Nitella [24]2 years ago

Answer:

The animal cell will shrink due to loss of water to the external solution

Explanation:

An isotonic solution is that solution which has equal concentration with its external environment. Hence, no net movement of water occurs in an isotonic solution since there is no concentration gradient. Therefore, if an animal cell is placed in an isotonic solution at first, no net movement of water occurs because the intracellular and extracellular concentrations are at equilibrium.

However, if more solutes are added to the solution, it makes the solution HYPERTONIC to the cell i.e greater in concentration. This creates an osmotic gradient and causes water to move out of the animal cell into the solution in accordance to osmotic principles (movement of water from a low concentration of solute to high concentration of solute). This causes the animal cell to likely SHRINK.

I heard that mitochondria increase if we exercising. So, if i was exercising and suddenly stop exercising. Will the number of mi
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

I believe the amount of mitochondria in our body only increases after long term exercising.

When you are exercising, you do not produce more mitochondria straight away. Even after you stop, the amount of mitochondria will be the same.

I believe the production of mitochondria and the improvement of your muscles is the same. You need to exercise for awhile before you can get more mitochondria in your body.

As for your amount of food needed, it is not according to the amount of mitochondria you have. It is according to how much energy you need.

You should be able to tell how much food you need. So, you actually wont produce more fats. As long as you eat the correct and moderate amount of food.

You will not produce more fat when you stop exercising than when you never exercise. Like I said, the amount of fat produced is according to your food intake. Your food intake is according to your energy needs. As long as you eat moderately, you will not produce more fat. In fact, you will be able to burn fats better after long term exercise because your body will be healthier and able to moderate itself.

Vascular endothelial growth factor (abbreviated VEGF and pronounced “Veg-F”) is a peptide signaling molecule related to platelet
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Option (C).

Explanation:

VEGF (Vascular endothelial growth factor) acts as a signalling molecule for the platelet derived growth factors. Paracrine signalling helps in the cell communication of the near by cells.

VEGF can acts as the paracrine signalling molecule. They have the ability to binds with receptor and can cause the formation of new blood vessels to their by neighbor cells also.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
