Which statement best describes what would happen to a sample of red blood cells if they were placed in a hypotonic solution? a. nothing would happen, your cell is in homeostasis, so functions would continue as normal. b. the cells would swell and possibly burst (lyse) because a build up of sugar and oxygen inside the cell would occur. more and more sugar and oxygen would be added to the cell until it pops. c. the cells would swell and possibly burst (lyse) because there is more water than solutes in the hypotonic solution compared to the cell, so the water would move in to the cell to reach equilibrium. d. the cells would shrivel up because there is more water than solutes in the cells, so the water would leave the cell to create equilibrium.

Researchers determine that the biodiversity in a woodland region is declining. they identify two major threats to the region's biodiversity, a method to address each threat, and the expected outcome of each method. this information is shown in the table. threat method number of species that benefit number of years to see benefit habitat fragmentation reforestation 450 8 introduced prey species biological augmentation 150 2 which statement is an accurate explanation of the information in the table? a. biological augmentation would benefit only a few species because it is typically not very effective. b. biological augmentation would take less time to be effective because it targets the majority of prey species. c. reforestation would take the longest time to be effective because trees take several years to grow. d. reforestation would not benefit many species because most forest species live on the ground.
