concentration of alcohol because there is a lower concentration of water outside the cell. The water would diffuse because water diffuses from areas of high concentration to an area of low concentration until it become an equilibrium (also known as an isotonic state). Water is moving outside of the cell and the cell is decreasing in mass which means the cell is dehydrated. All of the other groups claims said that the higher the percentage of alcohol, the less mass the cell will have. These…
This data was found by observing the x-axis intersection of the lines in each graph to approximate the concentration value inside each cell when there is no change in mass, or when the solution is isotonic to the cell. The water potentials are different because the two cells do not consist of the same amount of solute. The concentration of the white potato cell was approximately .23 M of sucrose, while the sweet potato was .59 M of sucrose. While…
it need protein channels. Osmosis is a type of diffusion, it is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane. Like diffusion there are no ATP but does need channels. There are a few terms to know when evaluating the levels of the solutes. Isotonic is when the levels are equal compared to the reference. Hypertonic is when the solutes are more than the reference. Hypotonic is less than the solutes from the reference. Another type of movement is facilitated it is when it goes high to low…
A detailed patient history is taken which includes introductory information, chief complaints past history, current health status, family/social history, psychosocial history ((Frowen and Neale, 2010).Gathering a full medical history is pivotal as certain medication can compromise and impair the immune system. (SMAE,2016) all medication, prescribed and over the counter medicine. Vitamins, allergies such as hay fever, eczema, asthma, or latex. normal daily activities (Frowen and Neale, 2010).past…
our blood every second, providing an equal amount of water entering and exiting the cell. The diffusion of blood also helps in distributing nutrients throughout the body. (Molecular Cellular Biology, 2000) These cells undergo diffusion through an isotonic solution evenly distributing essential nutrients throughout the body. If these red blood cells are placed in a lower solution or a higher solution than what they are used to, then potential health risk can develop. (Molecular Cellular Biology,…
low concentration gradient. There are 3 ways for passive transport which are osmosis, diffusion, and facilitated diffusion. Osmosis is when water moves a selectivity permeable membrane. There are three types of solution of osmosis. One of them is isotonic solution where water crosses the membrane at the same rate. Hypertonic is where it loses water to the surroundings. Hypotonic is where water will enter the cell quicker than it leaves. Another type is facilitated diffusion which does not allow…
Hypotonic: more within, the water will go according to osmosis. Isotonic: same amount on both sides, equilibrium. -When the egg was placed into corn syrup it was hypotonic and shriveled up and when it was in the water it was hypertonic and the water moved into the egg. Cell Membrane Research: University of Michigan…
3.1 1. The improvements in the microscope help scientists see the cells better and distinguish the different organelles inside the cell. 2. Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and most internal structures that eukaryotic cells. 3. This method builds on the work of early scientists by changing the soup broth with bacteria in it to a preserved petri dish. 4. Both cells and atoms are basic building blocks. 5. This poison would not kill bacteria because bacteria do not have a nucleus. 3.2 1.…
purpose of this experiment was to obtain a better understanding of how cell transport works and why it is important, and after doing this experiment, students should understand and be able to explain the differences between hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solutions. The experiment aims to show how the permeability of a membrane affects the diffusion of different types of molecules, and what molecules diffuse first, fastest, and the reason. Among the experiments, four different molecules were…
The purpose of Activity 1 of this lab is to understand how cell transportation works, The purpose of the second part is to explore semipermeable membranes. The purpose of Activity 3 is to explore how the size of a cell affects cell transportation. Background All cells are surrounded by a barrier called the cell membrane. It regulates what enters and leaves the cell, and also protects and supports the cell. Cell membranes are semipermeable, meaning it doesn’t allow all molecules to pass through…
