Homeostasis

Homeostasis is a self-regulatory process through which different biological systems maintain constant internal environmental conditions to compensate for environmental changes. In human physiology, it is a process of self-regulating internal, chemical, and physical conditions at an optimal level for survival. The stability through homeostasis can be attained through dynamic equilibrium, in which there is a continuous change until it reaches its systemic conditions.

In which solution did potato cell intracellular fuild reach equilibruim with the solution?
Carrot slices placed in 0.2M salt solution for several hours becomes flaccid (limp). Carrot slices placed in freshwater for several hours becomes turgid (stiff). From this, we can deduce that the freshwater is hypertonic and the salt solution is hypotonic to the cells of the carrot slices. freshwater and salt solution are both hypotonic to the cells of the carrot slices. freshwater is isotonic and the salt solution is hypertonic to the cells of the carrot slices. freshwater is hypotonic and the salt solution is hypertonic to the cells of the carrot slices. freshwater and the salt solution are both hypertonic to the cells of the carrot slices.
Carrot sticks that are immersed in fresh water for several hours become stiff. Similar carrot sticks left in a salt solution become limp. From this we can deduce that the cytoplasm of the cells of the carrot stick is: Isotonic with the fresh water but hypotonic to the salt solution Hypotonic to both the fresh water and the salt solution Hypertonic to both the fresh water and the salt solution Hypertonic to the fresh water, but hypotonic to the salt solution Hypotonic to the fresh water, but hypertonic to the salt solution
What is the dependent variable of the experiment?
In the potato osmosis lab experiment what is the point of having multiple potatoes soaking at each concentration.
Suppose you have a cell from a freshwater fish that is isotonic with its surrounding environment, with a K+ concentration inside the cell of 0.05M. You then immerse this cell in saltwater where the K+ concentration is 0.25M. What would you predict will happen to the cell? a)Water will move into the cell, and the cell will swell and burst b)Water will move out of the cell, and the cell will shrink c)Water will move in and out of the cell with no net change in concentration, and the cell will remain the same size d)The cell wall will prevent the cell from changing size
A plant cell that displays a plasmolysis shape must be in which of the following solutions? hypertonic solution distilled water isotonic solution fresh water hypotonic solution
Why is it advantageous for the cell membrane to be fluid in nature?
When transpeptidation is inhibited by beta-lactam antibiotics, bacteria can still synthesize components of the cell wall, but they will fail to maintain structural integrity under osmotic pressure. True or False?
How come c) is the answer? Wouldn't the fresh water be a hypertonic solution because it would allow water to osmose out of the celery stalk and would make it 'harder' as there is less water?
at approximately what concentration is potato cytoplasm and the sucrose solution isotonic? Explain
A cell containing 2% sucrose solution is placed in a hypertonic solution. A.) In one statement maximum, explain what a hypertonic solution is in reference to solute concentration. B.) In one statement, predict the direction of osmosis ( movement of water) C.) In one statement, predict the resulting change in the cell's shape.
