Explain (using the correct terminology and drawing an image) what happens to the cells in the following environments: a. A human blood cell (0.9% salt) is placed in a salt water tank (27.5% salt). b. A bacterial cell with 35% organic material in their cytoplasm is living in a tank filled with 35% sulfur.

In 2005, researcher Woo-suk Hwang reported that he had made immortal stem cells from human patients. His research was hailed as a breakthrough for people affected by degenerative diseases, because stem cells may be used to repair a persons own damaged tissues. Hwang published his results in a peer-reviewed journal. In 2006, the journal retracted his paper after other scientists discovered that Hwangs group had faked their data. Does the incident show that results of scientific studies cannot be trusted? Or does it confirm the usefulness of a scientific approach, because other scientists discovered and exposed the fraud?
