Answer:

Dehydration

Explanation:

What causes bacteria to die in an extremely salty environment is dehydration due to the loss of osmotic balance in their cells.

Water molecules would normally move from the region of high water potential or low solute concentration to the region of low water potential or high solute concentration through a biologically permeable membrane.

<em>An extremely salty environment would be hypertonic to the cells of bacteria and the cell walls of bacteria act as biologically permeable membranes. Hence, the bacteria cells lose water due to the osmotic movement of water from their cells to the surrounding salty environment. </em>

Are there differences in the DNA in different types of human body cells
NeX [460]
The DNA is stored in the nucleus of the cell. Different genes are active in different kinds of cells. Most living things are composed of different kinds of cells specialized to perform different functions. A liver cell, for example, does not have the same biochemical duties as a nerve cell.

Describe how some cells make food molecules!
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

All living cells release energy from food molecules through cellular respiration and/or fermentation. Some cells make food molecules using light energy through the process of photosynthesis.

Two ways to cells get energy: cellular respiration and fermentation.

Fermentation: Fermentation, chemical process by which molecules such as glucose are broken down anaerobically.

Cellular respiration: Cellular respiration is the process through which cells convert sugars into energy. To create ATP and other forms of energy to power cellular reactions, cells require fuel and an electron acceptor which drives the chemical process of turning energy into a useable form.

Discuss the relationship between mitosis and cytokinesis. what would be the result if one happened without the other ?
DENIUS [597]
If mitosis occurred without cytokinesis, the cell would contain two nuclei and twice the DNA. If cytokinesis occurred without mitosis , one of the new cells would lack DNA and a nucleus altogether. The cell cycle is regulated by signals both inside and outside of the cell.
