The passive movement of a solute through a membrane protein down its concentration gradient is an example of _________. a. osmosis b. active transport c. endocytosis d. diffusion
Solutes tend to diffuse from a region where they are _______ more/less concentrated to an adjacent region where they are ________ more/less concentrated.
A phospholipid bilayer separates two chambers. The chambers both contain the same volume of water. The left chamber contains 150 mM of an unknown solute A. Solute B is dissolved in the right chamber also at a concentration of 150 mM. Therefore, the initial osmolarity is the same (isotonic) between the two chambers. However, after a short time, the volume increases substantially in the right chamber. What is the most likely ranking of permeability for the molecules to cause this change? (greater permeability means that the molecule moves first across the membrane)
Reaching osmotic balance across a semipermeable membrane for non-charged molecules depends on: Relative solute concentration gradient across the membrane Relative electrical gradient across the membrane Relative solute concentration and electrical gradient across the membrane
How is osmosis different from simple diffusion? osmosis involves the movement of water, simple diffusion involves the movement of solutes simple diffusion utilizes energy in the form of a solute concentration gradient, osmosis utilizes energy in the form of ATP Osimple diffusion moves solutes with their concentration gradient, osmosis moves solutes against their concentration gradient osmosis is a form of active transport, simple diffusion is a form of passive transport Det betalen տներն ոգու
follows the passive movement of water when a selective permeable barrier is in play. O osmosis diffusion O fermenation O respiration
The distribution of water is determined by solute concentrations. A hypertonic solution would cause a body cell to shrink in size
Given a selectively permeable membrane that is permeableto water but not to a particular solute and given that thereare different solute concentrations on the two sides of themembrane, show the direction of water movement and labelthe side with the higher osmotic pressure.
Which term is more useful in understanding osmosis in animal tissue? Hypotonic or hyposotomic I know that these are the definations but I can't figure out which one is more useful in the above equation hypotonic: water enters thecell to reach equilibriumhyposmotic: lower osmotic pressure than other solution so water leaves osmosis because it is about water movement and how it moves to the more concentrated solution
When two chambers are separated by a membrane permeable to water but not solute, if water is free to move in either direction without limitation or pressure, then water will move until the concentration of solute on both sides of the chamber is equal move until there is no water on the dilute side move until there is no water on the concentrated side move until the concentration of water on both sides of the chamber is equal
When a person becomes dehydrated the amount of water in extracellular fluids such as blood decreases, causing the solute concentration of these fluids to increase. State weather osmosis results in water entering or leaving cells.
The movement of water is called osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water, and it too moves to reach equilibrium. The relationship between solute concentration and water are opposite. An area with high concentration of solute has less water "concentration", and an area of low solute concentration has a higher water "concentration". Select the options that describe the movement of water if there is a gradient across a membrane. Hint: There are two correct answers. One with the solute perspective and one with a water perspective. Select all that apply: Water moves from an area of high solute concentration to an area of low solute concentration. Water moves from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. Water moves from an area of high water "concentration" to an area of low water "concentration". Water moves from an area of low water "concentration" to an area of high water "concentration".
