2.) Lyse, becomes turggid because of inflow of water.
Hypotonic, means less strength. In a hypotonic solution water enters cell because of osmosis and cells begin to swell. And after a point the cell bursts because of turgor pressure exerted by continuous flow of water inside the cell. For example- Blood cells of animals and Plant cells which increases in size because of water inflow.
point During osmosis, water will travel across the membrane from an area of lower higher solute...
21.

Specialized cells like your own lung cells each lack which of the following organelles which are commonly found in an onion. a) cell membrane b)cell wall c)ribosomes d)nucleolus e) none of the above ______ 23. White blood cells engulf and destroy foreign particles by a process known as phagocytosis which is actually a)...
FILL THE BLANK The membranes of fishes that live in extreme cold have a high proportion of _________________ hydrocarbon tails, enabling them to stay fluid.For example, cold-adapted organisms such as winter wheat increase the percentage of _________________ phospholipids in their membranes in the autumn to prevent the membranes from solidifying during winter.There are two major populations of membrane proteins: ___________ and _____________.Integral proteins penetrate the hydrophobic interior of the lipid bilayer, usually completely spanning the membrane as ________________ proteins.________________ proteins...
