Discussion Board Reading linked here: osmosis
Please read the Module Two Discussion Board Reading linked here: osmosis.pdf预览文档.
As you read, think about the questions within the case study and then post here on some of the following questions. Note** each person doesn’t not have to answer every question but you should each be writing at least a paragraph per post. Remember to post twice before the due date (once as your own post and once as a response). Questions to thinks about for discussion:
Part 1:
What sort of environment (hypotonic, hypertonic, isotonic) did the extra fertilizer create around the roots of the corn?
Keeping in mind your answer to the previous question, what do you believe caused the corn plants to wilt and eventually die?
If Michael’s mistake had been caught earlier, is there anything that could have been done to prevent the corn from dying?
Briefly explain why plants generally thrive when watered with 100% water?
Part 2:
What happed to the patient’s blood cells as a result of the distilled water? Why?
Considering the function of red blood cells, why did the patient’s oxygen levels fall?
After Tom made his error, is there anything that could have been done to save the patient’s life?
