Isotonic

observations we believe that the red blood cells appeared smaller because there was a greater concentration of water inside the cell, rather than outside the cell, so the water must have moved across the membrane to help in making the environment isotonic, and furthermore maintaining homeostasis. There was a greater concentration of water inside the cell because there is a higher concentration of sugar outside of the cell. In other words, we support explanation two. To explain that explanation…

Anatomy Assessment Claim The kidneys are located just below the rib cage and filter blood. “Every day, the two kidneys filter about 120 to 150 quarts of blood to produce about 1 to 2 quarts of urine, composed of wastes and extra fluid.” The three major renal processes are glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption and tubular secretion. Glomerular filtration produces a filtrate that is cell and protein free. This occurs in the renal corpuscle. Next, is tubular secretion. Taking place in the…

of exercises comprise the endurance and strength training. Endurance training is predominantly an aerobic activity which is appropriate for supporting favorable cardiovascular and metabolic effects and processes. It is characterized by repetitive isotonic contractions which occur in the large skeletal muscle groups. Endurance training mainly consists of various activities such as swimming, running, playing, and cycling among others. American…

the concentration is low, and there is high network of water going inside the cell, then it produces the cells to increase the amount of cells breaking or going through hemolysis. According to the researchers, “No change in cell volume occurs in isotonic NaCl, and, by placing blood cells in hypotonic NaCl, incomplete hemolysis occurs. By changing the bathing solution to either distilled water or isosmotic urea, complete hemolysis occurs due to their hypotonic effects.” As a result this…

Assessment of muscle tone and strength. Mr. X a 52year old person with complaints of joints pains and joints instability, he has a history of frequent falls and injuries, and he has been advised for a strength training programme. Enumerate the various assessment methods used to measure the muscle tone and muscle strength of Mr X Topic: assessment of muscle tone and muscle strength of Mr X. The important component of fitness is muscle tone and muscle strength. It is the ability of an…

Molecules A (phospholipids) and C (glycoproteins) both have polar and non-polar parts to them. The charge in H2O forces the polar ends of the phospholipids and glycoproteins to be attracted to it which then creates a non-polar interior where the ends of each molecule that don’t have a charge are attracted to (like the fatty acid tails of the phospholipids). The none polar interior of the membrane creates a barrier which gives it the ability to be selective with what it allows in and out of the…

While a healthy diet gives plenty of electrolytes, those who participate in intense physical activity may need more. There are several kinds of sports drinks that contain electrolytes available, and each serve a different purpose. Isotonic drinks are average sports drinks, as they have electrolytes and a decent boost of carbohydrates. Hypotonic drinks are for low-sweat activities, as they only provide fluids. Hypertonic drinks are high-intensity, with a large amount of fluids and carbohydrates…

Our goal of the dialysis experiment was firstly, to answer the question of why the dialysis cells appeared smaller after adding sugar water and secondly, to prove our hypothesis that water molecules move out of the cell because the concentration of water is greater than inside the cell than it is outside the cell. This experiment was conducted with one control group and one experimental group. The independent variable was the concentration of water, (water and glucose solution). The dependent…

the previous 6 months were randomly assigned to either an 85% Free-Weight Tension, 15% Elastic Tension (BAND) group or a 100% Free-Weight Tension (STAND) group. Participants performed 1RM BP during an initial visit and trained 3 weeks of standard isotonic BP training for neural adaptation and retested for 1RM BP. After retesting, subjects were randomly assigned to either BAND or STAND treatment occurring in the first 3 weeks and then switched the other treatment occurring in the second 3-week…

Within the human body, the natural process of moving soluble molecules across a membrane is referred to as passive transport. For this type of transport chemical energy is not necessary. Two of the main types of passive transport that the human body utilizes are osmosis and diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of a hydrophobic substance across a semi-permeable membrane without the use of cell energy from a gradient area of higher concentration to an area (either inside or outside of the cell)…
