the structure of the cell determines its function. Give at least 3 examples. Being specialized means that the cell or organelles structure is suited specifically for its function. Three examples of this are mitochondria‚ lysosomes‚ and the plasma membrane. Mitochondria have a lot of surface area so they can create more energy. Lysosomes

turgid (stiff and hard)‚ does not explode because of the rigid cell wall. Cells lose water and become flaccid (floppy). If it keeps loosing water‚ water leaves the vacuole and membrane pulls away from wall. Becomes plasmolysed. Excytosis adds to the cell membrane while endocytosis removes part of the cell membrane. Paramecium Osmoregulation. This is the control of water inside a cell or organism. It is very important if you are a unicellular organism living in fresh water. Water is continually

Osmosis and Diffusion were tested and examined in this lab. We examined the percent increase of mass and molarity of different concentrations of sucrose in the dialysis bag emerged in distilled water and the potato cores emerged in concentrations of sucrose. The data reinforces the principles of Osmosis and Diffusion‚ and in a biological context‚ we can simulate how water and particles move in and out of our own cells. Introduction Objective: 1. Investigate the process of osmosis and diffusion in a model
Premium Osmosis Diffusion Concentration
Introduction Every cell is selectively permeable to different molecules. This type of selectively is caused by a semi-permeable membrane‚ which allows the movement of certain molecules across it. Water exchange can be measured in two ways: RBC osmotic permeability is measured‚ and diffusional water permeability is measured (Benga and Borza 1995). Diffusion is the movement of high concentration to low concentration. The diffusion of water across a permeable membrane is called osmosis. Water concentration

Diffusion is a way nonvascular plants can get water. It is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration until they are equal. An example of diffusion is red food coloring. When you put food coloring in a glass of water the color will spread through the water until all of it is a red tint. This shows the molecules of the food coloring equally distributed in the area of the water. Osmosis is a special type of diffusion where only the water molecules

concentration gradient on the diffusion rate. It was hypothesized that the greater the stronger the concentration gradient‚ the faster the rate of diffusion would be. To test this‚ dialysis tubes were submerged in different concentration fructose solutions. We weighed the tubes at specific time intervals to measure the rate of diffusion of water in each different solution. The results illustrated that increased concentration gradient increases the rate of diffusion of water in the tubes. We concluded

- Molecules move from hypertonic to hypotonic‚ until it reaches an isotonic state (or equilibrium). At that point‚ molecules will move equally across the membrane. 10-1 Cell Growth surface-area-to-volume-ratio: the ratio of surface area to volume cell division: division of a cell (also called mitosis) Explain why larger organisms are made of many small cells rather than one large cell‚ emphasizing the
