Hypotonic solutions are lowly concentrated solutions
Hypertonic are highly concentrated solutions
While isotonic have equally concentrated

When a cell is placed in a hypotonic sol water moves out of the cell by osmosis making the cell flaccid

based on what learned in bio202, arrange the following five events in an order that explains the mass flow of materials in the p
svp [43]

The correct order of the following events on the mass flow of materials in the phloem is:

  1. Leaf cells produce sugar by photosynthesis.
  2. Solutes are actively transported into sieve tubes.
  3. Water diffuses into the sieve tubes.
  4. Sugar moves down the stem.

Correct answer: letter C.

This is because the mass flow of materials in the phloem must pass through all these processes in a consecutive and orderly manner, from the cell to the stem, in order to allow nutrients and other vital materials to reach from the plant roots to the leaves and fruits.

<h3>How is this transport of nutrients and other vital materials achieved?</h3>

This is accomplished by the transport of solutes through the phloem's network of channels, which contain fluids, mineral salts, vitamins and other nutrients essential to plant health. Mass flow also helps distribute oxygen and carbon dioxide to all parts of the plant. These materials are necessary for plant respiration and growth.

Storage polysaccharides, like starch and glycogen, often contain over a million glucose units. The energetic cost of synthesizin
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Glucose present as monomers within the cell will exert more osmotic pressure than a single glycogen molecule, resulting in endosmosis and the lysing of cells.

Also, the presence of free glucose molecules will result in increase in weight of the liver due to lack of efficient packing as in glycogen as well as the association ofnthe glucose molecules with water molecules.

Explanation:

Glycogen is a polysaccharide composed of glucose monomer units linked to Each other by α-1,4-glycosidic binds. α-1,6-branches arises at about every 10th glucose residue in the straight chain. Thus animals more glucose molecules to be stored within a much smaller space, thereby incresing the bulkiness of glycogen. Glycogen molecules are insoluble in the aqueous medium of the cell because it doesn't have enough free polar groups to participate in hydrogen bonding with water and are stored as granules and therefore do not affect the water potential or osmotic balance of the cell.

On the other hand, glucose molecules are highly soluble in water because it has many free polar -OH grours that form hydrogen bonds with water. If the glucosyl residues in large numbers of glycogen molecules were replaced with an equivalent number of molecules of free glucose, the free glucose will exert a high osmotic pressure inside the cell, causing the entry of water in the cell by endosmosis resulting in swelling and lysis ofnthe cell. Also, the space occupied by these free glucose units within the cell will be much larger than that of glycogen whichmenables efficient packing ofthe glucose molecules.

Which cell organelle provides instructions to the Golgi apparatus on where the substances should be delivered?
ra1l [238]
The correct option is GOLGI VESICLES.
Golgi vesicle is a transporting structure that is found in the Golgi apparatus. The principal function of Golgi vesicle is to transport packaged proteins to their different locations within the cell.

In humans, oxygen is effectively delivered to the tissues because of the presence of several allosteric modulators. name three o
DerKrebs [107]
<span>Els moduladors al·lostèrics que actuen en els humans són el 2,3-Bisfosfoglicerat (2-3-BPG),el CO2 i els H+ . El 2,3-BPG s'uneix al centre del tetrà mer de l'estat T i així l'estabilitzà launió per interaccions iòniques. Els protons actuen perquè quan el pH és baix l'hemoglobinadisminueix la seva afinitat per l'oxigen (efecte Bohr). L'augment de la concentració del CO2 té el mateix efecte perquè el CO2 es combina en H2O i es dissocia en HCO3-i H+ i per aixòdisminueix l'afinitat de l'hemoglobina perquè augmenta la concentració de protons</span>
