    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

    Diffusion across Biological Membranes: A simulation Introduction Diffusion is the process by which collisions between molecules cause to spread apart. This movement is described as movement from an area of greater concentration to an area of lower concentration. Hence‚ diffusion continues until the molecules are equally distributed. This is to ensure that molecules have reached a state of equilibrium. Diffusion occurs spontaneously‚ no energy is involved. In cells‚ Diffusion occurs through

    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

    3. Explain the similarities and differences between diffusion and osmosis. Both are the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. But osmosis is the movement of water through a cell membrane. 4. Define Turgor pressure ( also known as osmotic pressure). The pressure that would have to be applied to a pure solvent to prevent it from passing into a given solution by osmosis‚ often used to express the concentration of the solution 5. What
