Explain why plant cells do not "diminish" in overall size when they lose water.

Biology
1 answer:
kari74 [83]3 years ago
4 0

If a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the plant cell loses water and hence turgor pressure by plasmolysis: pressure decreases to the point where the protoplasm of the cell peels away from the cell wall, leaving gaps between the cell wall and the membrane and making the plant cell shrink and crumple.

Woven bone Select one: a. has its collagen fibers randomly oriented. b. has a porous appearance. c. is organized into thin sheet
kogti [31]

Answer: A . Has its collagen fibers randomly orientated.

Explanation:

In the microscopic anatomy of the bone, an osteon (basic microscope unit of the bone) can be arranged into two categories; woven bone or lamellar bone.

As the name suggests woven bone is characterized by the random orientation of the collagen fibers . These collagen fibers haphazardly form to give the visual appearance of an intertwined (woven) network of collagen fibers.

Due to the randomness of the collagen fibers orientation woven bone is thus mechanically weaker than lamellar bone. Woven bone is formed/produced when osteoblasts produce osteoids rapidly within the bone matrix thus woven bone has the ability to form quickly as needed.

Woven bone is thus immature bone or pathologic bone with no stress orientation, it has a high percentage of osteocytes per unit volume and a high rate of turnover.

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The chemical basis of Chargaff"s rule is the bonding properties of  the DNA bases.

Explanation:

According to the Chargaff"s rule in a DNA molecule the total number of purine bases are equal with the total number of pyrimidine bases  that means

   Adenine +Guanine=Thymine +Cytosine

In simple words the rule is based on the 1:1 ratio of both purine and pyrimidine bases.
