Compare hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solutions. When an environment is hypotonic, what happens to the cell?

When an environment is hypotonic, the cell has more solute so solvent move from outside the cell to inside causing the cell to swell.

WHAT IS TONICITY?

  • Tonicity is the ability of a solution to induce water loss or water gain in a cell. A solution can either be; hypertonic, hypotonic or isotonic

  • A hypertonic solution has more concentration of solute than its surroundings while a hypotonic solution has less concentration of solute compared to it's surroundings.

  • If a hypotonic solution has less solute, this means that it will have more solvent (water). Based on the principle of osmosis, water moves from a region of high concentration to region of low concentration.

Hence, water will move into a cell that is located in a hypotonic environment, causing it to swell.

➷ The correct answer would be D. Products of one process are used as some of the reactants for the other processes.

As you may know, the formula for photosynthesis is:

carbon dioxide + water ==> oxygen + glucose

And the formula for respiration is:

oxygen + glucose ==> carbon dioxide + water

The reactants for one are the products for the other and vice versa. This is why it would be the correct option.

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is b.Amplify the gene using PCR. Insert the gene into a plasmid vector. Transform the vector into the bacteria.

Explanation:

If I have a very small amount of gene for a fluorescent protein than the first step is to amplify the gene so that appropriate protein can be produced. PCR is the instrument that is used to amplify the protein.

So after amplification of the gene, the plasmid vector will be used in which the gene will be inserted because the plasmid vector is used to insert this gene in host cells where protein will be expressed.

The final step will be to transform bacteria with recombinant plasmid so that plasmid can make its copy and express a fluorescent protein in bulk.
