What would happen to an animal cell with an internal salt concentration of 70% if it were placed in a salt solution with a conce

Answer:

It will swell and eventually burst because water from the environment is flowing into the cell

Explanation:

This question is describing OSMOSIS, which is the movement of water from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration across a semi-permeable membrane. The osmotic process is facilitated by the formation of an OSMOTIC GRADIENT i.e. difference in concentration between the two sides of the membrane.

In this case, an animal cell containing an internal salt concentration of 70% (hypertonic) were placed in a salt solution with a concentration of 20% (hypotonic), OSMOSIS will occur in the sense that water will move from where it is more concentrated (salt solution) into where it is less concentrated (animal cell), hence, the animal cell will SWELL AND EVENTUALLY BURST.

Way an egg is so much larger then a sperm cell, need help.
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The egg contains both food and mitochondria in addition to its vital DNA, thats why it is much larger. The sperm cell has to be much smaller than the egg cell, because it is the one that swims. If a sperm cell were as big as an egg, it would not be able to move very fast nor very far.

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.

astraxan [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Parenchyma

1. They have thin cell wall.

2. Their cell wall is made up of cellulose.

3. They are unspecialized tissues.

4. The are found in soft part of the plant.

5. They undergo photosynthesis and can stored the food and also play important role in gaseous exchange.

6. There are spaces between the cells.

Collecchyma.

1. They are thick cell walls.

2. Their cell walls are made up of cellulose and lectin.

3. They are specialized tissues

4. They are found in plants leaves and petioles.

5 The do not undergo photosynthesis but act to give mechanical support to plants.

6. They have little intercellular spaces.

Parenchyma and collecchyma are both tissues found in plants..
