What might happen to the cell if it were suddenly unable to use lipids?

(A) It would not be able to make proteins or transfer substances to other cells

(B) Would not be able to transfer genetic information to other cells

(C) It would not be able to store energy or communicate with other cells

<em>(D)</em> It would not be able to store water or protect itself from viruses

Explanation:

<em>Water moves in and out of a cell in conformity with the concentration gradient formed between the membrane of the cell and the extracellular solution. The process whereby the water moves from a region of low solute concentration to a high solute concentration via a semi-permeable membrane is called OSMOSIS. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>In this case, the solute concentration of the blood cannot be regulated, hence, it rises. This causes the solute concentration of the blood to be high or is said to be hypertonic than the cell's. This creates an osmotic gradient causing water to flow out of the hypotonic (low solute concentration) cell into the hypertonic extracellular environment (blood). Once water flows out of the cell as a result of osmosis, the cell shrinks or shrivels i.e. reduce in size.</em>

What is the advantage of radial symmetry for sessile animals such as hydras and bilateral symmetry for mobile animals such as pl
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

- Radial symmetry is advantageous because sessile animals can "sit down", take food, or sense harmful environmental conditions from different directions.  

- Bilateral symmetry allows motile animals to move straight forward.

- The major evolutionary advantages of bilateral symmetry include cephalization, the formation of a head and tail area and a more directional motion.

Explanation:

Radial symmetry is advantageous for sessile organisms since it enables the uniform distribution of the sensory receptors around the body. In consequence, sessile organisms can react to environmental stimuli from every direction. On the other hand, bilateral symmetry allows motile organisms the arrangement of a specialized nervous system from the anterior end of the organism (i.e., the 'head'). Moreover, another important advantage of bilateral symmetry is the ability to equalize environmental pressures on both sides of the body, thereby enabling a rectilinear motion.

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Man encourages his sister to see a genetic counselor in order to find out that she has the genetic disease or not.

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis is genetic disease that can transfer from parents to their offspring. This is a very dangerous disease which decrease the life span of patient and the patient die in early stages of life. The man with Cystic fibrosis disease encourage his sister to go to the genetic counselor to find out the presence of disease in her blood because she is planning a baby and we know that this is a hereditary disease so if she has this disease it will transfer to her child.
