Joseph’s Story Jalisa Cason A&P 1 Unit 2 case study B. Cellular processes and membrane functions that will be affected if Joseph’s heart stopped would be as follows. Oxygen‚ glucose‚ and essential ions that are required for the heart to pump will slow down. Each of his cells will have to work harder and faster which uses up his energy supply. Carbon dioxide levels inside the cells will rise‚ which causes his PH to drop. The mitochondria will run out of oxygen and glucose to make essential ATP

Lab Report Microscopic Study: Investigating Osmosis in Red Blood Cells Lab Report Investigating Osmosis in Red Blood Cells Introduction: The flow of water across a permeable membrane is called osmosis‚ and during this process‚ water moves down its concentration gradient. A solution surrounding a cell is hypertonic if it contains more solute particles than the inside of the cell‚ and the water will move out of the cell into the surrounding hypertonic solution by osmosis. If the solution

Ligand binding assays are an analytical procedure‚ whose method relies on the binding of specific ligand molecules to receptors‚ antibodies or other macromolecules (Hulme et al.‚ 2010). The analysis of radioligand binding assays are based on a simple model‚ called the law of mass action‚ which assumes that binding to the receptors are reversible. The binding to the receptors occurs when the ligand and the receptor collide by diffusion and when the collision has enough energy and the correct orientation

BRIEF INTRODUCTION: Beetroot cells contain a red pigment stored in the cell vacuole in the membrane to prevent leaking out from the cell. In this experiment we used several solvents to calculate which one made the cell release more pigment. RESULTS: A table showing the results of the intensity of the color and the absorbance of the liquids with the different solvents. Solvent Results from colorimeter 0.001 Acid (Hydrochloric) 0.358 Ethanol 0.132 Hot water 0.984 Cold water-distilled

Introduction: The purpose of the laboratory investigation was to observe the diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane. In this lab‚ dialysis tubing was used to represent the semi-permeable cell membrane. Three dialysis tubes were prepared with 5% sucrose solution and were soaked in solutions of different concentrations. The diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane is called osmosis. When water diffuses‚ the water molecules move from a hypotonic environment to a hypertonic environment

against a high to low concentration gradient through the visking tubing which is not osmosis as it is the movement of particles rather than as the molecules were able to move through the semipermeable membrane whereas the sucrose solution particles are too large to diffuse through the semipermeable membrane of the visking tubing so they remain within the tubing. This causes the dye to move from within the tubing and out to the water and stain it with the dye colour while as the water moves into the tubing

Abstract: Osmosis is the transport of water across a selectively permeable membrane from a region of a higher water chemical potential to a region of lower water chemical potential. (Tzahi 2006) To demonstrate osmosis lab‚ artificial cells were made with various sucrose concentrations and were placed into beakers of different sucrose solutions. Overall the results showed that the higher percentage of concentration gradient of sucrose‚ the more the artificial cells absorbed. Introduction: The
