Cell Transport Mechanisms and Permeability 1 EXERCISE 1 OBJECTIVES 1. To define the following terms: differential permeability‚ passive and active processes of transport‚ diffusion (simple diffusion‚ facilitated dif- fusion‚ and osmosis)‚ solute pump‚ pinocytosis‚ and phagocytosis. 2. To describe the processes that account for the movement of sub- stances across the plasma membrane‚ and to indicate the driving force for each. 3. To determine which way substances will move passively

molecules in or out of their membrane. Some require no energy to do so (passive transport) while others require energy to be processed through (active transport). There is also the transportation of water across a membrane‚ which has its own term of osmosis. Too much of something can be taken in‚ or too little enters. This especially happens to plants‚ who require water (and sun) to live. Not enough water‚ as herbalists or any plant lover will know‚ will cause the plant to wilt. However‚ why consider

Analysis During the experiment‚ a dialysis bag was used to mimic a cell membrane. Two ways why this model realistically represents a cell is because the dialysis bag is semi-permeable‚ like a cell. The bag was able to allow water in‚ as the size of the water molecule was small enough to be able to fit through the pores of the bag. Sucrose was not able to pass through as the molecules were too big to enter. This is similar to a cell because the size of a molecule can determine whether or not the

Membranes allow the diffusion by letting certain molecules pass through it. Small pores in the semi (selectively) permeable membranes‚ which flow only towards one way‚ allow the process of osmosis to continue. These pores let only tiny molecules to go through them. One example might be the dialysis tubing in which a membrane made of a regenerated cellulose fibers formed into a flat tube. If two solutions containing dissolved substances of different

Environmental Parameters of Enzyme Activity Alex Rocha Texas State University Abstract If you’ve ever left a cut up apple out for long‚ you’ll notice that after a while‚ it will turn brown. The reason for this is an enzyme named catechol oxidase‚ a ubiquitous plant enzymes containing a dinuclear copper center (Klabunde‚ Eicken‚ Sacchettini‚ & Krebs‚ 1998). In this experiment‚ we used two different chelators‚ ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid and phenylthiourea to test which would stop

Fresh potatoes extract in phosphate buffer pH6 containing the enzyme: polyphenol-oxidase‚ was used as the variable being tested in this experiment. You may refer to the Enzymatic Reactions Biology 21 Lab Manual. Santa Monica College by Logan‚ R. 2003 to see how the potatoes extract in phosphate buffer was made. We began this experiment by measuring seven constant amounts of 1ml of 0.1% catechol using a 1 mL pipet into each seven cuvettes. The catechol is our substrate solution. Next‚ different amounts

Diffusion is a natural act that takes place in the human body in order to utilize and absorb important concentrations into the body. In order to understand how diffusion works‚ it is important to understand how temperature plays a role. In connection with diffusion‚ a certain temperature must be obtained to begin the process. Introduction Diffusion is very important in the body for the movement of substances. An example would be the movement of oxygen from the air into the blood and carbon dioxide

Discussion: We have made four set-ups in two different specimens. Onion and Boat of Moses skin with water‚ 2%‚ 5% and 10% salt (NaCl) Solution. Based on our experiment‚ the result of the set up explains that the presence of the salt solution results in outward diffusion of water and the collapse of the protoplast. In table 1‚ we have observed under the microscope that the onionskin mounted with water has no results of plasmolyzed cell (0%). This time‚ we have repeated the procedure with 2% salt

During the Toxicity of Morton Salt on Radish Seeds experiment‚ we measured the levels of iodized Morton Salt to the growth rate of radish seeds. Each six packets had ten radish seeds with different level of iodized salt solution. The packet with no iodized salt solution grew the longest in a period of days‚ compared to the other packets that had iodized salt. Solutions 100% and 10% had no growth progress within the past five days. As for solutions 1%‚ .1%‚ and .01% grew‚ yet not as much nor fast

Diffusion and Osmosis Experiment Methods/Materials: 7.1 Experiment: Rate of Diffusion of Solutes In the initial set up of this experiment I had 2 sets of 3 screw-cap test tubes that had each been half-filled with 5% gelatin and 1-mL of the correct dye (either potassium dichromate‚ aniline blue‚ or Janus green) in each of the test tubes. I labeled the 3 test tubes of set 1 with which die they contained and marked them “5 ˚C”. Then with the other set I did the same exact thing‚ except I labeled
