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

1 answer:

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 solutes in the solution (from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.)

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

Inside an isotonic solution, the RBC will remain the same because the concentrations are equal.

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

Question 1

noname [10]

1 - A ground level plant develops curling tendrils that wrap around other objects so it can "climb".

This is a species changing over time as it was originally a ground level plant but began to climb higher.

2 - Over many generations.

This is because diversity takes time and has to be integrated through generations; for instance, marriage. In a family, it becomes more diverse after the next generation as each generation is likely to marry someone of another ethnicity and allow the family tree to become more diverse.

3 - Mutate or Survive

It depends on what it means by mutate - develop a mutation to make it adaptable? If that's the case, then mutations within the DNA would be a result of adaptation and increase survival. Otherwise, survive is the obvious answer as adaption allows for species to move around and live longer.

Hope this helps!

Alika [10]

Answer:

The water would get warmer and would not sink to the bottom, and therefore disrupt the worldwide currents

Explanation:

the warmer water is less dense than the colder water and would not sink, which would interrupt the natural currents with extra external heat added by global warming

Which practice provides the Best means of protecting biodiversity inthe wild for future generations?? a Initiating recycling pro

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Practice that provides the best means of protecting biodiversity in the wild for future generations is - expanding breeding programs for endangered species .

Explanation: The best way of preserving biodiversity for future generations in the wild -

Expanding breeding programs for endangered species . -: Breeding programmes, such as the panda, help conserve endangered species. Replanting hedgerows because there is greater biodiversity in them than the fields they surround, minimizing deforestation and the release of greenhouse gases, protecting and creating new endangered ecosystems, often by making National Parks.

The other statements are not so suitable means of protecting biodiversity in the wild for future generation as the first statement indicates about the initiation of recycling programmes in neighborhood , which has no role in preservation of biodiversity or wildlife because the statement is about keeping the environment clean and healthy .

The other statement is about reduction of air pollution as buying vehicles with reduced carbon emissions improves the quality of air.

And the other statement of Protecting wildlife areas such as national parks comes under the other statement which states "expanding breeding programs for endangered species".

Hence , the correct option is D.
