PLS HELP ASAP If an animal cell wasn't in an isotonic solution, wouldn't active transport be able to balance the cell's volume?

If not, why?

Answer:

Animal cells tend to do best in an isotonic environment, plant cells tend to do best in

a hypotonic environment. This is demonstrated in the attached PDF.

Explanation:

A cell that does not have a rigid cell wall, such as a red blood cell, will swell and lyse (burst)  when placed in a hypotonic solution, a process called cytolysis. Cells with a cell wall will swell when placed in a hypotonic solution, but once the cell is turgid (firm), the tough cell wall prevents any more water from entering the cell. When placed in a hypertonic solution, a cell without a cell wall will lose water to the environment, shrivel, and probably die. In a hypertonic solution, a cell with a cell wall will lose water too. The plasma membrane pulls away from the cell wall as it shrivels, a process called plasmolysis.

I hope this helps. If not I am really sorry!

If a person had not drunk any water for 8 hours before collecting a sample, would you expect his/her urine to have a high or low
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The person’s urine will have a high specific gravity

Explanation:

A high specific gravity is characterized by an increased concentration of solutes in the urine of am individual. A low specific gravity is characterized by a low or decreased concentration of the solutes.This is usually due to dehydration as a result of environmental conditions or tedious physical activities.

This explains why a person who had not drank any water for 8 hours and is dehydrated before collecting a sample is thought to have a urine with a high specific gravity

What would happen to the dandelion siphonophore population if the tube anemone population increased?​
irina1246 [14]
This dandelion siphonophore is the first we observed on this expedition. Found at approximately 2,530 meters (8,300 feet) depth, we were able to see the feeding tentacles extended around the animal like a spider web as well as the pulsating nectophores, found just below and around the “float,” which helped to keep the central body suspended.

On the rare occasions we encounter these invertebrates, they appear from a distance as a pulsating, faintly glowing, orange-yellow ball that seems to hover just above the bottom

Which of the following are properties of all cells? 1. Evolution. 2. Growth. 3. Communication. 4. Diferentiation. 5. Compartment
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

The correct answer is option B

Cells are the basic structural and functional unit of life and possess genes. These genes evolve to carry out new biological functions in the body.  

Cells undergo division and growth whether it be unicellular organisms or multi cellular organisms.  

All cells possess the property of compartmentalization and metabolism henceforth taking up nutritive material from the environment.

These nutrients are further transformed into the cell compartments and the waste produced as a result is expelled out thus forming on open system.

The fluid that enters vertebrate nephrons is called the filtrate. What is the source of the filtrate
Alecsey [184]

the source of the filtrate is Loop of Henle.

The Henle loop is surrounded by tissue fluid with a high ion concentration. Osmosis causes water to move out of the descending limb. As a result of the more concentrated filtrate, ions move out of the loop in the thin ascending limb.

The nephron consists of a single long tubule and a ball of capillaries called the glomerulus. Using hydrostatic pressure, plasma is forced through the walls of the glomerulus, becoming filtrate as it crosses, and then collecting within Bowman's capsule. The fluid that enters vertebrate nephrons is called the filtrate.

<h3>Which part of the nephron is called the loop of Henle?</h3>

A million nephrons are the filtering units of the human kidney, which is a complex and highly vascular organ. Each filters water and solutes from the blood that flows through it into the surrounding space and is the cavity between the cup's walls. The other part resembles a U-shaped loop that transports the filtered fluid deep into the medulla.

<h3>Functions of Nephron</h3>

The primary function of the Nephron is to flush out waste products from the blood, which include solid waste and other excesses. This blood is transformed into urine through secretion and excretion.

The nephron, a basic structural unit of the kidney, is a microscopic structure composed of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule.
