If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution then?
Answer:
If you place an animal or a plant cell in a hypertonic solution, the cell shrinks, because it loses water ( water moves from a higher concentration inside the cell to a lower concentration outside ). ... A single animal cell ( like a red blood cell) placed in a hypotonic solution will fill up with water and then burst.

Some bacteria are aerobic and others are anaerobic. What does this mean?
A.
Some use H2O (water), and others do not.
B.
Some use CO2 (carbon dioxide), and others do not.
C.
Some use air, and others do not.
D.
Some use O2 (oxygen), and others do not.
Answer:
D. Some use O2 (oxygen), and others do not.
Explanation:
Bacteria can either grow aerobically or anaerobically. Because of their ability to respire and ferment organic substances, these types of bacteria (facultative anaerobes), can continue growing in the presence or the absence of oxygen.
Hope this helps! Please Mark BRAINLIEST.
Answer:
They would perform aerobic processes.
Explanation:
When exposed to a lack of oxygen, facultative anaerobes develop metabolic processes with oxygen, like respiration. But in the absence of oxygen, they can develop processes like fermentation. When in oxygen, they prefer the use of it, because that's what makes them facultative, the fact that they're able to work in both circumstances. Otherwise, tolerants are able to survive but not to work properly, in different environments.
pls give brain.. PLS
Suggest why cells need to differentiate
Answer:
The lower the pressure, the lower a liquid's boiling point is. That's why water boils much faster at the top of a mountain than it does at the bottom. In space, there is no pressure. So the boiling point could easily drop to your body temperature.

Explanation: The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves is called electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic waves can transfer energy through matter or across empty space.
A large protein needs to enter a cell to help preform a function explain what process the cell must use to allow the protein to enter and why
Answer:
The protein is too large to simply diffuse across the phospholipid bilayer of the cell, so it uses phagocytosis to diffuse across, where it is contained in a vesicle and pinched into the cell? Credits to yahoo answer. Hope I could help sweets.
Cell membranes acts as a barrier for the large,charged and polar molecules due to their hydrophobic nature.
These molecules are transported with the help of membrane proteins such as carrier proteins across the plasma membrane by a process known as facilitated diffusion. These membrane proteins diffuse larger molecules across the cell membrane that cannot be transported by simple diffusion.

put the life cycle of an erythrocyte in order, beginning with their formation in red bone marrow.
Answer:Correct: 1
Erythrocytes form in red bone marrow.
Correct: 4
Hemoglobin is converted to biliverdin.
Correct: 3
Erythrocytes are phagocytized in the liver and
spleen.
Correct: 2
Erythrocytes circulate for 120 days in the bloodstream.
Explanation:
The life cycle of an erythrocyte (red blood cell) involves several stages. Here's the order of the life cycle, beginning with their formation in red bone marrow:
1. Hematopoietic Stem Cell: Erythrocytes are derived from hematopoietic stem cells in the red bone marrow. These stem cells have the potential to differentiate into various types of blood cells, including erythrocytes.
2. Proerythroblast: Hematopoietic stem cells differentiate into proerythroblasts, which are the earliest precursor cells committed to becoming erythrocytes. Proerythroblasts undergo several divisions to produce cells of the erythroblast series.
3. Erythroblast Stages: Erythroblasts progress through several stages of development, including basophilic erythroblast, polychromatic erythroblast, and orthochromatic erythroblast.
4. Reticulocyte Formation: The orthochromatic erythroblast matures into a reticulocyte. Reticulocytes still contain some organelles but lack a nucleus. They are released into the bloodstream and enter circulation.
5. Circulation: Reticulocytes circulate in the bloodstream for about 1-2 days. During this time, they lose their remaining organelles, and their reticulated appearance disappears as they become mature erythrocytes.
6. Mature Erythrocyte: Reticulocytes mature into mature erythrocytes, which are specialized cells optimized for oxygen transport. Erythrocytes have a biconcave shape, lack a nucleus, and are packed with hemoglobin.
7. Functional Period: Mature erythrocytes have a lifespan of about 120 days in circulation. During this time, they transport oxygen from the lungs to body tissues and carry carbon dioxide from tissues to the lungs for exhalation.
8. Removal: Aging or damaged erythrocytes are recognized by macrophages in the spleen, liver, and bone marrow. These macrophages phagocytose the erythrocytes, breaking them down and recycling their components.

In which type of fault is the hanging wall above the footwall?
normal
reverse
strike-slip
horizontal
Answer:
B. Reverse
Explanation:
Got it right on edgeA hanging wall and footwall are present in every fault that is inclined from vertical. In reverse type of fault is the hanging wall above the footwall. Therefore, option B is correct.
What is footwall ?The higher or overlaying block along the fault plane is referred to as the hanging wall, or headwall, and the block below is referred to as the footwall as rocks slide past one another during faulting. The direction in which the fault plane and Earth's surface collide is known as the fault strike.
The rock above the fault zone in a cross-section view of a fault is referred to as the hanging wall.The foot wall refers to the rock beneath the fault zone.
Consider digging a mine along the fault line to help you distinguish between the two. The footwall is the brick directly beneath your feet, and it is also the one on which you would hang your miner's lantern.
Thus, option B is correct.
