This may also be applied to the study of transport mechanisms in living membrane-bounded cells. Also‚ understanding of which way substances will move passively through a deferentially permeable membrane depending on the concentration differences. We used PhysioEx software to examine diffusion. In these experiments we used different sized membranes as well as NaCl‚ urea‚ glucose‚ albumin‚ powdered

    Ernie Reed BIO-013/ Stem Cell Research Sullivan 11.10.2010 STEM CELL RESEARCH What is a stem cell? One can define a stem cell as a cell type that is found in many tissues. This particular cell is unique in the fact that it can divide itself over and over virtually to an infinite number. This process of reproduction ensures that the cells can restore other cells that may have gotten damaged; this process may only occur if the person is still living. The same goes for animals. As the stem cell

    Cell Membrane Simple diffusion is when a small‚ non-polar molecule passes through a lipid bilayer. It is classified as a means of passive transport. In simple diffusion‚ a hydrophobic molecule can move into the hydrophobic region of the membrane without getting rejected. Simple diffusion does not involve a protein. An example of simple diffusion is osmosis. Hydrophilic molecules cannot participate in simple diffusion because they would move into the hydrophobic region of the membrane and be

    Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a partially permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration‚ in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides. It may also be used to describe a physical process in which any solvent moves‚ without input of energy‚ across a semipermeable membrane separating two solutions of different concentrations. Although osmosis does not require input of energy‚ it does use kinetic energy and

    type of passive transport is diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of molecule across the membrane from high to low concentration. Diffusion naturally occurs until equilibrium is reached. Only very small molecules can cross the membrane in diffusion. These include ions‚ gases‚ alcohols‚ and small lipids. The next type of passive transport is osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across the cell membrane. Three examples of osmosis are hypertonic‚ hypotonic‚ and isotonic solutions. A hypertonic
