Answer

According to EasyEliMu,

Plant cells have cells membrane and cell wall. When the cell is placed or immersed in distilled water, the water is absorbed by osmosis. ( This is the reason why plants do not burst!!! ) As cell becomes turgid, the cell created an inward force, wall pressure that prevents the cell from bursting. Isotonic solution- a solution which has the same concentration as the cell sap.

Hope this helps! <3

Ok, so I'm not sure if the man affected with fh has Ff alleles or FF alleles. However, I think by the question that he has Ff alleles. So there is a 50% chance that the offspring will be affected by fh.

The lysosome functions in a cell like the _______ does in our bodies.

Troyanec [42]

Lysosomes remove waste at a cellular level.
They contain digestive enzymes, so they're like the digestive system.
The stomach digests food, so lysosomes could be considered like the stomach.
But then again, so do the intestines, small and large.
Since the stomach doesn't also work to remove waste though, I'd say the answer is probably large intestine, which finishes the digestive process and removes waste material.
