How Does Salinity Effect Osmosis in Plant Cells? Introduction Osmosis is a type of diffusion but is the movement of water molecules in and out of the cells from a high concentration to low concentration through a semi permeable membrane. The aim of the experiment is to investigate the effect the salinity of solutions has on the process of osmosis and net weight gain/ loss by potato cells. This would be done by using similar size potato cubes and covering them with different concentrations of saline

Diffusion‚ Osmosis and Active Transport Substances will move through the membrane by diffusion. This is the random spreading out of particles until they are even. For example‚ when you put your instant coffee in boiling water‚ the coffee particles spread out and fill the entire mug‚ this is diffusion. A second way that substances can move through the cell membrane is by osmosis. This is a special type of diffusion where water moves from a high to a low concentration through a ’partially permeable

Wimpy’s burger meal likely contained simple carbohydrates from the white flour bun‚ sugars in the ketchup‚ and saturated fats from the beef patty and cheese slice. Conversely‚ his turkey sub meal after the transformation likely provided complex carbohydrates from the whole wheat sub roll‚ lower amounts of saturated fats with high amounts of unsaturated fats in the turkey breast slices‚ and unsaturated fats from the veggies.

Fluid Balance Explain in detail the fluid compartments of the body‚ including distribution of fluid and electrolytes within each compartment and the movement between compartments. In the average person water constitutes 60% to the total body weight.: 42L in a 70kg individual. 40% is intracellelular fluid‚ while remaining 20% is extracellular. The extracellular fluid can be divided into plasma (from intravascular compartment) and interstitial fluid intracellular fluid (28 L‚ about 35% of lean

Alterations in Fluids‚ Electrolytes‚ and Acid-Base Balance Composition & Compartment Distribution of Body Fluids ← Body fluids are distributed between the intracellular fluid (ICF) and extracellular fluid (ECF) compartments. The ICF compartment consists of fluid contained within all of the billions of cells in the body. It is the larger of the two compartments‚ containing approximately two thirds of the body water in healthy adults. ← The remaining one third of body water is in

membrane peels away from the cell wall. When this begins to happen it is called Incipient Plasmolysis and when the cytoplasm is almost completely gone it is call “full/complete” Plasmolysis. Plasmolysis is only possible if the cell is placed in a hypertonic solution‚ which is a solution where the water external to the cell has more solutes than within the plant cell and because of that the water potential outside the cell would be lower than inside the cell. This would cause water (turgor pressure)
