Por que las hojas de la lechuga se ponen turgentes al dejarla en agua y luego al preparar la ensalda se arruga

Answer: Las células de la lechuga son hipertónicas al agua fresca (el agua entra en las células y se hinchan) pero hipotónicas a una solución salina (el agua sale de la célula y se arruga)

Explanation:

La lechuga (<em>Lactuca sativa</em>) es una planta de la familia <em>Asteraceae, </em>que se cultiva sobre todo como verdura de hoja para su consumo, aunque también se utilizan las semillas y el tallo. La lechuga se utiliza especialmente para las ensaladas, aunque también se ve en otros tipos de comida, como sopas o sándwiches.

Cuando la hoja de lechuga se deja en agua, dicha agua entra en las células mediante ósmosis, el cual es es un mecanismo de difusión pasiva en donde el agua se transporta a través de una membrana semipermeable yendo desde la región de mayor concentración al de menor concentración.  Cuando se coloca una célula vegetal (en este caso de lechuga pero puede ser de cualquier vegetal) en una solución hipotónica, <u>el agua se desplazará hacia las células vegetales y éstas se hincharán</u>. Esto se debe a que una solución hipotónica es una solución que tiene una menor concentración de solutos en comparación con otra solución en el interior de la célula.

En el caso en el que se prepara una ensalada, las hojas de lechuga se arrugan porque al agregar sal, <u>el medio se convierte en hipertónico y a través de ósmosis, el agua saldrá del interior de la célula y por ello, se arrugan</u>. Hipertónico significa que el entorno exterior a la célula tiene una mayor concentración de solutos que la propia célula.  Además, las células de la lechuga están cubiertas por una capa impermeable y esto evita que el agua salga de la célula al medio exterior y que la sal entre desde ese medio.

Entonces, las células de la lechuga son hipertónicas al agua fresca pero hipotónicas a una solución salina (agua con sal).

in humans, a combination of XX chromosomes results in a female zygote and that of XY result in a male zygotes. From whom does th
devlian [24]
The answer is: from mother

In a human diploid somatic cell (2n), there are<span> in total 46 chromosomes</span> - 22 autosomal chromosomes present in two copies and 1 pair of sex chromosomes. This means there are 23 pairs of chromosomes. In males, there is one X and one Y chromosome (XY) while in females, there are two XX chromosomes (XY).
During the formation of gametes, a female could give only X chromosomes, so gametes from the mother contain one X chromosome. But, a male could give X or Y chromosome, so gametes from the father contain either X or Y chromosome.
Female gamete and male gamete fuse to form a zygote. Male zygote must contain both X and Y chromosome. It inherits Y chromosome only from the father, so X chromosome must be inherited from the mother.

What is the difference between threatened, endangered, and extinct species?
mario62 [17]
Threatened means they are lowering in numbers and nearing to be endangered. 

Endangered means they are dangerously close to being extinct

Extinct means there is none of them left in the wild. 

I hope this is what you meant.

professor190 [17]

Answer:

The situation in which some individuals have greater reproductive success than other individuals in a population. Along with variation and heritability, it is one of the three conditions necessary for evolution by natural selection.

There are so many factors that contributed to this over time, reproductive success differs and it could be attributed to hereditary and variation as well. Most often, the hereditary plays the most role out of all as the viability of both eggs and sperms could have been inherited from parents or being affected as a result of environmental factor or nutrition or other factors.

For instance, if one has a rhesus factor of negative and went ahead to marry another male counterpart with negative rhesus factor, this sedomly leads to miscarriage which could have been controlled had it been they were thoroughly counseled. Furthermore, physical factor such as accident could damage one spermatical vessicles that houses the sperm cells which render such an individual to be unable to donate a viable sperm cell for reproduction.

Those with high rate of reproductive success thrives as result of having many offspring which increases their chances of having more offspring than those with little success rate.
