Osmoregulation is the active regulation of the osmotic pressure of an organism’s body fluids. The importance is that it maintains the fluid balance and the concentration of electrolytes (salts in solution) that prevent the body fluids from becoming too diluted or concentrated. Question: What would accurately describes the optimal tonicity for typical animal and plant cells?

There are two types of cells: prokaryotic and eukaryotic. Cells fall into one of two broad categories: prokaryotic and eukaryotic. The single-celled organisms of the domains Bacteria and Archaea are classified as prokaryotes (pro = before; karyon– = nucleus). Animal cells, plant cells, fungi, and protists are eukaryotes (eu = true). Question: If you looked into a microscope, which structure would you find in both Bacteria and a sunflower?

Refer to Figure 4 to answer the following questions.The solutions in the arms of a U-tube are separated at the bottom of the tube by a selectively permeable membrane. The membrane is permeable to sodium chloride but not to glucose. Side A is filled with a solution of 0.4 M glucose and 0.5 M sodium chloride (NaCl), and side B is filled with a solution containing 0.8 M glucose and 0.4 M sodium chloride. Initially, the volume in both arms is the same.Figure 4At the end of the experiment (7 days later), what would be the expected results

Use the diagram of the U-tube in Figure 2 to answer the questions that follow.The solutions in the two arms of this U-tube are separated by a membrane that is permeable to water and glucose but not to sucrose. Side B is half filled with 1 M sucrose and 2 M glucose. Side A is half filled with a solution of 2 M sucrose and 1 M glucose. Initially, the liquid levels on both sides are equal. Figure 2A person was in a serious car accident. As medical practitioners attempted to replenish body fluids (mainly due to blood lost), distilled water equal to the volume of the blood that was lost, goes through intravenously (IV). Question: What results would be expected at the cellular level?
