15. Suppose a human blood cell containing a 0.9 percent solute concentration were put into a container of 30 percent solute solu

tion. Would the blood cell get bigger or smaller? Why? In your explanation, you must tell me which area has the hypotonic solution (inside the blood cell or outside the blood cell), which area has the hypertonic solution (inside the blood cell or outside the blood cell), and which direction the water would be moving (into the cell or out of the cell).

Answer:

Smaller

Explanation:

The human blood cell has a smaller percentage of solute concentration than the solution it was placed into. This means that the cell is hypotonic in comparison to the solution, and the solution is hypertonic compared to the cell. When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution it undergoes crenation, meaning it shrivels up. Water moves from the lower solute concentration to the higher solute concentration. The water inside the cell moves outside to the hypertonic solution. This causes the cell to become smaller.

Which of these would BEST describe the structural difference between magnesium and aluminum?
Verdich [7]
The only true answer here is B. if you have a periodic table, you can see that Magnesium atomic number is 12 while Aluminium's is 13. this means Al has 1 more proton and weights more than magnesium since proton and neutrons contribute to the weights of the atoms.

<span>AUTOTROPH 1. an organism that can make its own food

Plants like algae are autotrophs. They produce their own food with the use of light, carbon dioxide, water, and other chemicals that are vital in their food producing activity. Aside from plants, there are autotroph organisms. An example of this is phytoplanktons. 

CALVIN CYCLE 2. the dark reaction process of photosynthesis that uses carbon dioxide for the synthesis of carbohydrates

The Calvin Cycle has three phases. These are 1) carbon fixation, 2) reduction reactions, and 3) RuBP regeneration. 
This cycle occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast and it converts carbon dioxide and other chemical compounds into glucose.

CAROTENOID PIGMENT 3. a pigment ranging in color from yellow to red; helpful in capturing the Sun's light energy for use in photosynthesis

Carotenoid is a plant pigment. It produces yellow, orange, and red colors of many fruits and vegetables. Carotenoid pigment is identified as a class of phytonutrients that benefits human health. People who consumes carotenoid rich fruits and vegetables enjoys the antioxidant property of the food as well as the Vitamin A that some carotenoid convert into. 

CHLOROPHYLL 4. a green pigment in plants that serves to trap the Sun's energy for photosynthesis

Chlorophyll is the combination of two Greek words "chloros" and "phyllon" which means green and leaf respectively. This pigment also contributes to human wellness as consumption of plants rich in chlorophyll are proven to be very healthy. These health benefits are 1) helps fight cancer, 2) improves liver detoxification, 3) speeds up the healing of wounds, 4) improves digestion and helps control weight, and 5) protects skin from skin virus like cold sores.

CHLOROPLAST 5. the tiny body that contains chlorophyll; part of the cell in which photosynthesis takes place

Chloroplast is a type of plastid that can be distinguished from other plastids due to its green color. Chloroplast is the only plastid that contains chlorophylls a and b, thus its green color. 

PHOTOSYNTHESIS 6. a process that involves the use of carbon dioxide and water in the production of glucose and oxygen using the Sun's energy

RADIATION 7. transfer of heat or energy through rays of various wavelengths

</span><span>Radiation is defined as energy travelling through space. Sunshine or sunlight is an example of radiation. Its ultra violet rays radiates heat on the earths' surface which in turn helps our autotrophs undergo photosynthesis.

In addition to naming species, Linnaeus also grouped species into a hierarchy of increasingly inclusive categories. The largest
Semmy [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is D) domain

Explanation:

The father of taxonomy is Linnaeus. Taxonomy helps in classify and naming organisms. The modern taxonomy has eight levels of classification. Domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.

Domain is the highest level of classification so it is the largest category that would include closely related species. When we go from domain towards species the number of similarities increase and number of organism decrease and vice versa is true when we move from species to domain. So the right answer is domain.
