Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 2UTM
Sterile normal saline is used in most surgical procedures as an irrigation solution. During certain surgical procedures, such as those for malignancy, the surgeon may request that sterile water be used for irrigation instead of saline following excision of the cancerous mass.
Why is normal saline usually used in healthy tissues?

- Sterile normal saline is used in most surgical procedures as an irrigation solution. During certain surgical procedures, such as those for malignancy, the surgeon may request that sterile water be used for irrigation instead of saline following excision of the cancerous mass. What reaction will occur between the eukaryotic cells of the body and the water?arrow_forward5. 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).arrow_forwardWhen combining 1ml of lysosome solution with a concentration of 5mg/ml and 1ml of water what is the final concentration of the lysosome solution after adding 8.0 of a biuret reagent to the solution 2.5mg/ml 1mg/ml 0.5mg/ml 5 mg/mlarrow_forward
- Cell membrane and Hyaline membrane disease Cell membrane diseases are life-threatening diseases that are genetic in nature and usually acts against the proteins in our bodies that are the key to ion channels and various receptors within the membrane. Hyaline membrane disease or Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) is one of the cell membrane disease. Is commonly associates with preterm infants. Hyaline membrane disease affects the lungs at the time of birth. It causes respiratory distress. Symptoms of this disease are bluish tint of the skin, rapid od shallow breathing, fast heart rate as in the case of heart rhythm disorder, reduced urine output and flaring sound while breathing. There are some treatments for this disease that to check the color of the skin and breathing pattern of the body, to check the echocardiography for any heart problems, to do the X-ray the lungs to check the formation of glasslike layer, and blood gas tests. this part provide an alternative disease that…arrow_forwardThe culture you are working has a doubling time of 2 hours and a cell density of 3 x 106 cells per mL. For your experiment, you first dilute the culture 100 fold. Assuming that there is no lab phase and that the cells remain in exponential growth the entire time, what is the cell density (cells/mL) after 10 hours?arrow_forward3 cell membrane samples: A, B, and C were fluorescently labeled and subsequently photobleached. The recovery of fluorescence is given on the FRAP curve: (see image attached) Rank the 3 cell membranes in terms of DECREASING fluidity and explain your ranking based on their FRAP curves, most probable appearance, and composition of the membranes. Draw the expected image of the surface of the 3 membranes BEFORE photobleaching and AFTER fluorescence recovery as viewed under a fluorescence microscope.arrow_forward
- In an experiment to investigate membrane integrity, beet root sections were subjected to different chemicals. Membrane damage was estimated by the color intensity of leaked pigment. Five replicates of each treatment were prepared. Complete the following table with the absorbance values. Calculate the mean (average) and the standard Table 1: Absorbance readings of pigment leaked from damaged cells treated with two different chemicals.

The membrane has pores equivalent in size to a spherical molecule with a molecular weight of 100,000, a porosity of 80%, and a tortuosity of 2.5. On the feed side of the membrane, we have a solution containing a protein at a concentration of 8 g L−1 with these properties: a = 3 nm and DAB = 6.0 × 10−7 cm2 s−1. The solution viscosity is 1 cP. The hydrody- namic pressure on the protein side of the membrane is 20 pounds per square inch (psi) higher than on the filtrate side of the membrane. Determine the convective flow rate of the solution across the membrane and the rate at which the protein crosses the membrane. The solution on the feed side of the membrane is being stirred at 900 RPM.arrow_forward
