GalinKa [24]3 years ago

Hypertonic solution means the solution with a lower water potential than the cell cytoplasm, such as salt water.

When the red blood cell is put into it, since the cell has a higher water potential than the solution, water molecules will flow from the cell back into the water due to osmosis.

Osmosis is always where water molecules flow from a region of higher water potential to lower, through a semi permeable membrane (Whcih is the red blood cell membrane in this case.)

Since water flowed out of the cell, the cell lose water and shrinks.

Hypotonic solution is where the solution that has a higher water potential than the cell cytoplasm.

So when the red blood cell is put in that solution, the water will flow from the solution into the cell this time, by osmosis.

The red blood cell will then gain so much water that the cell membrane cannot hold all and therefore burst.

Exposure of zebrafish nuclei to meiotic cytosol resulted in phosphorylation of NEP55 and L68 proteins by cyclin-dependent kinase
Tpy6a [65]

Answer: THEY ARE INVOLVED IN THE DISASSEMBLY OF THE NUCLEAR ENVELOPE

Explanation: The disassembly of the nuclear envelope is triggered by the cyclin‐dependent kinase at the onset of mitosis. At this point, Integral nuclear membrane proteins diffuse/move into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) after nuclear envelope breakdown. The nuclear envelope reassembles around compact chromosome mass at late anaphase/telophase and the chromosomes condenses and become visible.

Which organism has the least differences in the number of amino acids in cytochrome c compared to
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Using the number of amino acid differences, it would appear that the two birds are more closely related (had a common ancestor very recently), while the two fungi would have to trace their common ancestry much farther back in time (much more distantly related).
