A wilted flower placed in a vase of water for several hours became stiff and stood erect. When it was placed in a salt solution,

it wilted. From this information what can we say about the cells of the flower? A) the flower cells are hypertonic to fresh water but hypotonic to the salt solution. B) the flower cells are hypotonic to the fresh water and hypertonic to the salt solution.C) the flower cells are hypertonic to both the fresh water and the salt solution.D) the flower cells are isotonic to both the fresh and salt water solutions

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

The flower cells are hypertonic to fresh water but hypotonic to the salt solution.

Flower cell is hypertonic to fresh water, this means that the amount of solute in the solution outside the flower cell is higher than the solute content inside the flower cell.

While when a flower cell is hypotonic, it means that the amount of solute in the solution outside the flower cell is lower than the solute content inside the flower cell.

This is the reason why a flower plant placed in vase of water stood and become erect, while the same flower placed in a salt solution wilted.

Hence, option A is correct

Which of the following pairs of base sequences could form a short stretch of a normal double helix of DNA?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

D) 5'-ATGC-3' with 5'-GCAT-3'

Explanation:

In a double helix DNA, adenine always pairs with thymine and cytosine pairs with guanine. Also, the two strands of a double helix DNA are antiparallel, that is, the 5' end of one strand lies opposite to the 3' end of another strand.

Therefore, a DNA strand with base sequence 5'-ATGC-3' would have a complementary strand 5'-GCAT-3'.

Double stranded DNA: 5'-ATGC-3'                                          

                                      3' TACG 5'

Predict how the sympathetic reflexes controlling blood vessels would respond to a sudden decrease in blood pressure
Goryan [66]
<span>Baroreceptors are special receptors that detect changes in your blood pressure. Important baroreceptors are found in the aorta and the carotid sinus. If the blood pressure within the aorta or carotid sinus increases, the walls of the arteries stretch and stimulate increased activity within the baroreceptors.</span>
