in a hypertonic solution, a bacterial cell will typically
osmolyze
burst
plasmolyze
lyse
question 25 (1 point)
a student has obtained a sample of pond water for study. using the high - pow
he observes several cells with nuclei. he can conclude that the cells are not
protist
fungi
bacteria
algae

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. In a hypertonic solution, water moves out of the bacterial cell due to osmosis. This causes the cell membrane to pull away from the cell wall, a process called plasmolysis. Osmolyze is not a standard term in this context. Bursting and lysing occur when a cell is in a hypotonic solution and takes in too much water.
  2. Bacteria are prokaryotes and do not have a nucleus. Protists, fungi, and algae are eukaryotes which have nuclei. So if cells have nuclei, they are not bacteria.

Answer:

First question: C. plasmolyze
Second question: C. bacteria
