Biology

eimsori [14]2 years ago

Tonicity in cells depends on both the concentration of solute outside the cell and the concentration of solute inside the cell

Tonicity is a concept used in biology that defines the osmotic pressure ( pressure that stops the fluids from entering or leaving cells). This pressure is defined by the concentration of solute (substances dissolved in the liquid) outside and inside the cell.

In this context, the cell is classified as isotonic if there is a balance between the concentration outside and inside; hypertonic if the concentration outside the cell is higher, which causes the cell to shrink of hipotonic if the concentration outside is lower, which causes the cell to swell.

There are two main types of cell division—mitosis and meiosis. Which of the following is a true statement about the end products
Andrei [34K]
Mitosis happens in all types of cells. in this division, the cell will double it's number of chromosomes and then will be divided into two separated cells. so the number of chromosomes in product is equal to the number of chromosomes of the first cell



but meiosis only happens to produce gametes. the cell will be divided into two separated gametes.
in this division the number of chromosomes won't be doubled. so gametes have the half number of a normal person chromosomes.

The microorganisms that inhabit the sludge at the bottom of a lake would live in which microbiota zone
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a lake, oxygenic phototrophs produce new organic material as  well as O₂. If primary production rates are very high, the resultant  excessive organic matter production can lead to bottom-water O₂ depletion from respiration and the development of anoxic conditions.  This in turn stimulates anaerobic metabolisms, including  anaerobic respirations and fermentations.

Organic matter that is not  consumed in surface layers sinks to the depths and is decomposed  by anaerobes.
