Humans don't burst in a hypotonic solution because our cells are protected by a selectively permeable cell membrane that allows water to move in and out to maintain osmotic balance. When in a hypotonic solution, water enters the cells, but they have mechanisms to regulate the influx and prevent excessive swelling or bursting.

What do cells tend to do that are placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water?
Cells placed in a hypertonic solution of pure water will experience water leaving the cell due to the higher concentration of solutes outside the cell. This leads to the cell shrinking or shriveling up, a process known as crenation.
What happens to an animal cell when placed in concentrated sugar solution?
When placed in a concentrated sugar solution, an animal cell will undergo the process of osmosis. Water inside the cell will move out to try to balance the concentration of solutes outside the cell, causing the cell to shrink and potentially become dehydrated. This process can lead to cell damage or death if the concentration gradient is too extreme.
How many voluntary muscles do humans have?
Humans have over 600 voluntary muscles in their body. These muscles are under conscious control and are responsible for movements like walking, running, and lifting objects.
Are specific to humans?
Yes, some diseases are specific to humans and cannot be transmitted to other species. Examples include diseases caused by human-specific viruses like HIV and certain genetic disorders that are unique to humans.
Did humans come from monkeys?
Humans did not evolve from modern monkeys. Both humans and modern monkeys share a common ancestor that lived millions of years ago. The theory of evolution suggests that over time, humans and modern monkeys evolved separately from this common ancestor into the distinct species we see today.

Why is an isotonic buffered extraction medium used initially to isolate the chloroplasts?
isotonic: to make sure the cells dont burst due to net flow of water into them that a hypertonic buffer can cause, or shrivel up, which a hypotonic buffer can cause. buffered: to make sure the chloroplasts are kept at their physiological pH, which ensures that the key enzymes, proteins and other components of the cholorplasts retain their functionality.
