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).

Gametes produced by the parents are shown along the __________________ and _______________ sides of the Punnett square.
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Vertical and horizontal

Explanation:

A punnet square is a tabular chart used in genetics to display the genotypic composition of the offsprings of two parents. To construct a punnet square, the alleles of the gametes produced by the parents is required.

The gametes produced by each parent via meiosis are placed along the vertical and horizontal sides of the punnet square. For example, if a cross occurs between two parents with the following genotype: AaBb and AAbb. The parents will produce the following gametes:

AaBb - AB, Ab, aB, ab

AAbb - Ab, Ab, Ab, Ab

These gametes produces by each parent will be placed along the sides (vertical and horizontal) of a punnet square to determine the genotype of the offsprings that will be produced.

Why do you think arteries, veins and nerves always travel together? provide an example that illustrates your reasoning?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
Not all veins and arteries travel together but most of them do. Reason being that veins don't have good means of pumping up to the heart and this is facilitated by arterial pulsations.
Muscular contractions help venous to pump blood because when muscle contract venous sinuses are caused to contract and blood be pumped up. Where there is no gravity muscular contraction is important because of the veins of the lower extremity.

When two different forms of a virus infect the same cell, the host cell may manufacture viral particles from both viruses to ass
Alchen [17]

When two different forms of a virus infect the same cell, the host cell may manufacture viral particles by a process called antigenic shift.

<h3>What is an antigen?</h3>

An antigen is any molecule or molecular structure that may trigger a suitable immune response in the host.

An antigen can be the target for antibody binding during classical adaptive immune responses.

In conclusion, when two different forms of a virus infect the same cell, the host cell may manufacture viral particles by a process called antigenic shift.
