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.

Explanation;

-Complement is a system of plasma proteins that can be activated directly by pathogens or indirectly by pathogen-bound antibody, leading to a cascade of reactions that occurs on the surface of pathogens and generates active components with various effector functions.

-C3b is the larger of two elements formed by the cleavage of complement component 3, and is considered an important part of the innate immune system. C3b is potent in opsonization: tagging pathogens, immune complexes (antigen-antibody), and apoptotic cells for phagocytosis.

View the model of the United States. Which is a likely limitation of this model?
Mama L [17]
<span>Correct answer:
"C.it does not show mountains regions."

All the other options are present in the map and therefore would not present a limitation of the model. Mountains' regions are not shown on the map and that could be a limitation, mostly for someone that's looking to know the relief of America. A map showing relief would have to use</span><span> different colours or textures to represent the height or depth of America's terrain.</span>
