Answer:

The clam would die. This is because its cells would swell up and lyse. The freshwater is hypotonic to the cell’s protoplasm. Water, therefore, enters the cells through osmosis and the cell swell up until the water pressure inside causes them to burst. The cells die and therefore the clam is unable to survive in the freshwater.

The salt in the popcorn is taken up by the body and hence the concentration of electrolytes in the blood slightly increases. This causes a feedback mechanism to be  initiated by the body –hypothalamus in particular-  to restore electrolyte homeostasis. The thirst is as a result of an increase in antidiuretic hormone in the body produced by the pituitary gland.

Cancer cells are less likely than normal cells to undergo _______, or programmed cell death.
laila [671]

Cancer cells are less likely than normal cells to undergo _apoptosis______, or programmed cell death.

Apoptosis is synonymous to programmed cell death

Explanation:

Programed cells death of the cell is required to maintain proper tissue homeostasis. Examples of when apoptosis is necessary are when a cell may have errors in its DNA replication process. Apoptosis ensures the cell does not continue dividing and generating cells with the error. Other forms of damage to a cell that is hard to repair  also require that the cell undergo apoptosis.

In cancer cells, apoptosis pathway faulted and even when cells are required to undergo programmed cell death, such as in the case when lethal mutations occur, the cell continues to divide creating many cells that have the defect. This is what creates cancer tumors,
