Concept explainers

Osmosis

In simple words, osmosis is the slow, gradual movement of a liquid through a membrane. But there are nuances to this process. For instance, there has to be an imbalance in the distribution of solute in the liquid on either side of the membrane, which has to be semipermeable. The liquid in the region with a lower solute concentration moves to the region with a higher concentration, thereby displacing the solution in the process. The objective is to equalize the concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane; the displacement of liquid can be viewed as a byproduct of this equalization. Since there is no energy required to carry osmosis, it is considered a passive process.

Make drawings of the Amoeba you observe, and label its structures. C O O liko mer 0 AS 6 0 O Paramecium -- Paramecia are quite large, straw-colored, slipper-shaped and move rapidly, and they are thus very noticeable. If there are Paramecia in your field of view you probably will recognize them immediately. Often, however, students do have difficulty both finding a Paramecium, and after they have found one, making it move slowly enough so they can study it at high magnification. The trick to finding a Paramecium is to scan the entire slide quickly using the scanning lens. Then, if you do not find one, make a new slide and search again. Often, Paramecia tend to move to the edges of the coverslip, and even "escape" the coverslip at its edges. The trick to slowing the Paramecia is to mix a drop of methyl cellulose with a drop of the cell culture, as…

I have a pet amoeba. It's name is Stretch. I look at stretch every day with my microscope, feed it, play with it, etc., like any good pet owner would. But one day, I notice that Stretch is really stretching out! And a few minutes later, Stretch has turned into two. Amoebas reproduce through mitosis, where they replicate all of their internal biology, then split themselves into two, each new cell carrying everything it needs to survive. Which one is Stretch? Both? How can that be, since things are only identical to themselves? We wouldn't call identical twins the same person, even though they are very similar to one another. Are neither Stretch? One but not the other? How would we determine that? Explain whatever it is that you think is true, and back it up with some reasoning. Be sure your response is at least 300 words.
