What would happen to an organism if the concentration of dissolved substances did not stay within a narrow range?
Depending on the vunerability of the organism - a human would be able to with stand it longer than a single celled bacterium- the denaturation of proteins (most notably the enzymes) would occur, certain bodily functions of the organism would malfunction (in larger, more complex organisms), could lead to organism death. Also, it depends which concentrations were out of wack. Example: Lack of water in humans leads to lack of proper concentration of hormones in the bloodstream- nasty, nasty side effects. It probably won't kill the human immedietly because other components of the human body would still be working in the meantime.

What would happen to the cells of a freshwater organism if it was placed in saltwater?
The concentration of water molecules outside the cell is lower than the concentration of the water molecules inside the cell. As a result, water moves out of the cell by osmosis. When water moves out, cells shrink. Put another way, the concentration of solute (salt) is higher outside the cell than inside. More water will flow out of the cell than into the cell through the cell membrane.
If thhse tissues were in injured or diseasedwhat do you think will happen to the organism?
If the tissues are injured or diseased, the organism may experience symptoms such as pain, inflammation, reduced function, or loss of sensation depending on the severity and location of the injury. If left untreated, the condition could worsen and lead to further complications or impact the overall health of the organism.
What would happen to an organism?
It depends on the specific organism and the environmental change. Some organisms may adapt, migrate, or go extinct if they cannot survive the change.
What will happen if an organism's food source disappears?
If an organism's food source disappears, it will likely lead to starvation and eventually death for the organism. Without food, the organism will not be able to obtain the necessary energy and nutrients to survive. This can also disrupt the ecosystem if the organism plays a key role in the food chain.
What would happen if you had a cell in the water and molecules were in the cell and some were out the cell what would most likely happen after a period of time?
If the concentration of molecules is higher inside the cell compared to outside, water would move into the cell to dilute the higher concentration of molecules. This may cause the cell to swell or burst. If the concentration of molecules is higher outside the cell, water would move out of the cell causing it to shrink or shrivel. The movement of water is driven by osmosis, which aims to equalize the concentration of molecules inside and outside the cell.
Based on diffusion what will happen to the substances inside and outside of the cell?
Substances will move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration in order to achieve equilibrium. Inside the cell, substances will diffuse out if the concentration outside is higher, and substances will diffuse in if the concentration outside is lower, until equilibrium is reached.
What would happen to an organism if its cell membranes became permeable to substances?
it would die as harmful substances entered the cells. (APEX)
What would happen to an organism if its membranes became permeable to most substances?
it would die as harmful substances entered the cells. (APEX)
In what substances is at least one component dissolved into another component?
A solute is dissolved in a solvent to create a solution. This can happen in various substances such as water, alcohol, or other liquids. Substances like salt in water or sugar in coffee are common examples.

How can carbon dioxide be dissolved in water?
Carbon dioxide can be dissolved in water through a process called diffusion, where the gas molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This can happen naturally in the atmosphere or through human activities like carbonation in beverages.
What would happen to an organism if its cell membranes became permeable to most?
it would die as harmful substances entered the cells. (APEX)
What will happen to the concentration of CO2 in THE WATER if it is heated?
Solubility of CO2 in water decreases with temperature, so as temperature is increased, the concentration of CO2 decreases.
What would happen if a cell containing dissolved solute was place in pure water?
Water would enter the cell by osmosis in order to equalize the solute concentration/water concentration between inside and outside. The cell would tend to rupture.
What would happen to an organism if it's cell membranes became permeable to most substance?
it would die as harmful substances entered the cells. (APEX)
