Exercise 1: Cell Transport Mechanisms and Permeability: Activity 1: Simulating Dialysis (Simple Diffusion) Lab Report Pre-lab Quiz Results You have not completed the Pre-lab Quiz. 09/20/11 page 1 Experiment Results Predict Question: Predict Question 1: The molecular weight of urea is 60.07. Do you think urea will diffuse through the 20 MWCO membrane? Your answer : c. No‚ not at all. Predict Question 2: Recall that glucose is a monosaccharide‚ albumin is a protein with 607 amino acids‚ and

DEFINITIONS Gametes are mature haploid reproductive cells that unite to form a zygote that develops into a new individual. Gametes are also called sex cells. An egg or ovum is a haploid female reproductive cell or gamete whereas a sperm is a male haploid reproductive cell. A zygote is the initial cell that is formed as a result of the union of a male and a female gamete by means of sexual reproduction. The two haploid cells merge to give rise to a diploid cell which marks the first stage of development.

Review Sheet Exercise 1 Cell Transport Mechanisms and Permeability Activity 1: Simulating Dialysis (Simple Diffusion) • Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion: Two variables that affect the rate of diffusion are size and concentration gradient. The molecular size vs the MWCO size of the membrane can either increase‚ decrease‚ or prevent diffusion. The greater the concentration gradient the greater the diffusion rate due to molecules moving from areas of higher concentration

The cells of the adaptive immune system are special types of leukocytes‚ called lymphocytes. There are two main types of lymphocytes‚ B cells and T cells‚ which are derived from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. T cells are involved in cell-mediated immune response‚ whereas B cells are involved in the humoral immune response. The surface of each lymphatic cell has receptors that enable them to recognize foreign substances. There are two major subtypes of T cells: the helper T cell and

characteristics of a healthy cell and a cancer cell is very different. Healthy cells stop reproducing when there are enough cells‚ however‚ cancer cells continue to reproduce. Due to this continued growth a tumor‚ which is a cluster of cancer cells‚ is formed. Cancer cells do not interact with other cells like the healthy cells. Healthy cells stop growing when they hear signals from the nearby cells‚ in contrast‚ cancer cells do not respond to these signals. When healthy cells get old or damaged they

Biological Membrane Study: HCl‚ NaOH‚ SDS Objective and Hypothesis: The objective of this lab is to determine the effects of SDS‚ HCl‚ and NaOH on red cabbage cell membrane. Prior knowledge can tell us that the red cabbage is a red-purple color due to a pigment called anthocyanin. This is what we will be testing in the experiment. We also know that HCl is a strong acid (very low pH) and that NaOH is a strong base (very high pH). From information learned in this course (lecture/lab) we can assume

The Onion Cell Lab Background: Onion tissue provides excellent cells to study under the microscope. The main cell structures are easy to see when viewed with the microscope at medium power. For example‚ you will observe a large circular nucleus in each cell‚ which contains the genetic material for the cell. In each nucleus‚ are round bodies called nucleoli. The nucleolus is an organelle‚ which synthesizes small bodies called ribosomes. Ribosomes are so small you cannot see them with the light microscope
