    You place a flaccid plant cell (Ψ = -0.7 MPa) into an environment (beaker) of sucrose solution (Ψ = -0.9 MPa). Compare the initial conditions of the flaccid cell and the environment (beaker of sucrose solution) in terms of: A) Water potential (high or low) of the environment B) Solute concentration (high or low) of the environment C) Tonicity (hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic) of the environment D) Water potential (high or low) of the cell E) Solute concentration (high or low) of the cell F) Tonicity (hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic) of the cell G) Predict the direction of water movement (into the cell, out of the cell, or no net movement) H) Predict the change in turgor pressor of the cell (increase turgor pressure or decrease turgor pressure) I) Predict the fate of the cell (plasmolyzed, turgid, or lysed)
  • As an environmental engineer, you will follow the scientific method and start your work by generating a hypothesis first.   Formulate a hypothesis on how bacterial cells use their characteristics to take up hydrocarbons from oil spills. Specify the mode of transport through the cell membrane (active vs. passive/endocytosis vs. exocytosis) and support your claim with scientific reasoning. Describe how these bacterial cells would take up hydrocarbons if: they only possessed a cell membrane and lacked the cell wall. they possessed membrane-bound organelles such as vesicles.   Include in your answer the lipid bilayer, structural components of cell membranes and those of cell walls, and discuss the selective permeability characteristic of membranes.
    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 above
    1) A plant cell with a pressure potential of 5 bars and an osmotic potential of -9 bars is in equilibrium with a surrounding solution that is open to the air. What is the water potential of the surrounding solution? 2) A plant cell, when initially placed in pure water, has an osmotic potential of -4 bars and a pressure potential of +2 bars. a) Which way will water diffuse? b) When will net diffusion stop? c) When equilibrium is reached, what are the cell's osmotic potential and pressure potential values?
