    The fluid mosaic model of the cell membrane. What is the fluid mosaic model? The fluid mosaic model is a model conceived by S.J. Singer and Garth Nicolson in 1972 to describe the structural features of biological membranes. The membrane is described to be fluid because of its hydrophobic integral components such as lipids and membrane proteins that move laterally or sideways throughout the membrane. That means the membrane is not solid‚ but more like a ’fluid’. The membrane is depicted as mosaic

    Introduction The reason of this experiment was to identify the properties and effects of osmosis. Osmosis can be defined as the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. (Miller/Levine) Osmosis occurs when there is an area of higher and lower concentration. Osmosis is a type of diffusion. Diffusion is when molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of higher concentration. The three types of concentrations are hypotonic‚ hypertonic‚ and isotonic. When in comparison

    Blood Components Normally‚ 7-8% of human body weight is from blood. In adults‚ this amounts to 4.5-6 quarts of blood. This essential fluid carries out the critical functions of transporting oxygen and nutrients to our cells and getting rid of carbon dioxide‚ ammonia‚ and other waste products. In addition‚ it plays a vital role in our immune system and in maintaining a relatively constant body temperature. Blood is a highly specialized tissue composed of more than 4‚000 different kinds of

    Diffusion and Osmosis Shown In Solutions Section 1: Abstract This lab‚ title Diffusion and Osmosis‚ was centered around the diffusion across a cellular membrane and how exactly materials move and diffuse in concentrations. Both diffusion and osmosis are forms of movement that are part of passive transport dealing with cell membranes. Diffusion is where the solutes move from an area of high concentration to a low concentration. Water goes through the cell membranes by diffusion. Osmosis is specifically

    BLOOD 1. The important components of blood include plasma‚ erythrocytes‚ and leukocytes. Red blood cells or erythrocytes account for 45 % of the blood. Leukocytes or white blood cells‚ aid in protecting the body from disease as well as platelets. Platelets function to inhibit excessive bleeding from the body. The plasma layer is another layer that constitutes the majority of blood. 2. The Plasma is straw coloured. It has 90% water‚ 7%proteins and 3% other substances. The Plasma protects the

    Blood Composition. The following are components of blood - red blood cells‚ white blood cells‚ platelets and plasma (the liquid component). Red blood cells are the pinky white circles‚ the white blood cells are the big red blobs. Red blood cells do not have a nucleus because they do not divide and multiply Red blood cells are bi-concave‚ they are donut shaped. Red blood cells contain a pigment called haemoglobin which can react with oxygen to form the unstable compound‚ oxy-haemoglobin. Hb+4O2

    Reverse Osmosis Application Assignment Osmosis is the dissemination of water atoms through a semi-permeable layer from areas of high to low concentration in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentration on both sides. In real life osmosis is found in roots of plants retain water from the dirt‚ and kidneys taking water from blood [5]. Reverse osmosis is the removal of solute from water by applying pressure to the water and moving the solution through a semi-permeable membrane. It is

    Potato Osmosis and Diffusion Lab Report Emily Cocq Research Question: Will there be a difference in the experimented potato cores after being subjected to high concentrations of sugar? Introduction: Water can move through protein channels in cell membrane/cell walls. The water will move due to the water potential of the cells. If there is a greater concentration of solutes (chemicals) inside the cell than outside the cell and the chemicals can not move‚ then water will respond by moving
