If a red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the cell would shrink.
Hypertonic solution means that the solution has a lower water potential than the other side (which is the cell's cytoplasm in this case), and by that, water molecules would have a tendency to flow from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential. This movement of water molecules is called osmosis. But note that a semi-permeable membrane (a membrane which can decide what substances can go in and out, the cell membrane is an example) has to be present in osmosis, or else the movement may be regarded as diffusion.
As the water molecules flowed away from the red blood cell cytoplasm, the cell loss so much water that the membrane has nothing much to hold and thus the cell shrinks.
<u>answer:</u> natural selection
The best choice is A.
A gene is a specific sequence of nucleotides in DNA or RNA that is located usually on a chromosome and that specifies the structure of a particular polypeptide and especially a protein, or controls the function of other genetic material.
Information from the gene is copied (transcribed) on mRNA in the nucleus. mRNA then leaves the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm where it attaches to a ribosome. The information on the attached mRNA is decoded (translated) by tRNA which then fetches the amino acids according to this information and brings them to the ribosome where they are linked together to form the specified protein.
The answer to this question is Neurotransmitter
Neurotransmitter will create a chemical change inside our body as a response to each situation that we face. This response then will be transmitted toward our body and will determine what we should do next, (this process will be a lot easier to observe during dangerous fight or flight situations)
Answer:
The correct answer is hypophysis or pituitary.
Explanation:
The pituitary gland is at the size and shape of a pea and is also known as the master gland because it controls and stimulates the regulation of other endocrine glands. The pituitary gland is itself an endocrine gland which secretes its hormone directly in the blood.
Some hormones released by pituitary that stimulate other endocrine gland are adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) which stimulate the adrenal gland to release cortisol. FSH and LH hormone that stimulate testes and ovary in male and female, Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) which stimulate thyroid gland, etc. Therefore the right answer is pituitary.
