You are attempting to rupture cells. You systematically dilute a lysis buffer of ammonium sulfate in water and find that 54 mM is the point at which the cells rupture. You know that the internal osmolarity of the cells is 0.3 osM. Calculate the yield stress of the cell wall/membrane.

Sassa, a biology professor, wanted to demonstrate to her students the applicability of a dialyzing membrane (DM) as a model for the cell membrane by enclosing an aqueous solution in a DM bag and immersing in a beaker containing a different solution. Substances available which are permeable to the DM include 0.02 M NaCl, 0.03 M glucose, and 0.01 M glucose. The only substance available which is completely impermeable to the DM is the 0.01 M lactose. Using the substances given and materials such as a beaker, stirring rod, and string, draw ONLY ONE set-up that can be demonstrated by Ms. Sassa that will satisfy ALL of the following conditions:a. No solute will exhibit a net diffusion out of the cell.b. Glucose will exhibit a net diffusion into the cell.c. NaCl will exhibit a zero net d. No net movement of lactose from the inside to outside of the cell.
Make sure to label properly the substance inside the beaker and inside the DM bag.

Be sure to label the new solutions in each condition, draw the changes (if predicted) in cell shape/volume, and use arrows to show the movement of water relative to the cell. Please start with a red blood cell in an isosmotic solution and show what happens to cell shape and water movement when NaCl is added to the solution, or when water is added.arrow_forwardAssume a cell has an osmolarity of 10 mM.

- Osmosis is often defined as the flow of water through a semipermeable membrane, from a dilute solution to a more concentrated solution. Video experiment #1 – saturated sucrose/dialysis tubing/water osmosis from U Mich. https://youtu.be/pCupvFGN4bw A saturated solution of sucrose-containing a red dye is separated from water by dialysis material. What happens to the volume of sucrose solution during the experiment? How do you know that the sucrose solution did not flow into the beaker of water? (Give evidence from your observation of the experiment.) Diffusion, Osmosis, Dialysis video: https://youtu.be/tHzkRtzVmUMDialysis, the flow of both solvent and small molecules or ions through a dialyzing membrane, is important clinically in the operation of the artificial kidney machine.arrow_forwardhosphate buffered saline (PBS) is a buffer solution commonly used in biological The buffer helps to maintain a constant pH. The osmolality and ion concentrations of the solution usually match those of the human body. You need to prepare a stock solution at pH 7.00 with NaH2PO4 and Na2HPO4 (pKa =7.21). What would be the respective concentration of these substances if you wish to obtain the final phosphate concentration [HPO4 −2] + [H2PO4 −] = 0.3 M? What will be the pH of the solution after adding 0.18 L of 0.2 M NaOH? What is the ratio of HPO4−2 of H2PO4 – is part b, and what is the significance?

The chambers both contain the same volume of water. The left chamber contains 150 mM of an unknown solute A. Solute B is dissolved in the right chamber also at a concentration of 150 mM. Therefore, the initial osmolarity is the same (isotonic) between the two chambers. However, after a short time, the volume increases substantially in the right chamber. What is the most likely ranking of permeability for the molecules to cause this change? (greater permeability means that the molecule moves first across the membrane)arrow_forward“Plasma membrane is described as protein iceberg in sea of lipids”. why ?arrow_forward
