Chapter 3, Problem 63TQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The mechanismthrough which cells maintain their osmotic balance after the conversion of glycogen into glucose, during stressful conditions.
Introduction:
Osmosis is a spontaneous processduring which the solvent molecules are passed through a semi-permeable membrane. It is known as a semi-permeable membrane because it is present between a solution of high and low concentrations. Pores in the membrane allow only the solvent particle to move through and donot allow the movement of the larger solute particles.
