Transport Across The Plasma Membrane Intracellular Fluid (ICF) – The two thirds of your body fluid contained inside body cells. (Intra = within). The cytosol of the cell. Extracellular Fluid (ECF) – Fluid outside the body cells. (extra = outside). Interstitial Fluid – The ECF in tiny spaces between cells (inter = between). Plasma- the ECF in blood vessels. Lymph- The ECF in lymphatic vessels. Solute – Any material dissolved in fluid. Solvent- The fluid a Solute is dissolved in. Concentration

The plasma membrane is a fluid phospholipid bilayer. The outside of the bilayer is hydrophilic portions of porteins and phospholipids because they are exposed to water. This results in a stable membrane structure. Inside the bilayer hydrophobic portions of proteins and phospholipids because the inside of the bilayer is nonaqueous. the proteins bob in the fluid bilayer of phospholipids. The proteins also vary in structure and function. There are teh integral proteins; transmembrane

Demonstrating Osmosis in Potato Conclusion The data we had did not support the definition of Osmosis‚ Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a partially permeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration; the data we collected did not seem to fit into this. The potato chips were suppose to lose more mass in the higher concentrated solution as the water from the potato chip will flow out to the higher concentrated solution as the water inside

Introduction Glucose is very important in our daily lives. It gives us energy to carry out all of our activities. Cells in our bodies need glucose to respire and in the process release the energy we need. Glucose is also a type of carbohydrate. It has a chemical formula of C6H12O6 and is a monosaccharide reducing sugar (Kolej Mara Banting – Students’ Handbook for Biology HL Year 1). It is the simplest form of carbohydrate. In this experiment‚ sulphuric acid‚ H2SO4 and potassium permanganate

Osmosis is the net movement of water from a high concentration of water to a low concentration of water down a concentration gradient. This is done to equalise the solute concentrations on the two sides. Therefore‚ in other words‚ the movement of water is depended on the concentration of dissolved solute in the water (in this case the sucrose) and if there are a higher concentration of sucrose in the visking tubing‚ the water in the beaker will move into the visking tubing to make both solution balanced
Premium Osmosis Diffusion Concentration
passive transport as energy does not need to be generated. Diffusion is complete when the concentration of molecules is equal on either side of the membrane. Diffusion rate can be influenced by many factors such as: Concentration gradient across the the membrane. Permeability of the membrane to the diffusing substance. Temperature. Surface area of the membrane. Question 2 2.1 Acetylcholine is an organic chemical that functions in the brain and body as a neurotransmitter it is an ester of acetic acid

Osmosis in Potato Tubers Andrew Dickson Background When a plant cell is bathed in a solution of the same concentration (isotonic) as its intracellular environment‚ its mass and volume remain the same. This is because water enters and leaves the cells at the same rate. There is no net loss or gain of water by osmosis. Samples of cells can be placed in a range of solutions of different concentration. The cells will gain water by osmosis when placed in solutions which are more dilute (hypotonic)
