Isotonic

permeable membrane, which leads water to move in and out. Therefore, when the city rains, soil became hypertonic to tree, and tree became hypotonic to soil, moving water from soil into the tree until they have a same concentration of water and become isotonic to each other. Assume that same amount of rain falls in Wisconsin and in my hometown. Then trees on Bascom Hill will absorb more water because trees on Bascom Hill are hypotonic comparing to trees in my hometown and make more growth than…

Synovial joint Angles of the Hip Hailey Rubin and Angie Allen Purpose: To analyze the full range of motion of the hip flexion and extension by measuring the joint angles. Methods: We decided to use the Hudl Technique app to film hip in a squatting motion from fully extended to full flexion of the hip. The Technique app made it possible to pause the video, allowing the ability to measure the angle from the top of the Iliac crest to the knee to the ankle. We choose to record in front of the dark…

and focuses on power development. Eccentric training focuses on the muscle lengthening aspect and less energy to produce work; results in more efficient strength building compared to concentric training. Isokinetic training combines isometric and isotonic contractions through constant muscular movement generated by an exercise machine. The benefits include increases in maximum strength output (Dolezal, Frese, Llewellyn, 2016). Resistance training requires skeletal muscle to forcefully…

Melanotan 1 (melanotan) Melanotan I is a synthetic polypeptide which is an analogue of the natural peptide hormone, Apha-MSH (Alpha-Melanocyte stimulating hormone) which naturally occurs within the human body and plays the role of triggering melanogenesis. Melanogenesis is the process by which peptides lead to pigmentation of the skin, hair and eyes, and leads to the tanning process hence it is very essential in the protection of the skin against the harmful UV (ultra violet) radiation which…

solute concentration (hypertonic) than the cytosol the water diffuses out through the cell membrane. If the solution has a lower solute concentration (hypotonic) then the water enters the cell. No osmosis occurs when the concentrations are equal (isotonic). The cell must balance the water intake and loss to…

When an organism is in an aquatic environment, they are required to maintain their homeostasis from the difference in salt and other particles in solution and in their cell bodies. The salinity and osmolality in an environment triggers a series of regulatory responses in the organism to maintain equilibrium. The equilibrium is essential to its cell’s life and ultimately the life of the organism. The response to maintain such equilibrium is an osmotic regulation, the regulation of the solutes in…

There is a place‒ a place in which my heart lightens at the memory of. This is a place where everything seems too perfect, and where I learned of a concept called acatalepsy: the idea that it is truly impossible to understand anything. This secluded sanctimonious space known as Horse Shoe Lake on a hiking trail in Red River, New Mexico, heralds a feeling of pinning and existentialism for me. In my memory, the first thing my mind and heart are drawn to is that of the tantalizing lake. This lake…

move in or out of the cells according to where the higher solute concentration may be. In a perfect situation the amount of solute inside and outside of the cells would be even and water could move equally across the cell membrane. This is called isotonic, but rarely does this take place. When the amount of solute outside if a cell is extremely high, it is called hypertonic. This results in water from the cell moving towards the solute and out of the cell, causing the cell to wither. However,…

when a solution is dilute, the solutes do not affect the water concentration (level). This process is passive meaning it does not require any energy. 1b. Osmosis: In animal cells, osmosis is needed to keep the cell in normal condition where it is isotonic. To maintain this, water…

Background: The cell membrane surrounds all cells and controls what comes in and what goes out of the cell. It is selectively permeable (it permits certain things to enter and prevents other things from coming in). There is a phospholipid bilayer in which the hydrophobic tails point inward and the hydrophilic heads point outwards. Inside this plasma membrane there is usually an integral protein, cholesterols, a protein channel (for substances that can’t enter through the phospholipid bilayer), a…
