move through a membrane out of the cell in order to make the water concentrations equal. This causes the cell to shrink (hypertonic). If the concentration of certain molecules is higher inside of the cell‚ then the water will move into the cell causing it to swell (hypotonic). When the molecule concentrations are equal on both sides of the membrane‚ water does not move (isotonic). In the human body‚ many salts and enzymes help to regulate a cell’s state and the processes necessary for the human

3. Describe the differences between animal and plant cells. Although plant and animal cells both have mitochondria‚ cytoplasm‚ and ribosomes they differ in many ways. Animal cells do not have a cell wall and are round with irregular shapes. Centrioles are also present in all animal cells‚ as well as most eukaryotic cells. Plant cells only have centrioles if they are in the lower plant species. Both types of cells have vacuoles‚ but their functions are quite different. The purpose of vacuoles in

Blood Cells. When a Red Blood Cell is submersed in a high concentration of saline solution it will create a hypertonic environment and therefore cause the cell to rupture due to the process of osmosis. The methods used to collect data were observation and note taking. Overall the results proved the hypothesis correct with major findings being a higher concentration of salt causing a hypotonic environment and a low concentration. Recommendations included major changes to the materials and method which

Human Physiology Spring 2014 Exam I 1. If red blood cells are placed in a hyperosmotic solution they will: a. shrink b. swell c. can’t tell what the cell will do d. remain the same 2. If red blood cells are placed in a solution that is hypotonic the cells will: a. shrink b. swell c. remain the same d. change depends on type of solutes 3. Using the information presented in lecture which of the following is most likely to be the source for the keto acid necessary for the production

types of condition that involves osmosis which is hypotonic‚ hypertonic and isotonic. In a hypotonic solution‚ the water will move into the cell due to the outside of the cell having a lower solute concentration than the inside of the cell. When an animal cell is placed in a hypotonic surrounding (lower solute concentration)‚ the water molecules will move into the cell causing the cell to burst and haemolysed. When plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution‚ water molecules diffuse into the cell

is losing water in a hypertonic solution. A hypertonic solution is when there is a greater concentration of solutes on the outside of a cell when compared with the inside of a cell. When referring to plant cells‚ turgid is when there is a high concentration inside the cell‚ and places in a more dilute environment known as a hypotonic solution. Meaning that hypotonic means when there is a greater concentration inside the cell when compared to the outside. Lastly‚ an isotonic solution is when equilibrium

What sort of environment (hypertonic‚ isotonic‚ hypotonic) does consuming excessive amounts of pure water create in the body fluid that surrounds your cells? What effect would this have on your cells? - A hypotonic environment would be created in the body fluid‚ as there would be a lower concentration of solutes outside of the cell than inside the cell. This would create

How can we demonstrate active transport? How can we demonstrate Brownian movement? How can we demonstrate diffusion (2 ways)? How can we demonstrate osmosis (3 ways)? In terms of relationships between substances‚ how can we define “hypertonic”‚ “isotonic”‚ and “hypotonic”? What is the relationship between the size of a molecule and its rate of diffusion? ____________________________________________________________________________ Supplies ► Materials Needed Active Transport: Baker’s Yeast 0

water was to display an isotonic system. It was also to display osmosis in the water and it was used as a selectively permeable membrane to model the cell membrane. . This first system could be considered the control group out of the four other systems. The flow of water in and out of the cup was almost the same‚ this is because the percent change between the initial mass and final mass was 0.6%. This shows that the bag got heavier even though it is considered an isotonic system. The net flow of

Discussion: Osmosis is a passive process by which water molecules move through a partially permeable membrane from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration‚ creating an equal amount of molecules from both regions on each side of the membrane. This process is the result of a downhill energy system known as water potential. Water potential is the potential energy of water (per unit volume) that allows it to move from one area to another by osmosis. This system causes the water
