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.

Who is most in danger from the effects of overfishing ?
faltersainse [42]

I don't think we can answer this question just like that. The question should be formulated a bit differently:

WHAT is in danger from the effects of overfishing?


Well, in the end of the "effect-spectrum" we are in danger, since we also eat fish. But the most affected species are the ones that form the aquatic ecosystems. Such as fish. Examples:

1 - Many of the fish we eat, feed on sea-weed. If there aren't enough fish to eat the growing population of sea-weed, many fish die of intoxication.

2 - We don't have almost any fish restrictions in a way, because we can eat basically all of them. Therefore, many fish (which are also being eaten) find themselves in a lack of food.

3 - Many times, we concentrate on a specific species, which is a main cause of the extinction of species.



Hope it helped,

Which of the following is true?
Arlecino [84]

During meiosis but not during mitosis, which of the following is true? __.

A haploid gametes are produced that are identical in their allelic composition

B the cytoplasm divides

C chromosomes line up in the center of the cell during metaphase

D genetic variation among the daughter cells is increased

E two identical daughter cells are produced

Answer:

D. genetic variation among the daughter cells is increased

Explanation:

Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce four cells containing half the original amount of genetic information. Meiosis occurs in germ cells, as a result; genetic variation among the daughter cells is increased. These cells (germ cells) are our sex cells – sperm in males, eggs in females.

In meiosis, the haploid gametes that are produced are not identical in their allelic composition.

In prophase 1, the chromosome pair up.

During metaphase, The chromosome pairs line up next to each other along the center (equator) of the cell.
