Explain the following practices based on what you learned about osmosis. make sure that your explanation are clear and concise
Consider a solute having a permeability coefficient of 10-6 m s-1 for the plasma membrane of a cylindrical Chara cell that is 100 mm long and 1 mm in diameter. Assume that its concentration remains essentially uniform within the cell. Untitled Title A. How much time would it take for 90% of the solute to diffuse out into a large external solution initially devoid of that substance?* B. How much time would it take if diffusion occurred only at the two ends of the cell?* C. How would the times calculated in A and B change for 99% of the solute to diffuse out? D. How would the times change if Pj were 10-8 m s-1?*
a. Define diffusion. Is diffusion a passive or an active process? Explain how solute moves in this way. b. Use your knowledge of diffusion to explain what happened over time when you observed a crystal of methylene blue dropped into a beaker of water. Be sure to use equilibrium in your explanation. c. Explain your observations over time after a drop of methylene blue and a drop of potassium permanganate were placed in the agar. What factors affect the rate of diffusion? d. What are tissues? Name the four major types of tissues in the human body. e. Name the three primary germ layers. Name the primary germ layers from which epithelial tissues and connective tissues develop. f. List general characteristics that all epithelial tissues have in common. g. Name the functions of epithelial tissue. Which type of epithelial tissue is found in areas that need protection? h.

Osmosis is often defined as the flow of water through a semipermeable membrane, from a dilute solution to a more concentrated solution. Video experiment #1 – saturated sucrose/dialysis tubing/water osmosis from U Mich. https://youtu.be/pCupvFGN4bw A saturated solution of sucrose-containing a red dye is separated from water by dialysis material. What happens to the volume of sucrose solution during the experiment? How do you know that the sucrose solution did not flow into the beaker of water? (Give evidence from your observation of the experiment.) Diffusion, Osmosis, Dialysis video: https://youtu.be/tHzkRtzVmUMDialysis, the flow of both solvent and small molecules or ions through a dialyzing membrane, is important clinically in the operation of the artificial kidney machine.
A cell containing 2% sucrose solution is placed in a hypertonic solution. A.) In one statement maximum, explain what a hypertonic solution is in reference to solute concentration. B.) In one statement, predict the direction of osmosis ( movement of water) C.) In one statement, predict the resulting change in the cell's shape.
Differentiate the following: hypotonic solution, isotonic solution and hypertonic solution. Then classify respectively the 3 solutions used in the experiment (experiment is 2 eggs soaked in vinegar for 2 days and 1 day in separate solution per egg, one for water and 1 for super saline solution) What is osmosis? Is an egg considered to be cell? Why?
Discuss why the following affect the rate of diffusion:molecular size, temperature, solution density, and thedistance that must be traveled.
You were introduced to osmosis in Chapter 8 earlier in the course. This week, Chapter 15 continues this discussion by introducing the cell membrane. For additional information, review one or two of the websites listed below. Osmosis: Real-life Applications How Is Osmosis Used in Kidney Dialysis? Guide to Forward Osmosis Applications Choose one way that osmosis and membranes are used in living things, medicine or industry. Describe how osmosis and membranes are used in the real-life application you chose. What are some of the materials necessary? Is an input of energy necessary?
A cell in a hypertonic solution swells because of a net loss of water by osmosis. True False
Tell me the type of transport based on the following diagrams
Choose the best answer When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution,a. solute exits the cell to equalize the concentration on both sides ofthe membrane.b. water exits the cell toward the area of lower solute concentration.c. water exits the cell toward the area of higher soluteconcentration.d. there is no net movement of water or solute.
5. Intravenous solutions must be prepared, to that they are isotonic to red blood cells. A0.9% salt solution is isotonic to red blood cells. Keeping this in mind, explain whatwould happen to a red blood cell placed into a solution of 99.3% water and 0.7% salt.Note to obtain full marks you must care both the intercellular environment to theextracellular environment (solute vs solvent).
