Mitosis is used for growth and repair and produces diploid cells identical to each other and to the parent cell. 

New cells are needed throughout life. These are for growth and replacement of damaged or worn out tissue. The body obtains such through the process of mitosis.

-. Describe how ATP can release and store energy<br> for the cell.
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

ATP consists of an adenosine molecule

bonded to three phophate groups in a row.

In a process called cellular respiration, chemical energy in food is converted into chemical energy that the cell can use, and stores it in molecules of ATP.

This occurs when a molecule of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) uses the energy released during cellular respiration to bond with a third phosphate group, becoming a molecule of ATP. So the energy from cellular respiration is stored in the bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate groups of ATP. When the cell needs energy to do work, ATP loses its 3rd phosphate group, releasing energy.

If an object is having a constant positive acceleration, what can we assume about the forces on it?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

If an object has a net force acting on it, it will accelerate. The object will speed up, slow down or change direction. ... If however, the forces are balanced (in equilibrium) and there is no net force, the object will not accelerate and the velocity will remain constant.
