What will happen to a red blood cell (RBC), which has an internal ion content of about 0.9%, if it is placed into a beaker of pure water?

#XL - Q Biochemistry
  1. The cell would shrink because the water in the beaker is hypotonic relative to the cytoplasm of the RBC.

  2. The cell would shrink because the water in the beaker is hypertonic relative to the cytoplasm of the RBC.

  3. The cell would swell because the water in the beaker is hypotonic relative to the cytoplasm of the RBC.

  4. The cell will remain the same size because the solution outside the cell is isotonic.

Following figure regarding to regulatory network in the Arabidopsis shoot meristem stem-cell niche.

A. The transcription factor WUS is synthesized in the cell A and moves via plasmodesmata into cell B, where one of its functions is to induce expression of the CLV3.

B. The transcription factor CLV3 is synthesized in the cell A and moves via plasmodesmata into cell B, where one of its functions is to induce expression of the WUS.

C. Secreted CLV3 protein from cell B binds to the receptor protein kinase on the surface of cell A; there, it activates a signal that represses WUS transcription.

D. Secreted WUS protein from cell B binds to the receptor protein kinase on the surface of cell A; there, it activates a signal that represses CLV3 transcription.
