What would happen if a cell membrane let too much water into a cell?

Chemistry

Sloan [31]3 years ago

Answer:

<u>Animal Cell</u>

  • When water moves into an animal cell (e.g. a red blood cell), the cell membrane stretches and the cell gets bigger. If this continues, the cell membrane will burst – this is called lysis.

<u>Plant Cell</u>

  • When too much water moves out of a plant cell the cell contents shrink. This pulls the cell membrane away from the cell wall. A plasmolyzed cell is unlikely to survive.

When water moves into a plant cell, the vacuole gets bigger, pushing the cell membrane against the cell wall. ... The pressure created by the cell wall stops too much water entering and prevents cell lysis. If plants do not receive enough water the cells cannot remain turgid and the plant wilts.

How many moles of H3PO4 would produce 12 moles of water in this reaction? ЗKOH + H3PO4 K3PO4 + 3H20
Olenka [21]

Answer:

4 moles of H₃PO₄

Explanation:

The reaction expression is given as;

     3KOH   + H₃PO₄   →   K₃PO₄   +  3H₂O

Number of moles of water  =  12moles

Unknown:

Number of moles of H₃PO₄ = ?

Solution:

 From the balanced reaction expression we see that;

          3 moles of water is produced from 1 mole of H₃PO₄

So;    12 moles of water would be produced from \frac{12}{3} = 4 moles of H₃PO₄

What is the de Broglie wavelength, in cm, of a 11.0-g hummingbird flying at 1.20 x 10^2 mph?
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:1.123 x 10^-31cm

Explanation:

mass of humming bird=  11.0g

speed= 1.20x10^2mph

but I mile = 1.6m

1km=1000

I mile = 1.6x10^3m

1.20x10^2mph= 1.6x10^3m /1mile x at 1.20 x 10^2

=1.932 x10^5m

recall that  

1 hr= 60 min

1 min=60 secs, 1hr=3600s

Speed = distance/ time

=1.932 x10^5 / 3600= 5.366 x 10 ^1 m/s

m= a 11.0g= 11.0 x 10^-3kg

h=6.626*10^-34 (kg*m^2)/s

Wavelength = h/mu

= 6.626*10^-34/(11 x 10^-3 x 5.366x 10^1)

6.63x10^-34/ 590.26x 10 ^-3= 1.123 x10^-33m

but 1m = 100cm

1.123 x 10 ^-33 x 100 = 1.123 x 10^-31cm

de broglie wavelength of humming bird = 1.123 x 10 ^-31cm

How many protons, neutrons, and electrons could an isotope of this atom contain?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The atomic number on the Periodic Table identifies the number of protons in any atom of that element. Copper, atomic number 29, has 29 protons. Finding the atomic number of an element reveals the number of protons.

To find the number of neutrons in the atom, subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.
