shows that we accept the null hypothesis for weight change because weight is not impacted by temperature. The statistical test used results that did not show that the lipid bilayer portion of the membrane of living cells is not permeable like the dialysis membrane used in the lab. The dialysis membrane used in the lab is permeable to small ions like Na+ and Clˉ. The experiment was also performed in a “closed system” which is not reflected in the statistical test. The results of the statistical test

“MEMPOT”© – Computer Simulation of Membrane Potential Measurements INTRODUCTION “MEMPOT”© is an interactive graphical simulation program that is designed to show how cell membrane potentials are measured with microelectrodes in the laboratory situation. The simulation shows how the membrane potential depends on the external potassium‚ [K+]o and external sodium‚ [Na+]o concentrations and the relative permeability of the membrane to these ions. The program simulates membrane potential measurements in any

why increasing extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative value. How well did the results compare with your prediction? Your answer: If extracellular K+ is increased then the intracellular K+ will decrease. Fewer intracellular K+ ions would result in the membrane potential being less negative. This is what I predicted to happen. 3. Explain why a change in extracellular Na+ did not significantly alter the membrane potential in the resting neuron? Your answer:

dendrite -> soma -> axon -> synapse Lecture 2 – Chapters 4 & 5 Ion channels and signalling - ions are separated by cell membrane; when ion channels are opened‚ ions flow -> generating electrical signals -> so neurons can communicate info through these electrical signals - neurons generate a constant negative voltage across membrane: the rmp - an AP abolishes the –ve rmp‚ making membrane potential transiently positive - we can record and measure ion currents using electrophysiology - hyperpolarization

freezing points of distilled water and saltwater were measured‚ and found to both be about 0 °C. The osmotic effects of different solutions on a dialysis bag and an egg membrane were observed and it was possible to distinguish between hypertonic and hypotonic solutions. Experiment and Observation: The first step in this experiment was

Osmosis and diffusion are two procedures that are critical for cell survival. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a cell’s membrane. These two procedures help a cell to survive because they help maintain homestasis. (Diffusion) Homestasis is the steady or balanced state of a cell. (Diffusion) Therefore it is important to find what conditions will make these procedures occur to

out how the permeability of a beetroot membrane cell is affected by ethanol. To do this we will investigate different concentrations of alcohol (10-70%) and measure the absorbance using a colorimeter to show us how much juice has leaked out. Hypothesis I predict that as the concentration of ethanol goes up‚ the permeability will increase as the ethanol will slowly dissolve more phospholipids (lipid bilayer) and so more anthocyanin (the beetroot juice) will leak out of the membrane. So at 10%
