What would most likely happen to a unicellular organism if it was exposed to a hypotonic solution for an extended period of time?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The answer is that a unicellular organism would swell and burst.

In a hypotonic solution the water concentration of the cell's cytoplasm is lower then that of the hypotonic solution. If unicellular organism is exposed to a hypotonic solution, the water from the solution will enter the organism by the process called osmosis. The aim is to balance water concentration on the inside and outside of the organism. But, that water entering the cytoplasm of the cell will make pressure on the cell membrane. If the excess water cannot be removed from the organism, it will swell and burst.

(4 points) organisms share similar dna sequences, so the process for decoding them is the same. organisms all have the same types of cells, so their organelles all carry out the same functions. organisms self-replicate, and they all carry out the process in the same manner. organisms share a common ancestor, so they also all share core life processes.

Answers

Answer:

Organisms share a common ancestor, so they also share Co life processes.

Most plastics tend to persist in the environment because natural processes do not degrade them effectively. A scientist thinks that a new strain of bacteria can be developed to break apart plastics. To develop this strain of bacteria, the scientist proposes to subject a colony of bacteria to powerful mutagens.

Melissa is studying a Gram-stained slide of curd bacteria. She sees many rod-shaped, violet-colored bacteria. What type of bacteria are they?

Answers

Answer:

By the observation, the rod shape violet-colored bacteria could be a Gram-positive bacillus which is Lactobacillus spp.  in curd.

Explanation:

Gram-stain is a staining method to isolate and study the Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria with the help of the crystal violet dye. Crystal violet dye stains both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in purple stain. After decolorization, Gram-negative bacteria appears to be pink in color, however,Gram-positive bacteria remain purple.

According to bacteria structure, they term as bacillus (rod), strepto (clusters or threads) or Diplo (in pairs).

Thus, according to the observation, the rod shape violet colored bacteria are Gram-positive bacillus which is Lactobacillus spp. in curd.
Rod shaped = bacilli
Purple =Gram positive
The bacteria is Lactobacillus

Before the introduction of the yellow crazy ant to Christmas Island, land crabs ate many plant seedlings on the forest, and the forest floor stayed relatively clear of plants. As the crab population declined, plant seedlings flourished. The forest floor became covered with plants. Which statement best describes what occurred on the forest floor? (Points : 1)Primary succession occurred because the ant was a new species that changed the ecosystem.

Secondary succession occurred because the organisms on the forest floor changed.

Climax vegetation occurred because the seedlings finally had a chance to grow.

Primary succession occurred because more plant life in the ecosystem was healthier.

Answers

I would say Climax Vegetation since the ants pretty much died off the plant had much time to grow
