Why are cutin stomata and guard cells absent in elodea?
Cutin, stomata and guard cells are used for water loss prevention. These are not needed because Elodea is a water plant.
What is a measure of a solutions ability to change the volume of cells by altering their water content?
tonicity
What type of organism is an elodea?
Elodea cells are plant cells which are mainly found in aquatic plants which are commonly known as water weeds. They have a cell membrane, mitochondria, nucleus, ribosome and so much more.
What happened to the elodea cells when they were exposed to distilled water?
The cells of the elodea leaf becomes turgid... Remember that the distilled water is hypotonic to the cell and water will move in to the cell walls creating turgidity....Just like when you go to grocery store, the produce are always sprinkled with water...This is best for plants....
Effects of tonicity on hemolysis of red blood cells?
A hypertonic solution will cause the cell to shrink as water leaves the intracellular fluid due to osmosis. A hypotonic solution will lead to water crossing into the cell membrane, causing it to swell, leading to hemolysis.
Why do you use saline water when preparing a plate with blood agar?
TONICITY
Why are cutin stomata and guard cells absent in elodea?
Cutin, stomata and guard cells are used for water loss prevention. These are not needed because Elodea is a water plant.
Is a measure of a solution's ability to change the volume of cells by altering their water content?
tonicity
What is the measure of a solutions ability to change the volume of cells by altering their water content?
tonicity
What is a measure of a solutions ability to change the volume of cells by altering their water content?
tonicity
Do elodea cells have a central vacuole?
Yes, it is filled with water.
Why do red blood cells that do not contain spectrin burst more quicly when put in distilled water?
Water passively moves from an area of high water concentration (the dilute water) to low water conc. (in cell) (i.e. down the water potential). This causes the cell to swell up and its contents to dilute. It eventually stops swelling when the water potential reaches zero i.e. when the tonicity of the environment = the tonicity inside the cell. If its membrane can't cope with the swelling it may eventually burst.
What is the material parasite lives in human blood relative to the tonicity of the blood?
Isotonic.. No water is gonna move in or out
What happens to the cells of an elodea leaf when mounted on 10 percent salt solution?
the elodea cells swell and the cell becimes fat and dies
Does elodea cell have chloroplast?
Yes, all cells do, to contain and protect anything inside.
The tonicity of the tissue surrounding the loop of Henle is vital to the maintenance of blood volume because it?
moves water from the urine back into the blood
