Summary Introduction
To sketch: A map that contains the terms associated with solutions.
Introduction: Solution is formed by dissolving a small concentration of solute in a large concentration of solvent. The solution is a homogenous mixture. It means that the solute that is dissolved in the solvent is not easily distinguishable. Some common examples of solution are salt water and sugar dissolved in water.

- Q: plasma membrane is described as" protein iceberg insea of lipids".why?arrow_forwardThe distribution of water is determined by solute concentrations. A hypertonic solution would cause a body cell to shrink in size. Both statements are true. Both statements are false. The first statement is true and the second statement is false. The first statement is false and the second statement is true. Spaced practice question: Consider a membrane protein and its chemistry. Which of the following would describe a channel protein? It is an inorganic compound. It is an example of a globular (functional) protein. It is stable when exposed to an acidic environment. It is an example of a fibrous (structural) protein.arrow_forwardQuantitative – diffusion time: Consider a spherical, single-celled organism which needs oxygen tosurvive. a. Assume oxygen needs to diffuse from the outside of the cell to its center. Write an equation thatgives the diffusion time in terms of the cell radius. b. The cell has a 4 micron (m) diameter, and diffusion coefficient of oxygen is 1.8 x 10-5 cm2/s inwater (assume diffusion is the same through the cell membrane). How long does it take for oxygento diffuse to the center of the cell? c. Cells typically need key molecules such as oxygen to survive. Diffusion times of oxygen can limithow big cells can become. If the cell gets too large for oxygen to reach its center, the cell coulddie. Calculate the size of a cell at which oxygen diffusion time becomes too slow and so limits theability of the cell to get that big. Explain your assumptions. How does this compare to typical cellsizes?arrow_forward
- DO NOT COPY THE ANSWER FROM THE SAME QUESTION. 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.arrow_forwardIn the Nernst equation [V = 62 log10 (Co/ Ci)], the term Ci represents: the extracellular concentration of potassium the extracellular concentration of sodium the membrane potential (in millivolts) the intracellular concentration of calcium the intracellular concentration of potassium Which of the following ions must be kept to very low concentrations within the cell cytoplasm in order to allow for enough substrate molecules to synthesize nucleotides and nucleic acids?

The concentration of ions inside and outside the cell are given below. Sodium and potassium are the only permeant ions, and the membrane contains proteins that pump in 3 sodium ions for every 2 potassium ions pumped out. [Na*] = ?

(b) Suppose the membrane conductance to sodium is 5% that to potassium, find the resting membrane potential via circuit analysis. (c) What would the resting potential be if the membrane were instead permeable only to chloride ions? (d) Suppose the cell was suddenly placed in distilled water, what would happen to it? And, how much external pressure (positive or negative) would be needed to prevent this from happening?arrow_forward
