Which pair of terms concerning the osmotic effect of a solution on red blood cells is mismatched?

Biology
1 answer:
QveST [7]3 years ago
4 0
Even though there are no choices given in this particular question, the principle of osmosis is very easy to understand. 

When we talk about osmosis, we are referring to the movement of water from a low concentration to a higher concentration. This is different from diffusion, which talks specifically about the movement of <em>solutes</em> in the solution (from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.)

When an RBC is placed inside a <em>hypertonic </em>solution, the water inside the RBC will go out thereby shrinking the RBC.

Inside an <em>isotonic</em> solution, the RBC will remain the same because the concentrations are equal.

Inside a <em>hypotonic</em> solution, the RBC will lyse or explode because water will move from the solution going inside the RBC.

The Gecko. While human-made devices inspired by gecko feet have emerged in recent years, enabling their wearers to slowly scale a glass wall, the possible applications of gecko-adhesion technology go far beyond Spiderman-esque antics. A researcher is looking into how the technology could be applied in a high-precision industrial setting, such as in robot arms used in manufacturing computer chips.

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

social facilitation

Explanation:

This ability or improvement in teh performance of a person when they work in the presence of others is called social facilitation.

The definition was first put forward in 1898 by Norman Triplett; in 1920 psychologist Floyd Allport classified it as social facilitation.

For example, assume your employer has asked you to perform a fairly simple job, such as cleaning up a specific area of work. Social facilitation theory suggests that if there were people watching you when you were working, you'd probably go the extra measures to put it in its place and make the area very clean.

Hence, the correct answer is social facilitation.

Some people have freckles, and some people do not have freckles. If a child has freckles, at least one parent has freckles. Howe
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
For this information to be true, that would mean freckles is a dominant trait, and to not have freckles is a recessive trait. So that means if even someone's genotype has both the freckle and the no freckle gene, their phenotype will be freckles.
