Students have asked these similar questions
A blood cell with a 2% internal solute concentration is placed in a solution that has a 0.2% solute concentration. The solute is impermeable to the plasma membrane.
How would you classify the solution compared to the cell – hypotonic, hypertonic or isotonic? Why? (2 pts.)
B) Will the solutes move across the membrane? Why or why not?
C) What type of transport would occur in this situation – diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, active transport or bulk transport. Explain.
D) What would happen if the cell began to produce a new membrane protein that allowed the solutes to freely move in across the membrane? ould this change your answer to Part C? Explain.
Which process—diffusion, osmosis, or filtration—is utilized in the following situations? a. Injection of a drug that is hypertonic to the tissues stimulates pain. b. The urea concentration in the dialyzing fluid of an artificial kidney is decreased.
The intracellular salt content of a red blood cell is about 150 mM. The cell is put in a 500 mM salt beaker. (a) Describe what will happen to the cell in terms of osmosis if the cell membrane is permeable to water but not to ions. (b) Which direction would solutes diff use if the membrane was permeable to ions: into or out of the cell?

- One system consists of a permeable membrane with an intracellular concentration greater than the extracellular concentration. A second system is a semi-permeable membrane with intracellular concentration less than the extracellular concentration. Describe the solution type for each system. Group of answer choices The permeable membrane is hypotonic, the semi-permeable membrane is isotonic. Both systems are isotonic. The permeable membrane is isotonic, the semi-permeable membrane is hypertonic. The permeable membrane is isotonic, the semi-permeable membrane is hypotonic.
