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.

Studies suggest that the incidence of colon cancer may be lowered with high fiber diets. how might this be explained?

Triss [41]

The increase in the high fiber diet reduces the risk of colon cancer is suggested by the researchers. The effect of high fiber dietary intake add bulk to the digestive system. It also reduces the time required by the food to travel from the colon. Our food often contains some carcinogenic contents, so the interaction of such carcinogens may also be reduced due to the high fiber diet and also reduces the risk of intestinal tract. The bacteria in the lower intestine breaks the fibers into butyrate, which inhibits the growth of tumors of the colon and rectum.

Based on the results of the mouse coloration case study, suggest another hypothesis researchers

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Please see below

Explanation:

With the study on coat color, mice who could blend in better in the environment would be less likely to be detected bu the predator. Another hypothesis could be made in relevance to their legs. Longer legs would help the mice run quicker and increase the chances of escaping from the grasp of the predator, and hence, make survival more likely so it will be selected for. While shorter legged mice will be selected against since they are at a disadvantage.
