- Which of the following best describes a hyperosmotic solution? A. a solution with a higher concentration of solutes as compared to the other side of the membrane B. a solution with a lower concentration of solute as compared to the other side of the membrane C. a solution with equal solute concentration as compared to the other side of the membrane D. none of the aboveIncreasing the concentration of solutes increases osmotic potential, hence water potential decreases. A. Agree, because presence of solutes increses osmotic pressure and thus osmotic potential. C. Agree, because they just represent the same values. D. Disagree, because it is the decrease in water pressure that decreases osmotic potential. B. Disagree, because presence of solutes increases osmotic pressure which decreases osmotic potential.A) Based on the drawings above, which molecules were able to diffuse through the 150 MWCO membrane? B) Which molecules(s) were not able to diffuse? Why not? C) Which side of the chamber had the greater osmolarity/osmotic pressure and how could you tell?
- Imagine that you have two solutions of glucose in water. One solution consists of 1 g of glucose in 100 mL of water. The other consists of 10 g of glucose in 100 mL. Which solution has a more negative osmotic potential?Part 1: If a gated channel (not a pump) is specific for potassium ions and based on what you know about concentration gradients, when will the potassium ions move through the channel? a) Is gated channel transport using energy (ATP)? Part 2: Why does the sodium - potassium pump need to use energy (ATP)? a) Define active transport in your own words.Which of the following is incorrect about membrane transport systems? a. Glucose transport in red blood cells is a uniport system b. The Na+/K+ ATPase is an antiport system c. The H+/K+ ATPase is an active transport system d. The chloride-bicarbonate exchanger in erythrocytes is a uniport system
- Which of the following is the most accurate definition of concentration gradient? A. Difference in the number of molecules that cross a cell membrane B. Different types of solute molecules found inside and outside a cell C. Different in the amount of a molecule inside and outside a cell D. Difference in the number of molecules on one side of a cell membraneInformation: 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…A fraternity hazing practice involves pressuring freshmen to drink large quantities of pure water in a very short time period. Explain in a few sentences why this is dangerous, given what you know about osmotic pressure and cells.
- a) The process by which salmon maintain an internal balance is called osmoregulation. Describe how salmon achieve osmoregulation as they migrate between fresh and saltwater environments. b) Describe what happens to salmon in fresh water. What direction do solutes tend to move via diffusion? What direction does water tend to move via osmosis?The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane is called? A. Active transport B. Facilitated diffusion C. Osmosis D. Cell membraneThe movement of water is called osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water, and it too moves to reach equilibrium. The relationship between solute concentration and water are opposite. An area with high concentration of solute has less water "concentration", and an area of low solute concentration has a higher water "concentration". Select the options that describe the movement of water if there is a gradient across a membrane. Hint: There are two correct answers. One with the solute perspective and one with a water perspective. Select all that apply: Water moves from an area of high solute concentration to an area of low solute concentration. Water moves from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. Water moves from an area of high water "concentration" to an area of low water "concentration". Water moves from an area of low water "concentration" to an area of high water "concentration".
