Document Summary

Dna: genetic material (the dna is so long it can go to the moon and back. It fits in the nucleus because it is coiled up and compacted into chromosomes. It uncoils the piece needed to transcribe the dna). The membrane around every cell is called a lipid bilayer. The outside region of the membrane is hydrophilic as it has to interact with water (outside the cell and the inner cell). The inner region of the membrane is hydrophobic, which doesn"t allow water to go in easily. Water is only able to pass through aqua pours, which provides a channel for water to enter the cell. There are many of these around the cell. The differentiation of the blastula is orchestrated by genes and regulated by. All of our cells have the same genetic sequence. If it gets to protein, the gene is turned on.

The channels that allow nutrients and protoplasm to pass between plant cells are called _________________.

What happens when a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution?

Water will enter the plant cell and the plasma membrane will swell and cell lysis will occur

Water will leave the plant cell and the plasma membrane will pull away from the cell and plasmolysis will occur

Water will enter the plant cell and the plasma membrane will swell and push against the cell wall

Water will leave the plant cell and the plant cell will lose turgor pressure, causing the plant to wilt
