Answer 0

Hypertonic

Question 1

If a cell was placed in a hypotonic solution, what would happen ?

Answer 1

Lysis ->cell burst

Question 2

What does the sodium potassium pump do ?

Answer 5

Microvilli

Question 6

Type of protein filament that determine cell shape and function

Answer 6

Microtubules
