Well I'm not exactly certain where the teacher is going with this, but an often used example is red blood cells (RBCs) aka: erythrocytes.
RBCs are suspended in blood plasma as they flood through vessels around and around the body, so the osmolarity (amount of small particles that affect osmosis) must remain relatively constant. This is termed "isotonic", meaning the same amount of osmosis-influencing particles that are there inside the RBCs' cytosol, within their plasma membranes.
If the plasma osmolarity get too high, called hypertonic (as with extra salt particles) then water inside the RBCs will have an osmotic force driving it out of the cells' membranes, to flow where there are more salt particles. This will lead to cell shrinkage (called "crenation").
Counter to that, if the plasma osmolarity gets too low, as due to low plasma salt with excessive water intake (for example from the condition "water intoxication"), then the plasma will be hypotonic with respect to the intracellular cytosol concentration. This can result in water rushing into the RBCs' membranes via osmosis, causing the cells to swell from discs into spheres (balls), or even rupture and burst (a phenomenon called "hemolysis").

HOPE THOSE EXAMPLES HELP!!

A scientist is interested in making a rice plant that produces a vaccine protein in the rice. This would mean that vaccinations
maw [93]

Answer: Vaccine protein coding sequence; regulatory sequence of a rice gene

Explanation:

The production of this kind of rice will need the incorporation of vaccine protein coding sequence with regulatory sequence of the rice gene.

This is a type of DNA vaccine. The DNA contains the codes for specific protein( antigen) from pathogen.

This DNA will be injected in host cell to synthesize proteins that rely on the genetic code in the plasmid that they have taken up.

This states that the coding sequence of the vaccine will be integrated into the regulatory sequence of rice and hence, the protein produces will be antigen specific which inturn will tend to evoke the immune system to produce antibodies against it.
