Discuss the structure of the plasma membrane and explain the process of active and passive transport through the membrane. 2. Explain your observations in detail in terms of concentration gradient‚ diffusion‚ osmosis‚ osmotic pressure‚ passive transport‚ and active transport. Explain what happened to the blood cells at the various levels of concentration. Be sure to refer to the solutions as being hypotonic‚ hypertonic and isotonic. The plasma membranes are made up of proteins that form pores

Osmosis Rates in Artificial Cells Daniel George Department of Biology Grand Valley State University 1 Campus Drive Allendale‚ MI 49401 georged@mail.gvsu.edu Abstract The lab for this paper was conducted for the topic of osmosis‚ the movement of water from high to low concentration. Five artificial cells were created‚ each being filled with different concentrated solutions of sucrose. These artificial cells were placed in hypertonic‚ hypotonic‚ or isotonic solutions for a period of 90

Formal Scientific Lab Report Osmosis Katy Hunter 10-26-2012 Abstract: The objectives of this lab was to be able to create models of cells with the dialysis tubing to show us how the plasma membrane is selectively permeable‚ to study the effects of osmosis on a model cell‚ and to foresee the effect of solute concentration on osmosis. In order to achieve these objectives‚ we had to fill the dialysis tubing with either water‚ or different amounts of sucrose. We then tied off the tubes and put

in order to study the cell transport mechanism via the cell’s selectively permeable membrane and passive processes of simple and facilitated diffusion. The plasma membrane is a gateway which allows nutrients to enter the cell and keep undesirable substances out‚ hence‚ making it selectively permeable. One method of transport is called active transport‚ which uses ATP to transport substances through the membrane. The other is called passive process‚ which does not require ATP energy and the transport

Outline the roles of membrane at the surface of the cell The plasma membrane encloses the cell‚ defines it boundaries and maintains the essential differences between the cytosol and the extra-cellular environment. The separation of the internal and external environment maintains a constant internal environment which is essential for the cell to function efficiently. Membrane receptors can interact with specific molecules corresponding to stimuli such as hormones to generate a signal cascade which

Lab: investigating hooked law with springs Purpose: to find spring constants of different springs using the slope of a graph of change in heights vs. the weight force. Also‚ to be able to understand how spring constants change when you add springs in a series or paralle Pre lab predictions: We predicted that the graph of gravitational force (mg) as a function of stretch (delta x) would look like Data: Spring #1: y = 8.2941x + 0.0685 This table represents the different distances that

Through the Tunnel by Doris Lessing The narrative constructs an eleven-year old English boy‚ Jerry‚ who is on holiday with his mother in the South of France. He encounters a group of older‚ native African-French boys swimming along the beach. When they disappeared by swimming through an underwater passageway to the other side of a large rock in the ocean‚ he feels left out and rejected. Jerry makes it his goal to swim through the passageway to prove to the older boys his manhood‚ even if it meant
