After sweating through a long marathon, a runner decides to replenish their body fluids by drinking an amount of pure water that is equal to the volume of lost bodily fluids. Which of the following describes the most likely impact on the cells in the body of the run- ner as a result of this action? A B C D The cells will swell because they will become hypertonic relative to their normal solute concentration. The cells will shrivel up because they will become hypotonic relative to their normal solute concentration. The cells will swell because they will become hypotonic relative to their normal solute concentration. The cells will shrivel up because they will become hypertonic relative to their normal solute concentration.

Severe vomiting and diarrhea cause a loss of water and solutes from extracellular fluids. If the person was given only water, what effect would this have on the solute concentration of the extracellular fluids? Would osmosis results in water entering or leaving cells?
describe the following body transports systems: Active (Primary) Passive (diffusion- simple, faciliated) Hydrostatic forces Osmotic forces osmosis
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 whether osmosis results in water entering or leaving cells.
In osmosis, due to solute concentration differences, the solute will move from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. True or False
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
Compare and contrast the following terms: Osmosis and diffusion
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.

If the solute concentration is greater inside the cell than outside the cell, water will move by osmosis Into the cell Out of the cell In equal amount, into and out of the cell which is correct?
Left Compartment Right Compartment 7 grams of Z per liter solution 4 grams of XY per liter of solution total volume = 1 liter total volume = 1 liter Solute Z has a molecular weight of 20 (non-dissociable) Solute XY has a molecular weight of 10 (dissociates into X+ and Y-) If X+ and Y- are ions, which are permeable through the membrane, and Z is not, what will happen and why?
A student designed an experiment to test whether different concentration gradients affect the rate of diffusion through dialysis tubing. Four different solutions (0% NaCl, 1% NaCl, 5% NaCl, and 10% NaCl) were tested under identical conditions. Twenty mL of each solution was placed into separate dialysis tubing that is permeable to Na+, Cl-, and water. Each bag was placed in a separate beaker and covered with distilled water. The concentration of NaCl in the water outside of each bag was measured at 40-second intervals. The graph below shows the results from the 5% bag: Concentration of NaCl Outside of Dialysis Bags Concentration of NaCl (mg/L) 400 320 240 160 80 0 40 80 Time(seconds) 120 5% Solution 160 a. Describe the process of diffusion through the dialysis tubing. b. If you were to design a different experiment testing rates of diffusion, identify experimental procedures. c. Analyze that data in the graph and describe the results. Provide reasoning to justify your answer. d.…
