If a fresh cucumber slice is placed in very salty water, which direction will the water move, into the cells of the cucumber or

out of the cucumber?

IRISSAK [1]3 years ago

If we sprinkle salt on cucumber slices, it releases water after some time due to the process of osmosis. Osmosis is a process where solute or salt from higher concentration moves towards lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. Here, in this case, the salt concentration is more outside on the cucumber slices. The individual cell membrane of cells present in cucumber slices acts as a semi-permeable membrane. Inside the cucumber cells, there is less concentration of salt or solute and more concentration of water. Therefore, the salt from outside goes inside individual cells and the water comes out as it also travels from higher concentration to outside lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.

Answer:

La reproducción sexual consisten en la unión de dos gametos uno femenino y otro masculino, para formar un nuevo individuo con características provenientes de ambos progenitores. Los gametos son células especializadas que se forman por un proceso meiótico y tienen en su núcleo la mitad de la información genética de un organismo, por lo que reciben el nombre de células haploides de manera que cuando se une sus cromosomas se forman células diploides característico de la especie. La característica más importante de este tipo de reproducción es la variación genética que implica que los descendientes tengan características de sus dos progenitores, por lo que son diferentes a ellos. El proceso en el que se une las células sexuales se le conoce como fecundación. En los animales esta pude ser interna o externa.

Explanation:

Los gametos (óvulos y espermatozoides) son células germinales especializadas que se desarrollan a partir de un proceso llamado gametogénesis (espermatogénesis en machos y ovogénesis en hembras). El proceso de gametogénesis implica un tipo de división celular llamado 'meiosis' donde la cantidad de cromosomas se reduce a la mitad. En humanos, el número cromosómico diploide (2n) de 46 cromosomas se reduce a un número haploide (n) de 23 cromosomas. La fecundación es el proceso por el cual los gametos se fusionan durante la reproducción sexual para producir un cigoto diploide. En la reproducción sexual, el aumento de la variación genética en la progenie es un resultado de tres procesos diferentes: la unión aleatoria entre gametos durante la fecundación, la distribución independiente de los cromosomas durante la gametogénesis y el entrecruzamiento (recombinación o crossing over) entre cromátidas de cromosomas homólogos durante la meiosis. Finalmente, en animales, la fecundación puede ser interna, la cual se produce mediante la unión de los gametos dentro del cuerpo de la hembra (por ejemplo, gallina, leona, cebra, etc.), o fecundación externa, donde la fusión de gametos se produce en el ambiente externo (por ejemplo en peces, sapos, ranas, etc.).

Which scenario describes a way that an abiotic factor can impact a marine system? Liquid water turning into solid ice encourages
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Rapid increases in water temperature cause extensive fish kills

Explanation:

Biotic factors are all living organisms that contribute to an ecosystem. On the other hand, abiotic factors are non-living factors, such as climatic factors (temperature, rainfall, wind), edaphic factors (soil type, soil texture, soil aeration etc). Changes of abiotic factors can have a huge influence on living organisms of ecosystem. The effects might be benefical or harmful.

Some of the most common abiotic factors that can impact a marine ecosystem are water temperature, currents, light, alkalinity, oxygent concentration etc.

Mice21 [21]

Correct Completed  Questions; Susan, a 67 year old female is experiencing ataxia, or poor muscle coordination. Doctors perform a neurological exam and they find that Susan is not positive for the Romberg test. Describe what these findings suggest about the sources of Susan's ataxia.

Answer:s

In order to test for balance and positioning(proprioception)   as a measure of  neurological function, or to test level   of intoxication alcohol  during driving, Romberg test is usually conducted,which can be negative or positive.It is generally used to investigate the cause of loss of motor control in individuals.

Explanation:

A positive result  showed that her  ataxia was due to loss of positioning due to loss of  sensory from sensory neurons.However if negative as in the case of Susan, then it  is to due to abnormality/dysfunctions   in the cerebellum, and not due to loss of sensory functions,
