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.

mario62 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is "the S layer may play a role in protecting cells from viruses and predatory bacteria found in nature but not in laboratory cultures".

Explanation:

The S-layer (surface layer) is a part of the cell's envelope comprised of of identical proteins or glycoproteins that could be found in archaes and some bacterias in nature. The function of the S-layer is unknown, however the fact that is only seen in nature suggest that it may play a role in protecting cells from viruses and predatory bacteria found in nature but not in laboratory cultures. It is likely that archaes and bacteria synthesize the S-layer when they recognize viruses and predatory bacteria in nature, the S-layer is not synthesized in laboratory cultures because these pathogens are not present.
