If an animal cell shrinks, it was probably placed in a _____.hypotonic solution
hypertonic solution
isotonic solution

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: The correct answer for the blank is- hypertonic solution.

A hypertonic solution is the one that contains higher solute concentration as compared to solvent. When a cell is placed in hypertonic solution, it will loose water through osmosis ( as water always moves from an area of low solute concentration to an area where solute concentration is comparatively higher).

Thus, animal cell will shrink ( due to loss of water) when placed in a hypertonic solution.

Answer 2

Answer: I would say B. Hypertonic solution because it causes the water to leave the cell by the osmosis.

Coral bleaching occurs when a colony of polyps are under stress. Please select the best answer from the choices provided T F

Answers

Coral bleaching occurring when a colony of polyps are under stress is True.

What is Coral bleaching?

This is a condition in which corals lose their vibrant colors and turn white when they are stressed.

The stressors which affects corals include changes in the following:

Temperature

Light etc.

Read more about Coral bleaching here brainly.com/question/22199748

The given statement is True.

Coral bleaching is a stressed condition in which is caused by the warmer temperatures.

The algae gets expelled from the corals when there is a high temperature. Earlier the algae used to live in the tissues of the corals which made the corals colorful but as soon as the algae leaves the corals, it turns completely white.

This phenomenon is known as coral bleaching.

A(n) _________ scan uses radioactive markers in the blood to monitor blood flow and metabolic activity via x-ray.

Answers

Answer;

-PET scan

A PET scan uses radioactive markers in the blood to monitor blood flow and metabolic activity via x-ray

Explanation;

-A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that helps reveal how the tissues and organs are functioning. A PET scan uses a radioactive drug (tracer) to show this activity. This scan can sometimes detect disease before it shows up on other imaging tests.

-A PET scan is used to diagnose certain health conditions, to plan treatment, to find out how an existing condition is developing, and to see how effective a treatment is.

-In a PET scan, a machine detects radiation that is emitted by a radiotracer. A radiotracer consists of radioactive material that is tagged to a natural chemical, such as glucose.

That would be a pet scan.

Which of the following is a negative effect of algal blooms on the environment?a. transport of carbon to the bottom of the ocean
b. production of oxygen
c. consumption of water’s oxygen
d. large source of energy

Answers

c. consumption of waters' oxygen Although algae produces oxygen during photosynthesis, in an algae bloom the algae is growing at a rapid rate which causes the algae to use more oxygen then it actually produces. When algae is growing rapidly it needs to use oxygen in order to break down glucose into energy through a process called cellular respiration. Cellular respiration requires large amounts of oxygen, so the faster the algae is growing the faster it uses oxygen draining it from the waters the algae lives in and thereby depleting the aquatic environment of oxygen.

c would be the answer just took the test

A ___ is an instrument that can detect and upcoming tornado.
