Information: Osmotic pressure is the pressure that a solvent exerts against a semipermeable membrane, such as a cell membrane. The higher the solute concentration, the lower the osmotic pressure. Red blood cells have an osmotic pressure equal to that of a 0.90% (m/v) solution of sodium chloride and 5.0% (m/v) solution of dextrose. A solution that has a higher concentration that this is called hypertonic; one with a lower concentration is called hypotonic. Osmotic pressure is an important factor affecting cells. Osmoregulation is the homeostasis mechanism of an organism to reach balance in osmotic pressure.Hypertonicity is the presence of a solution that causes cells to shrink.Hypotonicity is the presence of a solution that causes cells to swell.Isotonicity is the presence of a solution that produces no change in cell volume.When a biological cell is in a hypotonic environment, the cell interior accumulates water, water flows across the cell membrane into the cell, causing it to…
If distilled water (no ions or salt) is added to red blood cells in the laboratory, the red blood cells will ___________, because distilled water is a hypotonic solution. This is due to ________________. Group of answer choices: shrink; diffusion have no change; being at equilibrium burst; osmosis burst; diffusion shrink; osmosis
Many old time folk remedies made use of the priciples of diffusion and osmosis. Suppose you had a sliver of wood or another small foreign object embedded under your skin. It is slightly swollen and hurts. Your grandma or older neighbor tells you to soak the affected part in salt water. Using your knowledge of diffusion/osmosis, how do you think this would affect the injury? Will it help you get the sliver out?
Which of the following factors would tend to increase membrane fluidity? A greater proportion of unsaturated phospholipids A relatively high protein content in the membrane A greater proportion of saturated phospholipids A lower temperature
A phospholipid bilayer separates two chambers. The chambers both contain the same volume of water. The left chamber contains 150 mM of an unknown solute A. Solute B is dissolved in the right chamber also at a concentration of 150 mM. Therefore, the initial osmolarity is the same (isotonic) between the two chambers. However, after a short time, the volume increases substantially in the right chamber. What is the most likely ranking of permeability for the molecules to cause this change? (greater permeability means that the molecule moves first across the membrane)
In osmosis, water moves from an area of low solute concentration (high water concentration) to an area of high solute concentration (low water concentration). So, it's the movement of water that helps balance the concentration of solutes on both sides of a semipermeable membrane. My question is when water move from high concentration to low concentration ,it's the movement of water making it balance. So why does it says in definition low solutue concentration going to that high solutue concentration, isn't it make the solute like ion and other molecules going to the higher side and not making it balance. High concentration of water to low concentration water movement is make sense to me But low solute cocentration to high solute concentration part does not make sense at all Please explain how does low concerned ntration solute going to high concentration of solute making balance?
what do osmosis,diffusion,filtration and the movemenet of ions away from like charge all have in common ? in what way do the differ ?
Would water molecules move faster when there is a high concentartion gradient or low concentartion gradient? I think basically this question is asking if water molecules will move faster using passive transport or active transport? since it involves water molecules wouldn't it be passive transport since osmosis is a type of passive transport? I'm confused
The process you observed of the egg becoming smaller or larger in the different solutions was due to osmosis. Which of the following is true about osmosis? Select one or more: a. Osmosis is a form of active transport, in which water moves from a solution of low solute concentration to a solution of higher solute concentration b. Osmosis is a form of passive transport, in which water moves only when the concentration of solutes is equal in each solution c. Osmosis is a form of passive transport, in which water moves from a solution of low solute concentration to a solution of higher solute concentration d. Osmosis is a form of active transport, in which water moves from a solution of high solute concentration to a solution of lower solute concentration e. Osmosis is a form of passive transport, in which water moves from a solution of high solute concentration to a solution of lower solute concentration
