Why plant cell does not burst even if placed constantly in hypotonic solution?

Biology
1 answer:
lubasha [3.4K]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

It's simply law of osmosis.

In osmosis solvent particles move from lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration until both the solution acquire the same concentration. So when a plant cell is kept in hypertonic solution (having more solute concentration), the solvent particles move outside the cell causing it to shrink, which is also known as plasmolysis of cell.

When a plant cell is kept in hypotonic solution (having less solute concentration), the solvent particles move inside the cell causing it to swell up which is also known as deplasmolysis. But due to the presence of cell wall, plant cell can not burst. Cell wall is a very stratchable boundary made up of cellulose mainly which makes the plant cell non-collapsable (but animal cells can burst in hypotonic solution due to absence of cell wall)

Have a great day!!!!!!!!

Our interconnected neurons help us process different types of information. Synapses are the gaps between neurons. <span>When an impulse reaches the end of one axon, it is now an action potential. This electric signal cannot leap across this gap so as to speak. Special chemicals called neurotransmitters have this role to be possible. The best answer is thus neurotransmitters. </span>

Lorico [155]

Answer:

0.8

Explanation:

There is a population where the frequencies of allele 1 and allele 2 are 0.7 and 0.3, respectively

Let's use GG to represent allele 1

Let's use gg to represent allele 2

So we can equally say that;

GG = p = 0.7

gg = q  = 0.3   ( from Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium)

So, given that the selection coefficient = 0.2

We known that the cross between GG and gg will definitely results to (GG,Gg and gg)

Then the fitness of these genes can be represented as:

1 - s, 1 and 1 - t respectively.

Thus. the allele 1's genotype fitness can be determined as

= 1 - s    ( where s is the selection coefficient)

= 1 - 0.2

= 0.8

ioda
The Earth turns on its axis every day; it orbits the sun, just like all the other planets in our Solar System. You can cross out D and A, obviously. Which leaves us with answers B and C. Now, C says that the Earth turns clockwise, which is false; when viewed from space, they determined it turned counter-clockwise, which leaves us with B. Hope this helped
