Question

2. when does a cell swell up?
3. define -
a. turgid cell
b.faccid cell
4. what is cell division?
5. differentiate between meiosis and mitosis​

Answer 1

Answer:

2. Cell swells up when the solution is hypotonic

3. a) Turgid cell are those cells when placed in a hypotonic solution, water diffuses into the cell causing the cell to swell.

b) Flaccid cell are those cells when placed in a hypertonic solution, water diffuses out of the cell causing the cell to shrink

Answer 2

Answer:

a cell swells up due to osmosis or during the entry of water

turgid refers to cells or tissues that are swollen from water uptake. Many cell types in many different organisms can become turgid due to water uptake. Some cells will lyse, or split open if they become too turgid.

flaccid plant cell is one in which the plasma membrane is not pressed tightly against the cell wall. This is observed when the plant cell is placed in an isotonic solution wherein the concentration of solutes in the outside is the same as that in the inside of a plant cell

the division of a cell into two daughter cells with the same genetic material.

Mitosis produces 2 daughter cells which are genetically identical to the parent cell. Each daughter cell is diploid (contains the normal number of chromosomes). This is the result of DNA replication and 1 cell division. ... Meiosis is used to produce gametes (sperm and egg cells), the cells of sexual reproduction
