conditions do cells gain or lose water? Did water move into the cell or out of the cell while it was surrounded by hypotonic solution? The water moved into the cell‚ because there was less water inside the cell than outside (there were fewer water molecules inside). 2. In which direction did the water move though the cell membrane when the cell was surrounded by the hypertonic solution? The water moved out of the cell because there was a higher concentration of water inside the cell than outside

Cells are considered the basic units of life in part because they come in discrete and easily recognizable packages. That’s because all cells are surrounded by a structure called the cell membrane. The cell is the very smallest unit of living matter. All living things including plants and animals are made up of cells. Cells are made of atoms‚ which are the smallest units of matter. There are many different kinds of cells. The two kinds you are most likely to be familiar with are animal and plant

Cell Structure - Cell Organelles 1. What is cell theory? Cell theory asserts that the cell is the constituent unit of living beings. Before the discovery of the cell‚ it was not recognized that living beings were made of building blocks like cells. The cell theory is one of the basic theories of Biology. 2. Are there living beings without cells? Viruses are considered the only living beings that do not have cells. Viruses are constituted by genetic material (DNA or RNA) enwrapped by a protein

Diffusion and Osmosis lab Results: Figure 1a-rate of weight change in 15 min intervals of each concentration. The first tube showed very little weight change. However all other tubes show a greater change the concentration could be the factor that determines the permeability of the sucrose. The sucrose molecules are too large to pass through. Figure 1b- sucrose concentration determines the weight change. In this case based on our results as concentration increases the percent weight change

concentration. It’s also the main method by which small molecules move across the cell membrane. Since molecules are always moving and bumping into each other‚ the more molecules are in an area‚ the more collisions there will be. These collisions cause molecules to push away from each other. So‚ over time‚ the molecules of a substance will continue to spread out. Eventually‚ they will be spread evenly throughout the area. Osmosis is the diffusion of water. (when “the substance” that is diffusing is water)

process which molecules dissipate into a solution evenly over a period of time. An example is putting sugar in your coffee‚ after a while if you don ’t mix the solution‚ the sucrose will over time‚ go through the process of diffusion and be distributed throughout the coffee. Osmosis is movement of H2O molecules passing through a permeable cell membrane to the less concentrated solution‚ eventually to reach an equivalent number of molecules on both sides of the cell membrane. 1.2 The important factors

Cell Specialisation All cells are designed to perform a particular job within an organism‚ that is‚ to sustain life. Cells can become specialized to perform a particular function within an organism‚ usually as part of a larger tissue consisting of many of the same cells working together for example muscle cells. The cells combine together for a common purpose. All organisms will contain specialised cells. There are hundreds of types of specialised cells. Below is listed some of the major ones

Social System Course Guide‚ 1993). Homeostasis refers to the body ’s ability to keep the internal chemical and physical environments constant. As your body begins to react to stress several changes occur. These changes include increased heart rate‚ blood pressure and secretion of stimulatory hormones. Ones body prepares itself in stressful situations to either stand ground and fight or to flee from the situation. Walter Cannon called this stressful reaction the fight-or-flight response (Greenberg‚
