1. What type of response will a red blood cell have when placed in a hypertonic solution?

Biology

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.

If a test tube has been used, and its contents is supposed to be disposed, carefully pour the contents to the lavatory with a confirmation of a professional (as it may damage the pipelines of the sink) and ensure that there are no splashes created that can contact the human skin. Wash the test tube thoroughly and let dry.

Why is salivary amylase active for only an hour or so, whereas lingual lipase isn't active until reaching the stomach
leva [86]

Salivary amylase will be active for only an hour or so because the optimum pH for activity of amylase is about 6.7–7.0 which is available in the mouth but the pH of the stomach is acidic around 1-2 due to which the amylase enzyme becomes inactive in short-time.

The lingual lipase enzyme is present in the saliva but isn't active until reaching the stomach because this enzyme is acid stable and works efficiently in the stomach, not in the mouth.

Amylase enzyme is secreted in the mouth and is responsible for the breakdown of starch in food into sugars and it starts acting as soon as we put food in the mouth whereas Lingual lipase enzyme is secreted along with saliva but it is not active in the mouth rather its activity starts in the stomach which is responsible for the degradation of triacylglycerol molecules.
