I belive the answer would be "A" because the cell would be trying to delute the solution on the outside, and strenghting the solution on the inside.

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

The water will flow from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.

The cheek cell has 96% water while the medium in which it is placed has only 70% of water (as it has 30% of NaCl). Therefore the water will flow out from the cell into the medium where it is placed.

Hence, option a is correct.

When referring to cell division, oncogenes are most like ________ while tumor suppressor genes are most like ________. the brake
Inga [223]

Oncogenes are most like the gas pedal on a car, while tumor suppressor genes are most like the brakes on a car. Oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes are mutated in cancer cells.

Oncogenes are genes overexpressed in cells in which they should not be expressed, thereby leading to cancer.

Some examples of oncogenes are growth factors such as, for example, the  Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) or Epidermal growth factor (EGF).

Conversely, tumor suppressor genes are genes that act to regulate cell division and replication, thereby their inactivation also leads to cancer.

A well-known example of a tumor suppressor gene is the p53 gene that acts to control cell division and apoptosis (programmed cell death).

Primate evolution and behavior, such as hunting skills, have been directed in part by the development of depth perception. What
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The answer is the placement of the eyes.

Explanation:

Developing depth perception through evolution for reasons such as hunting and movement was crucial in the survival of the species and it was made possible by the change in the location of the eyes to the front of the head. Because of the location of the human eyes and the distance of approximately 6 centimeters between them, they perceive slightly different images of the world and this also helps with the depth perception.

I hope this answer helps.
