concentration (of water molecules) to a region of lower concentration (of water molecules). We define 3 types of solutions based upon osmotic activity. In an isotonic solution‚ the solute concentration is the same on both sides of the membrane so there is no net movement of water. ( See Figure 1) In a hypotonic solution‚ solute concentration is higher inside the cell than outside. So water moves from a high concentration outside the cell to a lower concentration inside the

Experiment 1. For each of the bags‚ identify whether the solution inside was hypertonic‚ hypotonic or isotonic in comparison to the beaker solution it was placed in. Bag #1’s solution was hypotonic compared to the solution of beaker #2. Bag #2’s solution was also hypotonic compared to the solution of beaker #2. Bag #3’s solution was isotonic compared to the solution of beaker #2 and Bag #4’s solution was hypertonic compared to the solution of beaker #1. 2. Which bag increased the most in volume

Introduction: During this laboratory exercise will identify by the graph given which is isotonic‚ hypotonic‚ or hypertonic. The kidneys are a pair of fist-sized organs located outside the peritoneal cavity on each side of the spine. The kidney is a highly specialized organ that maintains the internal environment of the body by selectively excreting or retaining various substances according to specific body needs. The process of urine formation and adjustment of blood composition involves three

water moves down its concentration gradient. A solution surrounding a cell is hypertonic if it contains more solute particles than the inside of the cell‚ and the water will move out of the cell into the surrounding hypertonic solution by osmosis. If the solution is hypotonic (containing fewer solute particles than the inside of the cell)‚ the water will move from the solution into the cell. When the solution is isotonic (the same concentration of solutes as the cell)‚ the cell neither gains nor loses

water concentration. Imagine that a cell from your body is placed in a solution of water. If the concentration of the water inside the cell is the same as the concentration of water in the solution‚ then we describe the water solution as being “isotonic” or having the same concentration as the water inside the cell. In this case‚ net movement of water will be zero and the cell will not swell or shrink. In other words‚ the same amount of water will move in the cells as will move out. On the other

bags 2‚ 3‚ and 4 are hypertonic to the water inside the beaker. Adversely‚ the water inside the beaker is hypotonic to the sucrose inside the bag. Another example to this would be swimming in the ocean (salt water) where the ocean’s water is hypertonic (lower water concentration) and the human body is hypotonic (higher water concentration)‚ causing the water inside the human body to move from its high concentration to the ocean’s low concentration. Bag 1 represents an isotonic solution‚ where the

Question: investigate the water potential of potato tissue? Introduction All cells require essential materials to ensure their survival. Chemical‚ physical‚ and biological processes are used to move these materials inside of cells. Similar processes move waste materials outside of cells. These processes can be passive‚ occurring as a result of basic physical laws and requiring no outside energy from the cell or they can be active‚ requiring energy expenditure. Since all molecules possess kinetic
