A cell has 50% solute and 50% solvent. The solution the cell is siting in has 30%

Biology

tatuchka [14]3 years ago

If the membrane only allows osmosis to take place, the cell would shrink.

Osmosis is the thermal movement of water molecule (solvents) through a selectively permeable membrane (the cell membrane) from a region of low concentration of solute to a region of high concentration of solute.

When a cell contains 50% solute and 50% solvent is means it is isotonic.

When a solution surrounding a cell contains more solute (70%) and less solvent (30%) than the cell, it is said to be hypertonic.

Therefore when an isotonic cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, there would be movement of water molecules from the cell, which has low concentration of solute to the surrounding solution with high solute concentration.

Age why does the skeletal system become more brittle and susceptible to breakage?
dusya [7]

After age 50, bone breakdown (resorption) outpaces bone formation and bone loss often accelerates, particularly at the time of menopause.

What is Osteoporosis ?

Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and brittle — so brittle that a fall or even mild stresses such as bending over or coughing can cause a fracture. Osteoporosis-related fractures most commonly occur in the hip, wrist or spine. Bone is living tissue that is constantly being broken down and replaced.

Osteoporosis is a disorder where your bones become brittle, fragile, and easily breakable as you age because certain minerals begin to leach out of them. Because estrogen, which helps keep bones strong, is lost during menopause, women over 50 are particularly at risk for osteoporosis.

What happens first when the amount of sunlight decreases?
dezoksy [38]
Light energy absorbed by chlorophyll is converted into chemical energy. Some of this energy is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Some of the chemical energy is used to make ATP from ADP and phosphate (Pi). This chemical energy is stored as ATP.
