Answer:

1. The cells in our bodies are surrounded by these types of solutions. → Isotonic solution.

3. When an animal cell is places in this solution, it will burst (get layer)  → Hypotonic solution.

4. When an animal cell is placed in this solution, it will shrivel or shrink (get smaller) → Hypertonic solution.

5. This is a solution with more solute than the cell. Hypertonic solution.

Explanation:

The cells in the body are in a balance of substances —concentration of solutes— between their cytoplasm and the extracellular space. This balance is dynamic in living beings, due to the constant exchange of ions and substances between the intracellular and extracellular space.  For this reason, the extracellular medium is isotonic with the cytoplasm.

<u>A cell can lose or gain water depending on the amount of solutes that a medium has in which it is found</u>, with respect to the cytoplasm. This difference in solutes concentrations produces an osmotic gradient that drags water from the least concentrated solution to the most concentrated, through the process of osmosis, which seeks to achieve an equilibrium of concentrations.

  • <em>When a animal cell is exposed to a </em><em>hypertonic solution</em><em> </em>—<em>with a higher concentration of solutes</em>— <em>it loses water and tends to </em><em>dehydrate and become smaller</em><em>.</em>
  • <em>An animal cell in a </em><em>hypotonic solution</em><em> receives water, so it can </em><em>expand and even burst</em><em>.</em>

In practice, the concentrations of intracellular and extracellular solutes depend not only on the osmotic gradient, but also on the concentration gradient of substances.

How was HMS Beagle's voyage significant to science?
Kamila [148]
It was the trip that Charles Darwin went on in attempt to find the answer of how animals got on earth in the first place and how they changed over time. This later on helped him discover evolution and natural selection. The most significant find on this voyage was that he found that different types of finches evolved to the food around them. Smaller beaks meant the finch ate more small nutrients but larger beaks meant the finch ate more harder prey such as fish and worms.
