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!

What is global wind and how do winds help humans travel?
jeka57 [31]

Global winds are winds that appear in belts that go all around the world. Like local winds, global winds are driven by unequal heating of the atmosphere. Since global winds blow west to east, it helps humans travel west to east.

<h3>How global winds influence climate?</h3>

Global wind belts and calm regions have an effect on, is that the berg winds blow from the east and die out as they are available close to the equator.

The westerlies blow from the west and move storms across u. s. The easterlies blow from the east and they cause stormy weather to occur once cold air forms this belt meets heat air of the westerlies.

Thus, this could be the answer.
