Why must organs be preserved in special solution prior to transplant?
because if they were not in the special solutions the germs have the chance to attack them so they will die.and it will not work

There Known as Solutions
How long can organs be preserved?

What is a solute in biology?

Can solution be heterogeneous?
It can be heterogeneous if the two substances in the mixture don't mix together, such as sand and water. No: solutions must be homogeneous. If a mixture is heterogeneous, it is not a solution.
Why must organ be preserved in special solution prior to their transplant?
If it wasn't placed in a solution, germs and very harmful bacteria would attack it and the organ would die.
Why are solutions mistaken for a pure substances?
Unlike a pure substance, a solution has at least two compounds which are the solute and the solvent.
What are the differences between solutions and mixtures?
A *solution* is a mixture of substances that are blended so completely that the mixture looks the same everywhere while a *mixture* is a physical combination of two or more substances that are blended together without forming new substances.
What is the difference between acidic and basic solution working with redox reaction?
An acidic solution contains H+ ions, a basic solution contains OH- ions.
