Human red blood cells contain 0.9% sodium chloride as a component of their cytoplasm. What would happen if an IV solution contai

Answer:

Red blood cells will shrink because it is a hypertonic solution.

Explanation:

The sodium chloride concentration is higher: 1.5% > 0.9%, so it is a hypertonic solution. If the cells are immersed in a hypertonic medium - which is, a medium with a sodium chloride concentration higher than the concentration inside the cells - the water cells will move out from the cell. In consequence, the cells will lose water and they will shrink.

Pictured is a ribosome. How are ribosomes different from most other cell organelles?
shusha [124]
C. They are not enclosed by a membrane. 

D is incorrect because Ribosomes do not contain DNA, the nucleolus does.
B is also incorrect because they aren't located outside the cell, they're in the cell, on the endoplasmic reticulum.

Mitochondria, the organelles involved in cellular respiration, can also generate chemicals called reactive oxygen species (ROSs)
ch4aika [34]

<u>Answer:</u>

Mitochondria, the organelles involved in cellular respiration, can also generate chemicals called reactive oxygen species (ROSs). ROSs can damage mitochondria. Damaged mitochondria generate more ROSs than healthy mitochondria. This is an example of a positive feedback mechanism

The reactive oxygen species that are given out by the mitochondria during cellular respiration are the major cause of aging. Though this has a lot of negative effects but this also has a small amount of positive effects such as the start of angiogenesis or cell proliferation.

Environmental factors can influence natural selection because they can increase or decrease
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Environmental factors can influence natural selection because they can increase or decrease the amount of genetic variation in a population.

Explanation:

Natural selection is a process that involves the survival of species through changes in the expression of their genes, making possible the process of adaptation to environmental changes. It is one of the explanations for the biological evolution of species.

The second premise, necessary for natural selection to be possible, implies the existence of a variability (genetics) of traits among individuals in a population.

The other premises of natural selection are the faculty of traits to be inheritable and that genetic variability should lead to reproductive success and survival.

  • <em>The other options are not related to the process of natural selection, since it is not possible for natural selection to increase or decrease the number of chromosomes, in addition to the fact that genetic variability must be observed in a population, not in a single individual, to be considered natural selection </em>
