Summary Introduction
To explain:
What would happen if the eggs with and without aquaporins are immersed in a concentrated salt solution.
Introduction:
Aquaporins are water channels through which water diffuses at a faster rate. These are made up of integral membrane protein that facilitates movement of water in cell and regulates the water flow across the cell wall of the cell.

- A clinical microbiologist is studying a microbe that can cause infections and gastrointestinal disease in humans, and which can also survive and reproduce in mice. A dormant cyst form of the microbe infects human hosts through fecal-oral transmission if they come in contact with mouse droppings and don’t wash their hands before eating. The organism grows in long filaments when grown at 20-28 deg C, and forms round/ovoid cells when grown at temperatures above 28 deg C. Sexual reproduction (fusion of haploid gametes) occurs in both humans and mice. A cell wall is present, and cells contain nuclei. This microbe could be which of the following?
