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.

Which of the following best describes a benefit of one type of nonrenewable energy? (2 points)
KIM [24]
Natural gas and petroleum, upon burning, produce carbon dioxide. If you look at methane and the such, these hydrocarbons react with oxygen forming carbon dioxide and water.

The claim that petroleum is not carbon based is downright wrong. Methane is a hydrocarbon, and petroleum is a combination of complex hydrocarbons with varying chains of carbon atoms, some having 6 carbon atoms, others 60, giving it the viscous feel.

Coal deposits may be found in many places, but are still scarce and poses A LOT of risks, for example children were often harmed during the Industrial Revolution as a result of breathing in too much of the dirty air. Even now, coal mining is not without risk.

The only right answer then is the last one, where nuclear power does not produce air pollution. It relies on nuclear fission, where upon the splitting of uranium atoms they release energy, and this energy is harnessed by scientists for the betterment of all.
