Question
- An animal cell has an internal concentration of 0.1M of NaCl. You place this cell into a solution with 5M NaCl. Select the true statement below.
- The solution is hypotonic to the cell therefore the cell will lyse
- The solution is hypotonic to the cell therefore the cell will shrivel
- The solution is hypertonic to the cell therefore water will lyse
- The solution is hypertonic to the cell therefore water will shrivel

- 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 ոգուarrow_forwardThe cell membrane is permeable to water but not to ions. Select all that apply. Question options: Beaker A is isotonic to the cell. Some water in cell A is moving in and out of the cell. There is a net movement of water into Cell B. Beaker C is hypotonic to Cell C.arrow_forwardConsider the artificial cell experiment below: Lactose = 2.0 M Ca+ = 0.4 M The ion channels in the membrane will allow Ca+ to pass freely, but nothing else. The starting conditions for the experiment are shown. Lactose = 0.1 M Ca+ = 3.0 M Rewrite the following statement to make it correct: "Eventually, there will be a net movement of water out of the cell because the inside of the cell is hypotonic compared to the environment."

- The beaker is divided into two compartments (C and D) that has equal volumes of solution separated by an artificial membrane that has a pore size of 23 Å (Angstrom). Explain the movement of solute after eight hours if comparment C has 17 % sucrose while the compartment D has 2 % sucrose (diameter of sucrose molecule = 9 Å (Angstrom))arrow_forwardCells are placed in a beaker of water. The concentration of glucose outside of the cells is 3 mg/ml. The concentration of glucose inside of the cells is 33 mg/ml.
