Make the assumption that a cell has a 10% salt concentration inside its cytoplasm. What factors do you think would influence the rate of osmosis?
Homework Answers
Factors which influence rate of osmosis are :-
- Concentration gradient:-greater the difference between the concentration,faster the osmosis
- Mass of molecules diffusing:-higher the mass,slower is the rate of osmosis
- Temperature:-higher the temperature,-greater the rate of osmosis
- Solvent density:-as density increases, rate of diffusion decreases
- Solubility:-non polar molecules move more easily than polar molecules
- Surface area:-increased surface area increases the rate of osmosis
- Presence of light:-brighter light increases the rate of osmosis
- Distance travelled:-greater the distance travelled,slower the rate of osmosis

2. (10 points) An aquarium has a 1000 L tank containing 400 L of salt water with a concentra- tion of 210 grams per liter. A salt water solution with a concentration of 470 grams per liter is pumped into the tank at a rate of 5 liters per minute. The well-mixed solution is drained from the tank at a rate of 3 liters per minute. Additionally, the tank is uncovered, so fresh water evaporates from the tank at a...

1. Cholera is a disease that changes the tonicity (water/salt concentration) within the intestines and leads to excessive diarrhea and dehydration and often death in those affected by it. Based on your knowledge of osmosis and water movement, explain what you think the cholera bacteria does to the cells and digestive cavity of people that are infected. Secondly, explain whether you believe that large amount of water or large amounts of an electrolyte drink such as gatorade would be the...

At 37 °C the concentration of Fe3+ inside a cell is 0.099 M and outside is 0.014 M. The cell membrane is permeable to Fe3+. What potential difference in volts would have to exist across the membrane for Fe3+ to be in equilibrium at the stated conditions? Give you answer as the absolute value of the potential difference in volts.

Your lab partner has made three solutions with concentration of salt at 10%, 0.9% and 0.001% but forgot to label the vials. You need to use these solutions but have no idea which vial is which. You label them A, B, and C. You have sheep's blood and a microscope available to you. Also, you remember from your Biol 105 lab that the salt concentration in the sheep's blood is 0.9%. Please describe how you would determine which solution is...

a) A cell requires the ability to sense and respond to its environment on a transcriptional level. List a mechanism as to how this might be achieved and an example process where this would be important? b) Proteases are enzymes that degrade other proteins. Many proteases inside the cell are in the lysosome. Why do you think this is so and what properties, if any, of the lysosome contribute to regulation of protease activity inside the cell?
