3.1 BIOLOGICAL MEMBRANES 3.1.1 Properties of Cell Membranes • Separates living cell from its nonliving surroundings. • 8 nm thick. • Selectively permeable - allows some substances to cross more easily than others. 4.1.2 Fluid Mosaic Model • Singer and Nicolson (1972) - plasma membrane is a mosaic of proteins dispersed within lipid bilayer‚ with only bilayer‚ the hydrophilic regions exposed to water. Hydrophilic region of protein Phospholipid bilayer Hydrophobic region of protein

It can still take place due to molecules moving all the time due to the mixture of concentration. Osmosis Activity 4: Osmosis 1. Did you observe any pressure changes during the experiment? If so‚ in which beaker(s)‚ and with which membranes? Pressure changed in the left beaker with 20 MWCO 2. Why? Lower number in molecules moving around 3. Did the Na+/Cl-

more permeable to water. When ADH is increased in the blood flow‚ more water-permeable channels are inserted‚ allowing more water to be reabsorbed by osmosis into the blood stream. When this happens‚ less urine‚ of a much lowered water potential‚ passes out of the body. This suggests that due to the cell walls being more permeable to water and also osmosis reabsorbing the water‚ this in turn lead to Leah’s water intoxication‚ as it was stored in the body opposed to leaving it correctly. Consequently

occurs when solutes are transferred from a high concentration of that solute to a lower concentration of solutes. Solutes do not depend on the concentration of other solutes‚ which allows the cell to take in oxygen while releasing carbon dioxide. Osmosis is a special type of diffusion‚ which occurs when water is diffused across the membrane. This can be affected by how hydrophilic a solute is on either side of the membrane. The diffusion of glucose‚ starch‚ and iodine was observed when the solutes

cell and because of that the water potential outside the cell would be lower than inside the cell. This would cause water (turgor pressure) to be lost by Osmosis. Osmosis is the net movement of water from high pressure to low pressure across a partially permiable membrane and it is that reason that it requires no energy for the movement. Osmosis eventually stops/slows down when water pressure has become balanced out between the “movements”. Planning & Implementing In this study I will use different

Cell Biology- Osmosis‚ Cell Size and Diffusion and Enzymes 1.0 INTRODUCTION Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things. They provide structure for the body‚ take in nutrients from the food‚ convert those nutrients into energy‚ and carry out specialized functions. Cells also contain the body’s genetic material and can make copies of themselves. A cell is also a metabolic compartment where many different chemical reaction occur. There are two types of cells‚ eukaryotic and prokaryotic
