ypertonic blood? Drinking alcohol can cause dehydration, which makes the blood hypertonic. Which option best describes the consequences of this hypertonic blood? Hypertonic blood draws water out of the interstitial fluid, which makes the interstitial fluid hypotonic. This, in turn, makes the interstitial fluid lose water to the cells. Hypertonic blood forces water into the interstitial fluid, which makes the interstitial fluid hypotonic. This, in turn, makes the interstitial fluid lose water to the cells. Hypertonic blood draws water out of the interstitial fluid, which makes the interstitial fluid hypertonic. This, in turn, draws water out of the cells. Hypertonic blood will lose water to the interstitial fluid, which makes the interstitial fluid hypertonic. This, in turn, causes water to move into the cells.

Answer:

Hypertonic blood draws water out of the interstitial fluid, which makes the interstitial fluid hypertonic. This, in turn, draws water out of the cells.

Basically an hype tonic blood has high solute potential,( low water potential)  compare with  the surrounding  plasma  and the interstitial fluid. Thus the interstitial fluid is hypotonic to the blood.

Consequently,water with higher potential moves   from the interstitial fluid medium into the blood by osmosis through the capillary endothelial. This raises the water potential of the blood, lowering the solute potential, thus making it hypotonic to the interstitial fluid; which is now hypertonic(lower water potential ,due to loss to the blood by osmosis).

Since the interstitial fluids is now hyper tonic to the surrounding cells, water moves from the hypo tonic surrounding cells through osmosis into the interstitial fluids. The sequence continues until a stable internal environment is achieved,

Suppose a human blood cell containing a 0.9 percent solute concentration were put into a container of 0 percent solute solution
Vladimir [108]

Answer and explanation:

If a human blood cell with a 0.9% solute concentration were to be put into a container of 0% solute solution, the cell would get BIGGER.

<u>The cell contains a </u><u>more concentrated solution</u><u> than the solution in the container</u>. The difference in concentration would produce an <em>osmotic gradient</em> that would cause water from the container to get inside the cell to even the concentrations - this is going to make the cell much bigger because the entering water would bloat the cell.

In this example, the solution in the container is hypotonic in relation to the cell, while the solution inside the cell is hypertonic in relation to the solution in the container. This is why the water will be moving from outside of the cell to the inside of the cell.

Bacteria that lack fimbriae are less likely to ________.
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- adhere to cell surfaces.

Explanation:

The bacterial fimbriae are the cellular appendages which help the bacteria to attach to a substratum. This attachment property of the fimbriae is due to the presence of a protein called adhesins.  

The fimbriae are also known as the attachment pilus of the bacteria which are thinner than a flagellum. The bacteria posses many fimbriae to adhere to the surface like to receptors, another bacteria or any other substratum.

Thus, option- adhere to cell surfaces is the correct answer.

Transport of D- and L- glucose proceeds at the same rate down an electrochemical gradietn by which ofhte following processes?
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Explanation:

Active transport is the movement of molecules or substance from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration across a cell membrane against the concentration gradient.

Active transport requires cellular energy and are of two types:

primary active transport that uses adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and secondary active transport that uses an electrochemical gradient.

Active transport helps in the uptake of glucose in the intestines.

Cotransport or secondary active transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane it uses electrochemical potential difference that is created by pumping ions in or out of the cell.

Cotransport helps in the transport of glucose across the cell membrane.
