Answer:
The correct answer is : The concentration of solute in the environment is equal to the concentration inside the cell.
Explanation:
Isotonic environment is an environment the amount of solute concentration is equal on both side of the semipermeable membrane or the cell. in such condition there would be no water movement towards particular direction or will take place and as there is no water movement so there would be no change in shape or size of the cell. The osmotic pressure in an isotonic environment would be same on both side of the membrane.
Thus, the correct answer is : The concentration of solute in the environment is equal to the concentration inside the cell.

Oxygen starvation in a cell will most likely lead to

Scrat [10]

The answer to this question would be: necrosis

Necrosis is the death of cell caused by various injury, one of them is oxygen starvation. Cells need a constant supply of energy to sustain its life. Without oxygen, the energy produced by cells will be decreased. When the energy is depleted, the cell will not be able to use ion pumps or any organelle that need energy. This will slowly damage the cell until it dies.

Which of the following shows an unsaturated fatty acid?

astra-53 [7]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A long hydrocarbon chain that consists a terminal carboxylic group is known as a fatty acid.

An unsaturated fatty acid consists a double bond within the fatty acid chain. If a fatty acid contains more than one double bond then it is known as polyunsaturated fatty acid.

For example, oelic acid has chemical formula $C_{18}H_{34}O_{2}$ is an unsaturated fatty acid.

Therefore, we can conclude that option (c) represents an unsaturated fatty acid.
