Dense Denise is an emergency room nurse at Hopeless Hospital. She notices that the hospital is running short on blood, so she decides to dilute the blood with water to make it last longer. Later, Dr. Dingo, the attending physician gets ready to give a patient a transplant. As a precaution, he puts a sample under the microscope, sees this image. He immediately begins angrily barking at Denise. What happened to the blood cells? (SB1d)

a)

The blood cells burst because they were placed in water, a hypotonic solution.

b)

The blood cells burst because they were placed in water, an isotonic solution.

c)

The blood cells burst because they were placed in water, a hypertonic solution.

d)

Denise did not dilute the blood enough, causing the cell walls to collapse onto the blood cells and make them burst.

14.

Which of the following statements accurately describes the difference between the way bacteria cause disease and the way that viruses cause disease?

a)

Both bacteria and viruses use host cells to reproduce, but viruses kill the host cell immediately, while bacteria maintain life within the host cell indefinitely.

b)

Bacteria only cause disease by entering the body through the bloodstream and infecting a host cell, and viruses only cause disease by entering the body through air passages and infecting a hos cell.

c)

Bacteria cause disease by incorporating their DNA into the host's DNA, and viruses cause disease by incorporating their RNA in the host's RNA.

d)

Bacteria are living cells that grow and reproduce in the body and produce toxins or damage tissues they grow in. Viruses use host cells to reproduce, and these host cells usually die when newly produced virus particles are released.
