What would ψw, ψs, and ψp of the cell in figure 36.5a be at equilibrium if it had been placed in a solution with a ψs of −0.5 MPa?
To determine: The
Introduction: Water potential defines the ability of water to move from one are to another through osmosis under the influence of gravity, pressure and capillary action. Water potential constitutes of pressure potential and solute potential.
Explanation of Solution
The solute potential of the solution and the cell before equilibrium is -0.5 MPa and -0.2 MPa respectively. The solution has a higher concentration of solute than the cell and hence, water will leave the cell, causing the cell to plasmolyze. Initially, the turgor pressure of the cell and the solution
Thus, at equilibrium,

- If a plant cell immersed in distilled water has a ΨS of-0.7 MPa and a Ψ of 0 MPa, what is the cell’s ΨP? If youput it in an open beaker of solution that has a Ψ of-0.4 MPa, what would be its ΨP at equilibrium?arrow_forwardDepicted is a rod-shaped bacterium that can be approximated as a cylinder with two spherical caps, r = 0.5 micron. If the difference between the osmolarities inside and outside is 10 mosM, what would be the tension in the bacterial envelope? Is it uniform?

The cell has a(A) ΨP of +0.65 MPa.(B) Ψ of -0.65 MPa.(C) ΨP of +0.35 MPa.(D) ΨP of 0 MPaarrow_forwardThe simple form of |Hoff equation is: II = [B]RT In this equation the [B] is the molar concentration of solute. So: n m [B] = v MV = cg /MA Where c, the mass concentration of the solute is in the total volume of solution and M, is the molar mass of the solute. This equation can be replaced in the previous one to get: RT II = MA In this equation molar mass of given solute can be detemined from the slope of the II vs Cz plot. This equation applies only to solutions that are sufficiently dilute to behave as ideal-dilute solutions. In the case of non-ideal solutions, however, the extended formula is: II = [B]RT{1+ k. [B] + n. [B]² + ...} Biological macromolecules dissolve to produce solutions that are far from ideal, but we can still calculate the osmotic pressure by assuming that the van't Hoff equation is only the first term of a lengthier expression: II [B]RT(1+ b.

- You have two solutions that are isosmotic to each other and to a cell. However, when testing for tonicity, one of these solutions is hypotonic and one is isotonic. Briefly explain how this is possible.arrow_forwardWe have isolated a mixture of 2 protein of the same molecular weight but different isoelectric points. The isoelectric points are 7.5 for Protein A and 9.0 for Protein B. What would be the order of elution from a cation exchange column if a buffer of pH 7 is used? Group of answer choices Both proteins will remain in the column. Both proteins will elute simultaneously Protein B followed by Protein A Protein A followed by Protein Barrow_forwardShown below are cells (colored) that were recently placed into a beaker containing a clear solution For each scenario, indicate whether movement of the molecule into the cell will occur using facilitated diffusion or active transport.
