osmosis. Water concentration in red blood cells can cause three different situations: hypertonic solution‚ isotonic solution‚ and a hypotonic solution. A hypertonic solution is when there is a higher concentration of salts dissolved outside the cell and pure water inside the cell‚ the water rushes out of the cell to try to dilute the salt solution causing the cell to shrivel up. An isotonic solution is where the water has achieved equilibrium with concentrations inside and outside of the cell‚ so

Hypotonic‚ Hypertonic‚ and Isotonic Solutions Affect the Water Movement of a Cell? Michael Halverson Valhalla High School El Cajon‚ California Research Host: Kim E. Barrett‚ Ph.D. University of California‚ San Diego 1997 Grade Level: High School How Do Hypotonic‚ Hypertonic‚ and Isotonic Solutions Affect the Water Movement of a Cell? Purpose: The purpose of this activity is to teach students about osmosis and the effects of hypotonic‚ hypertonic‚ and isotonic solutions on animal cells.

Cell Transport Mechanisms and Permeability 1 EXERCISE 1 OBJECTIVES 1. To define the following terms: differential permeability‚ passive and active processes of transport‚ diffusion (simple diffusion‚ facilitated dif- fusion‚ and osmosis)‚ solute pump‚ pinocytosis‚ and phagocytosis. 2. To describe the processes that account for the movement of sub- stances across the plasma membrane‚ and to indicate the driving force for each. 3. To determine which way substances will move passively

The two variables that affect the rate of diffusion are: A. The size of the molecule. The larger molecule will diffuse more slowly than the smaller molecule. B. The nature of plasma membrane. If the membrane is composed of lipid portion.‚ only lipid soluble molecules can pass through while water molecules

Your answer : b. The conduction velocity in the B fiber will be slower because the B fiber has a smaller diameter and less myelination. Predict Question 2: How will the conduction velocity in the C fiber compare with that in the B Fiber? Your answer : d. The conduction

The Comparison and Contraction Between Various Skin Cells By: Michael McDaniel‚ Latoya Gates‚ Cristy Barfield‚ and Danielle Chapelle Abstract During this experiment we planned to compare and contrast human cheek cells of a variety of age groups‚ different stages of skin‚ and difference in species. We wanted to see if age could correlate to cell structure and size‚ if animal and human cells differed and if epidermal and cheek cells could differ in shape‚ size‚ and color. The age groups that

Is the peak force produced in the second contraction greater than that produced by the first stimulus? yes 2. Is the total force production even greater?yes. 3. In order to produce smooth‚ sustained muscle contraction at Active Force = 2 gms‚ do you think you will need to increase or decrease the voltage? State your hypothesis.decrease. 4. Test your hypothesis. At what voltage

One example of a heart rate is called resting heart rate. The resting heart rate of the body is the number of contractions of the heart that occur in a single minute while the body is at complete rest. The resting heart rate can differentiate upon age‚ gender‚ and health of a human. There will also be a difference in number upon the resting heart rate of athletes and a non-athletes. I calculated 68 beats per minute for my resting heart rate. Another example of heart rate is target heart rate. Mathematically
