<span>The answer is that cell will shrink.</span>

<span>If you put an animal cell in a hypertonic solution means that concentration of the solutes is greater outside the cell, in the solution, than in the cell. Consequently,</span> the water concentration of the cell's cytoplasm is higher than that of the hypertonic solution. Since the aim is to balance water concentration on the inside and outside of the cell, the water will exit the cell. The cell will lose water and, consequently, will shrink in size.

Conclude Assess what kinds of traits make invertebrate such a diverse group of animals.

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Invertebrates have a very quick life cycle and die very easily, as a result, they evolve very quickly into many different types of animals. also, they are often very small and their ecosystems are subject to much quicker change than that of vertebrates, meaning that mutations in their genes become relevant more often. Many invertebrates span very large areas (sea animals span most of the oceans, insects span entire continents) and so they evolve to be different species in different places.

They do not have bones, they live on water or land, they can have soft bodies or exoskeletons, and others are parasites.

The pluripotent, undifferentiated cells in the bone marrow that give rise to the formed elements are called _____ cells

LuckyWell [14K]

The pluripotent, undifferentiated cells in the bone marrow that give rise to the formed elements are called stem cells.

Pluripotent stem cells have the ability to undergo self-renewal and to give rise to all cells of the tissues of the body. However, this definition has been recently complicated by the existence of distinct cellular states that display these features.

There are two types of pluripotent stem cells :

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs)
Induced pluripotent stem cells

Embryonic stem cells are derived from the inner cell mass (ICM) of pre-implantation embryos and can be indefinitely maintained and expanded in the pluripotent state in vitro. Pluripotent stem cells can also be obtained by inducing dedifferentiation of adult somatic cells through a recently developed in vitro technology, known as cell reprogramming.

Similarly to Embryonic stem cells , Induced pluripotent stem cells can be expanded indefinitely and they are capable to differentiate in all the derivatives of the three germ layers.

Another intriguing features of being pluripotent is its reliance on gene expression heterogeneity.
