A de-shelled egg is placed in tap water. The egg grows in size.

What is the best explanation for this change in size?


Ions in the water moved into the cell through diffusion because there were more ions outside the cell than inside the cell.

Water moved into the cell by osmosis because the solute concentration was higher inside the cell than outside the cell.

Water moved out of the cell by osmosis because the solute concentration was higher outside the cell than inside the cell.

Water moved into the cell by diffusion because there is more water inside the cell than outside the cell.

Answer 2

The best explanation for the change in the egg's size is that Water moved into the cell by osmosis because the solute concentration was higher inside the cell than outside the cell. Option B.

--------------------------------------------

When talking about solutions, we can classify them as follows,

Hypertonic ⇒ A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of solute than the cell. This means that in the cell interior, the solute concentration is lower than in the solution itself.  

Isotonic ⇒ The solute concentration is the same inside the cell and outside.  

Hypotonic ⇒ A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solute than the cell. This means that in the cell interior, the solute concentration is higher than in the solution itself.  

Water is considered to be a hypotonic solution.

When a cell is in a hypotonic solution, through osmosis, water moves toward the cell.  

Note: In this example, the egg is the cell.

Osmosis is the phenomenon that occurs when two dilutions of different concentrations -in this example, the interior of the cell and the solution- are separated by a semipermeable membrane.

The membrane allows the pass of water but not solute. Hence, water can move from the most diluted side to the less diluted one.  

Water tends to go from the hypotonic solution to the cell interior and keeps doing so until concentrations are equal in the cell interior and exterior.

As water enters the cell, the cell begins to enlarge and becomes bigger-sized. And because cells can not limit the amount of water moving in, it keeps swelling until the membrane can not stretch anymore, and lysis occurs. It bursts.  

What we need to consider is

When a cell with a semipermeable membrane is placed in a hypotonic solution, water enters the cell.

When a cell with a semipermeable membrane is placed in an isotonic solution, there is no water movement.  

When a cell with a semipermeable membrane is placed in a hypertonic solution, water gets out of the cell.

So, the best explanation for the change in the egg's size is Water moved into the cell by osmosis because the solute concentration was higher inside the cell than outside the cell. Option B.

Many of the hardest rocks are metamorphic rocks. Why do you think metamorphic rocks are harder than sedimentary rocks?

Answers

Answer:

Metamorphic rocks are almost always harder than sedimentary rocks. They are generally as hard and sometimes harder than igneous rocks. They form the roots of many mountain chains and are exposed to the surface after the softer outer layers of rocks are eroded away.  

Because their mineral grains grew together tightly during metamorphism, they're generally strong rocks.

Fibroblasts can be placed on thin sheets of silicone rubber. Under normal circumstances, fibroblasts exert sufficient tension on the rubber so that it visibly wrinkles. Explain how the ability of fibroblasts to wrinkle rubber would change if the cells were treated with a permeable form of C3 transferase, a toxin (from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum) that covalently modifies an amino acid in Rho. The modification renders Rho unable to bind to proteins that it would normally bind to when active.

Answers

Answer:

C3 transferase decreases Rho activity and contractility by decreasing the number of stress fibers and thus also reducing wrinkles

Explanation:

Rho protein is a small GTPase, i.e., an enzyme that binds GTP to hydrolyze it to GDP, which is known to mediate the formation of stress fibers and focal adhesion. Rho protein is involved in diverse cellular functions including, among others, adhesion, motility, and division by reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. The bacterial toxin C3 transferase derived from Clostridium botulinum is able to lock Rho in an inactive state. C3 transferase adds an ADP-ribose to Rho, thereby leading to the accumulation of a Rho-guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor (GDI) complex in the cytoplasm. In consequence, C3 transferase functions to decrease contractility by blocking Rho activity, decreasing the number of stress fibers and leading to a reduction in wrinkles.

Diffraction is defined as the interference or bending of waves around the corners of an obstacle or through an aperture into the region of geometrical shadow of the obstacle/aperture.

The most common example of diffraction occurs with water waves which bend around a fixed object. Light bends similarly around the edge of an object. The animation shows wave fronts passing through two small openings.

Diffraction results from the interference of an infinite number of waves emitted by a continuous distribution of source points. According to Huygens' principle every point on a wave front of light can be considered to be a secondary source of spherical wavelets.

Briefly explain the neurophysiological basis (i.e. neuronal/axonal activity, synaptic behaviour) of how the monkey grip procedure
performed about the arms is able to cause a greater stretch reflex response in the leg for the same amount of sensory input when compare to a response without the monkey grip procedure.

Answers

The monkey grip procedure involves squeezing an object with one hand while the other arm is passively stretched that causes an increase in the stretch reflex response in the leg muscles of the same side that is being stretched.

What are the neurophysiological basis of the monkey grip procedure?

The neurophysiological basis involves the activation of descending pathways from the brain modulating the stretch reflex response. When the grip is initiated, activation of motor areas in the brain increases that send signals down to the spinal cord.

These signals inhibit the interneurons activity that causes stretch reflex response causing a greater response in the leg muscles when they are stretched. The stretch reflex involves the activation of muscle spindles in the spinal chord that inhibit or excite the motor neurons that control the muscle.

The monkey grip procedure increases the excitability of the motor neurons controlling the stretched leg muscles that results in a greater stretch reflex response leading to a more forceful contraction of the leg muscles.

Therefore, the monkey grip procedure involves the complex interactions between descending motor pathways from the brain in the spinal cord that underlie the stretch reflex response.

A.) Camouflage: This is a survival adaptation by which an animal blends in and is hidden in its surroundings.

B.) Mimicry: This is an organism exhibiting characteristics similar to one known to be dangerous.

C.) Tropism: This is the growth or movement of an organism ( usually plant) in response to a stimulus.

D.) Venom: This is a poison secreted by animals for either defensive or offensive purposes.

E.) Mutualism: This is the interaction of two organisms where both benefits.

F.) Commensalism: This is the interaction of two organisms where one is helped and the other is neither helped nor harmed.

Explanation:

In the study of organisms and it's environment, they are able to adapt through genetic and behavioural mechanisms. Adaptation of defined as the ability of organisms to become fitted to its environment by modifying or changing its features. These features may be structural or behavioural.

STRUCTURAL ADAPTATION: Almost every part of the body of a living organism is structurally adapted to its mode of life. They are structurally adapted for the following specific functions:

--> Escape and defence: many animals use CAMOUFLAGE to remain unnoticed by potential predators. While some others are capable of producing poisonous VENOMS which may become offensive to the predators. Also many harmless organisms may possess structural behaviours that may MIMIC dangerous organisms thereby keeping their predators at arms length.

--> obtaining food: organisms needs to possess some structural features that will enable them obtain food in their environment. This usually leads to forming various feeding relationship ( which may be MUTUALISTIC or COMMENSALISM) with one another to be able to obtain food for survival.

BEHAVIOURAL ADAPTATION: Behaviour is everything an organism does in response to changes in its environment. Plants do exhibit behavioural adaptations and a typical example is the phototrophic movement of plant shoots which is a type of TROPISM.
