Plasmolysis is experienced. This is shrinkage or contraction of the protoplasm away from the wall of a living plant or bacterial cell, caused by loss of water through osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water from area of high concentration to area of low concentratio

Which organelles breaks down old blood cells and other worn out organelles in the cell?
A Lysosome will break down the blood cells since it is known for having hydrolytic digestive enzymes that digest contents and enter cytoplasm.
Which functional change of the red blood cells is seen in sickle red blood cells?
Sickle cells have an abnormality in the oxygen-carrying protein hemoglobin. Functionally, sickle cells are more rigid than normal red-blood cells. This can result in them getting "stuck" in capillaries because they don't deform as well as normal red-blood cells to allow them to flow through the capillaries. The sickle cells also break down faster than normal red-blood cells - due to their decreased elasticity they are more prone to "break" when trying to deform to flow through the blood vessels and capliaries, leading to anemia.
How do cells get the proteins they need from foods?
enzymes breaks down food proteins into smaller molecules that can be carried by blood
What condition causes cells to break down fat molecules?
limiting calorie intake and increasing energy needs
What is the layer of white blood cells and platelets between the plasma and red blood cells in spun down blood?
buffy coat
What blood cells fight germs and break down dead cells?
white blood cells
What cell fight germs and break down dead cells?
white blood cells
What cells use lysosomes to break down food and old cells parts?
Lysosomes are organelles found in animal cells that serve to break down food and also recycle other cell parts. They are not present in blood cells.
Functions of the lysosome?

Why do we break down food?
We break down food so we get things like water and nutriants into our blood!
What has a hemolytic funcion?
Hemolytic is when red blood cells are broken down inside the body. The spleen is generally an organ that does this in the human body. Its function is to break down the red blood cells and making hemoglobin.
What happens when the blood reaches tissues or cells that do not have enough oxygen?
The oxyhaemoglobin will break down and oxygen will release. :)
How does the skeleton function in cell production?
It is a major contributor of white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets. It also has cells in the bone itself that make and break down bone called osteoblasts and osteoclasts.
How are white cells functioned?
White blood cells destroy bacteria and viruses found in your body by releasing enzymes and proteins to break down the foreign cells then consuming it.
