Osmosis causes water to move from areas of low salt concentration to areas of high salt concentration. The internal NaCl concent

ration of red blood cells is 0.9 M. The diagram below shows red blood cells submerged in solutions of four different NaCl concentrations—0 M, 0.65 M, 0.9 M, and 2 M. Which of the diagrams shows red blood cells in the 2 M solution?

<span>Red blood cells normally have a biconcave shape (picture a donut, but instead of a hole through the centre there's just a downward slope to the centre of the cell). If the cell takes on water, it will increase in size and the sloped areas will start to flatten out. If the cell loses water, it will begin to shrivel. Use these observations and your understanding of osmosis to answer the question!</span>

You haven't given us the diagrams, but in case you're asking about the shape, imagine this: a disc, with a sunken centre, starting to resemble a donut.

In a low salt solution, the cells would start to absorb water, thus, inflating, up to the point of resembling spheres, and even bursting in the end. In case of a salty solution like the one you proposed, blood cells would lose water and would become a bit amorphous. In the attached pic you can see a standard blood cell (on the left), and a cell submerged in a salty solution (on the right).

charle [14.2K]

Halophilic bacteria possess a pigment related to the plant's chlorophyll.

<h3>Halophilic bacteria</h3>

They are bacteria that live in high salt environments. They have a certain feature that enables them to pump out salts in order to maintain normal osmotic conditions in their bodies.

Halophilic bacteria are equipped with bacteriorhodopsin and halorhodopsin. These enable them to photosynthesize like plants. and generate the much-needed ATP for pumping out salts.

Does negative feedback stop or speed up the release of hormones?
DaniilM [7]

Explanation:

Hormone production and release are primarily controlled by negative feedback. In negative feedback systems, a stimulus causes the release of a substance whose effects then inhibit further release. In this way, the concentration of hormones in blood is maintained within a narrow range.

13. FALSE

14. TRUE

15. FALSE

16. TRUE

17. TRUE

18. TRUE

19. TRUE

20. FALSE

Explanation:

Animals can actually reproduce sexually and asexually. Animals that reproduce asexually do that through fission, fragmentation, budding, etc.

Some of the animals that reproduce asexually include planarians, sea stars, annelid worms, etc.

In the fertilization process, the male sperm cell and the female egg cell come together.

Sexual reproduction involve the fertilization of egg by the sperm. In asexual, there is no fertilization. Ferns are spore-bearing plants. They reproduce via spores but their spores are not actually blackish.
