particular) plant cell which has lost vast amounts of water. When this happens‚ turgor pressure within the cell has decreased to the point where the cytoplasm of the cell membrane peels away from the cell wall. When this begins to happen it is called Incipient Plasmolysis and when the cytoplasm is almost completely gone it is call “full/complete” Plasmolysis. Plasmolysis is only possible if the cell is placed in a hypertonic solution‚ which is a solution where the water external to the cell has more solutes

under a membrane so it is not under pressure. The Water Potential (Ψ) of the solution is equal to the Ψ of the tuber as there is no pressure potential. C2 and C3 As the concentration of the sucrose solution increases‚ the average percentage change in mass decreases in the potato tubers and this is the same as in the carrot tubers. At low concentrations of sucrose solutions (0.1 M) the mass of the carrot and potato tubers increases due to water moving into the protoplast of the cell from the

List and briefly describe the kinds of homeostasis involved. In males and females‚ intracellular fluid has a greater proportion of total body water than does extracellular fluid. Give-and-take between the ICF and the ECF happens across plasma membranes by osmosis‚ diffusion‚ and carrier-mediated transport. The kinds of homeostasis involved are fluid Balance‚ electrolyte Balance‚ and Acid–Base Balance. Fluid balance is when the quantity of water we gain each day is equivalent to the amount we

Role of DISC1 and its interactions with Cofilin in pathways leading to Synaptic Plasticity Abstract Cofilin is an actin depolymerization factor responsible for severance of actin filaments in dendritic spines. Cofilin is activated upon de-phosphorylation via slingshot phosphatase (SSH) and deactivated when phosphorylated by LIM-kinase (LIMK). Phosphorylation of Cofilin results in polymerization of F-actin therefore formation of dendritic spines which is associated with LTP. Peptide drugs

Dissolution[edit] In the most common situation‚ a tablet is ingested and passes through the esophagus to the stomach. The rate of dissolution is a key target for controlling the duration of a drug’s effect‚ and as such‚ several dosage forms that contain the same active ingredient may be available‚ differing only in the rate of dissolution. If a drug is supplied in a form that is not readily dissolved‚ the drug may be released more gradually over time with a longer duration of action. Having a

and the inside of cells‚ for example. If the oncentration of an ion is too high outside a cell‚ water will br pulled out of the cell by osmosis in order to increase the water potential and thus retore balance. This is the case in ORT (oral rehydration therapy) which is used to treat diarrhea ocurring due to cholera for example. The ORT packs ontain salt and electrolytes which are transported into the epithelial cells after ingestion and thus lower the water potential of the cell by causing water to
