The plasma membrane of a cell is extremely important to the transportation of substances into and out of the cell. The outer membrane of a cell is made up of lipids and proteins. Most of the lipids in plasma membranes are phospholipids. The phospholipids have a hydrophilic head and two hydrophobic tails. When engulfed in water‚ they arrange themselves such that all the hydrophobic tails clump together‚ surrounded by the hydrophilic heads‚ protecting the tails from the exposure to the water. In cells

Answers TO DETERMINE THE EFFECT OF CHEMICALS AND TEMPERATURE ON MEMBRANE DESTRUCTION AND PERMEABILITY IN BEETROOT (Beta vulgaris) Introduction The cell membrane is made up primarily of phospholipids and proteins which contribute to its selectively permeable nature. The function and permeability of the cell membrane depends on its intact structure. When destroyed‚ the permeability of the cell membrane is disrupted causing cellular contents to leak out. The cell membrane can be destroyed by physical

Heat of Mixing: Ethanol and Water Abstract The temperature change when known amounts of water and ethanol were mixed was determined to see the enthalpy change in an isothermal and isobaric environment. Agreeable data was found compared to similar experiments. As the mole fraction increased of the solution so did the enthalpy until a certain limit of about 0.32. Since water’s structure and unique properties affect many aspects of a solution‚ the solutions enthalpy’s decreased at a certain time

Lab 3 – Homework 1. Purpose of today’s experiment: To determine the effect osmotic pressure might have on cellular membranes‚ specifically when beet slices are placed in NaCl solutions of varying concentrations. 2. Hypothesis: The osmolarity will directly increase with increasing NaCl concentrations. 3. Control = Distilled Water – this was present in all solutions 4. The independent variable – salinity of the 6 solutions; while predetermined‚ the NaCl concentrations varied from 0% to 15%.

and negative effects in the environment and the economy. The article discusses how methanol could be another alternative to gasoline and it is a made from natural gas‚ which makes it easier to make and use. Methanol (see Figure 1) is that it is the simplest alcohol with a chain of one carbon atom with three hydrogen atoms attached. The characteristics of this simple alcohol are that it is a light‚ volatile‚ and flammable liquid with a unique odor very similar to ethanol. Unlike ethanol‚ methanol is

Balance (Non-reacting Systems) THR/WRU 1. A 40-mol-% aqueous ethanol solution is to be distilled into two streams: a distillate with 98% ethanol and a side stream with 60%. 98% of the alcohol in the feed is to be recovered in these two products; only 2% goes into the bottoms. If the bottoms product contains 2% ethanol‚ calculate the amount of the different streams per 1000 kmol of feed stream. Given: Recovery = 98% of ethanol in feed to distillate and side stream Feed‚ F xF = 0.40 Side

Cell Membrane Structure Phospholipids are arranged in to layers‚ called the bilayer. They only have 2 fatty acids‚ this is because the third fatty acid is replaced by a negatively charged phosphate group. The phosphate heads are polar‚ in other words attracted to water‚ therefore they are hydrophilic. The lipid tails are non-popular as they’re not attracted to water and therefore known as hydrophobic. When phospholipids are added to the water‚ they rearrange themselves so that the hydrophilic heads
