Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Cells are regarded as the simplest unit (structural and functional) of life. Cellular membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm are the three major components of a cell. Cellular membrane, which surrounds the entire cell, is composed of phospholipids and proteins. The nucleus is bound by a nuclear membrane, and it possesses the genetic material of the cell. Cytoplasm consists of organelles, cytoskeleton (filaments and tubules), and inclusion bodies.

Students have asked these similar questions
Using the appropriate osmotic terms (hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic) describe what would happen to each organism in the following settings:
a. A bunch of carrots are placed soaked a sink of distilled water.
Submerging of a red blood cell in a hypertonic solution will result in
Lysis of the cell membrane
Bursting of the cell
Plasmolysis of the cell
The cell becoming turgid
The cell becoming flaccid
The distribution of water is determined by solute concentrations. A hypertonic solution would cause a body cell to shrink in size
