15. Suppose a human blood cell containing a 0.9 percent solute concentration were put into a container of 30 percent solute solution. Would the blood cell get bigger or smaller? Why? In your explanation, you must tell me which area has the hypotonic solution (inside the blood cell or outside the blood cell), which area has the hypertonic solution (inside the blood cell or outside the blood cell), and which direction the water would be moving (into the cell or out of the cell).
Answer:
Smaller
Explanation:
The human blood cell has a smaller percentage of solute concentration than the solution it was placed into. This means that the cell is hypotonic in comparison to the solution, and the solution is hypertonic compared to the cell. When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution it undergoes crenation, meaning it shrivels up. Water moves from the lower solute concentration to the higher solute concentration. The water inside the cell moves outside to the hypertonic solution. This causes the cell to become smaller.
Summer is coming and we are ready to get out and get in the sun. However, sun light has some ultraviolet light. When a UV photon is absorbed by a molecule of DNA, there are different ways the energy can be absorbed. One of the ways is that the energy of the photon can be converted into vibrational energy of the molecular bonds. Excessive vibration can damage the molecule by causing the bonds to break. UV light of less than 290 nm causes significant damage to DNA and UV light of longer wavelength causes minimal damage. What is the threshold photon energy, in eV, for DNA damage
Answer:
The threshold photon energy for DNA damage = 4.28 eV
Explanation:
According to the Planck - Einstein's equation, the energy of a photon, E is proportional to its frequency; E = hf where f is frequency and h is Planck's constant.
Also, frequency, f = velocity /wavelength
f = c/λ where c is the velocity of light
E = hc/λ
h = 6.63 × 10^-³⁴ Js;
c = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s;
Threshold wavelength, λ = 290 nm = 2.9 × 10^-7 m
E = (6.63 × 10^-³⁴ × 3.0 × 10⁸) / 2.9 × 10^-⁷
E = 6.85 × 10^-¹⁹ J
1 ev = 1.602 × 10^-¹⁹ J
6.85 × 10^-¹⁹ J = 6.85 × 10^-¹⁹ J × 1 eV / 1.602 × 10^-¹⁹ J = 4.28 eV
Therefore, the threshold photon energy for DNA damage = 4.28 eV

When a plant is hypertonic, what is
happening in the plant cell, and what
will the plant look like?
A. The vacuole is full and the plant
rigid
B. The vacuole is not full and the
plant is wilted
C. The plant is at equilibrium
Answer:
B. The vacuole is not full and the plant is wilted
Explanation:
When a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the water inside the cells is drawn out by osmosis. The vacuoles decrease in size. The cytoplasm also shrinks away from the cellulose cell wall and plasmolysis occurs. This causes a lack of structure for the plant and causes it to wilt, or become flaccid.
how virus shows both living and nonliving characteristic???
Answer:
Please find the explanation below
Explanation:
Virus is an organism that has been a topic of debate in biological sciences. This debate is based on whether virus should be classified as a living thing or not. However, it has been shown that viruses possess characteristics or properties of both living and non-living things.
The living thing characteristics include;
- Ability to reproduce or replicate (in living cells only and not on their own).
The nonliving characteristics include;
- Lack of cells, which is a strong criterion for every living thing in accordance to the universal cell theory.
- Inability to self-replicate i.e. reproduce on their own without a living host.

Which factor is most important when classifying organisms into the same
group?
O A. Similar diets
O B. Shared common names
C. Shared characteristics
O D. Similar locations
Answer:
C. Shared characteristics
Explanation:
Generally, living organisms are classified into groups based on their characteristics. Organisms that possess same or similar characteristics are grouped together while those that possess different characteristics are grouped separately.
Classification of living organisms include seven (7) levels of organization namely: kingdom, phylum, classes, order, families, genus, and species. Kingdom represent the MOST INCLUSIVE while species represent the MOST EXCLUSIVE i.e. contains the fewest members considering the fact that organisms with the most shared characteristics are grouped as species.

Explanation:
g Type I diabetes is caused by destruction of the beta cells of the pancreas, the cells that produce insulin. In most cases, the beta cells are destroyed by an immune response. Both genetic and environmental factors are involved in triggering the immune response. A. The immune system usually does NOT destroy the beta cells. If the cells are destroyed, it is a failure of (memory) (specificity)(tolerance) (any one of these) (none of these).
Answer:
it is a failure of tolerance (self-tolerance) and specificity (recognition)
Explanation:
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease caused by the selective destruction of β cells that are involved in the production of insulin in the pancreas. Type 1 diabetes can be classified into two types: Type 1A diabetes (the immune form of the disease) and Type 1B diabetes (the non-immune form of the disease). Type 1A diabetes is considered an autoimmune disorder where immune responses against pathogens suffer a failure of tolerance to antigens in the β-cells of the pancreatic islets. Thus, Type 1A diabetes is characterized by the process of recognition of β-cell antigens (autoantigens) by the immune system. This disease is often caused by genetic factors associated with mutations in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II region located on chromosome 6.

The disease multiple sclerosis makes it more difficult for signals from the brain and spinal cord to travel along nerve fibers. How will multiple sclerosis
affect other body tissues?
O Connective tissue will increase its fat storage.
O Muscle tissue will contract uncontrollably.
Epithelial tissue will lose the ability to protect against infection.
Tendons and ligaments will become brittle and break.
Answer:
O Muscle tissue will contract uncontrollably.
Explanation:
Multiple sclerosis, also known as encephalomyelitis disseminata, is a disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. Some of the most common symptoms of multiple sclerosis include vision problems, arm or leg movement and balance. This disease occurs when the immune system attacks the myelin sheath that covers nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, causing inflammation and subsequent damage of the sheath and the nerve fibers it surrounds. Multiple sclerosis may cause muscle twitches when nerve fibers are damaged, thereby disrupting the signaling between nerves and muscles.
Compare and contrast how B cells and T cells respond to pathogens.
Answer:
B cells produce and secrete antibodies, activating the immune system to destroy the pathogens.
T cells can only recognize viral anti-gens outside the infected cells whereas B cells can recognize the surface antigens of bacteria and viruses.
Helper T cells stimulate B cells to make antibodies and help killer T cells develop.
What are the two main ways bacteria cause illness?
A. By releasing toxins that poison your cells
B. By using your cells to make copies of themselves
C. By changing the genetic material inside your cells
D. By breaking down your cells for nutrients
Answer:
A. By releasing toxins that poison your cells
B. By using your cells to make copies of themselves
Explanation:
Within the body, bacteria can divide (multiply) and kill host cells by disrupting their normal functioning. Moreover, bacteria secrete toxins that are able to destroy host cells' metabolic machinery. For instance, many bacteria synthesize exoenzymes and interferons that disrupt and destroy host cells. Bacterial toxins can be synthesized internally in order to develop sensitivity through antigenic properties.
