4 0

A solution to be isotonic refers to b) The concentration of solute in the environment and the concentration inside the cell are at equilibrium.

Isotonic solution is the solution that have equal concentration of solute on both sides of the solution separated by a membrane.
If a cell is kept in an isotonic solution that means the concentration of the solute inside the cell is the same as that of the outside then the movement of solvent does not occur between the cell and the external environment.
The osmotic pressure inside the cell and outside the cell across the semipermeable membrane of the cell becomes the same due to equal concentration of the solute on each side.

0.9% normal saline is an example of isotonic solution.

snow_lady [41]

<span>Studying the gross anatomy of a cadaver can show an individual the total physiology of a human. By dissecting a cadaver or deceased human, you can study the nervous and cardiovascular system as well as the organs and other internal tissues. For example, muscle origin and insertions on bone, blood supply to the muscle and nervous stimulation of the muscle can be studied. Other areas that can be seen are the location of major organs in the thorax and the blood supply to each of them. The discovery of how the cadaver died can also bee seen during the dissection in many cases.</span>

Does hot water tend to rise or sink? Explain.

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

When fluids (liquids and gases) are heated, they expand and therefore become less dense. Any object or substance that is less dense than a fluid will float in that fluid, so hot water rises (floats) in colder water.

Explanation:

When you heat up water, the water molecules start moving around faster and faster. ... So hot water is less dense than cold water. When you put the two together with the hot water on the bottom, the hot water rises to the top.
