It is another type of fluid connective tissue. It is characterized by the absence of RBC. Hence, it has a plasma containing only WBC. Some of the plasma proteins found in blood, are absent in the lymph. Lymph flows only inside definite vessels called lymph vessels or lacteals. I..

If a plant cell is placed in a highly concentrated sugar or salt solution (i.e., hypertonic solution), water from the cell sap flows out due to exosmosis through the plasma membrane outside the cell. The loss of water from the cell sap causes contraction or shrinkage of the protopla..

Lymph - It is another type of fluid connective tissue. It is characterized by the absence of RBC. Hence, it has a plasma containing only WBC. Some of the plasma proteins found in blood, are absent in the lymph. Lymph flows only inside definite vessels called lymph vessels or lac..

Introduction - Every cell, whether it is prokaryotic or eukaryotic, is enclosed in a thin covering called cell membrane . It is also called as plasma membrane or plasma lemma . The cell membrane can only be seen through the electron microscope since its thickness is well below t..

This consists of a fluid called plasma, which has red blood corpuscles (RBC), white blood corpuscles (WBC) and blood platelets. Blood circulates throughout the body in blood vessels. The blood transports oxygen, nutrients, hormones to tissues and organ..

At the capillary end of the arteries, the walls are only one-cell thick. The pressure in the arterial capillaries is also quite high. These leads the plasma to leak into the interstitial space. The interstitial space is the space between the cells of the tissu..

Since the bacterial cell is prokaryotic, a true nucleus is absent. The nuclear material is represented by DNA which is not associated with histones. It is identified as a nucleoid or bacterial chromosome . It is a circular ring. It is attached at a point to the plasma membra..

This is caused by deficiency of mineralocorticoids. It is characterised by ion imbalance, which lowers water retention. Therefore, the person has low blood sugar, low Na + concentration and high K + concentration in the plasma. The symptoms include weight loss, weakness, nausea, vomiti..

Osmo regulation is the process which regulates the concentration and osmotic pressure of blood by regulating the water contents of blood plasma. It is an important process as excessive loss of water may cause dehydration whereas excess of water intake may dilute the body fluid..

Question: Why is the golgi apparatus called the secretory organelle of the cell? Answer: This is because it packages material synthesized in the ER and dispatches it to intracellular and (plasma membrane and lysosomes) extracellular targets..
