(a)
Interpretation:
Whether blood pressure or osmotic pressure possesses the highest influence on the fluid movement direction through capillary walls at the venous end of a capillary is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The process of movement of solvent through semipermeable membrane is known as osmosis. The pressure applied to prevent the flow of the solvent molecules through semipermeable membrane is known as osmotic pressure.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether blood pressure or osmotic pressure possesses the highest influence on the fluid movement direction through capillary walls at the arterial end of a capillary is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The process of movement of solvent through semipermeable membrane is known as osmosis. The pressure applied to prevent the flow of the solvent molecules through semipermeable membrane is known as osmotic pressure.

- Accumulation of cholesterol leads to the hardening of the arteries. This is called: a.vasoconstriction. b.venipuncture. c.atherosclerosis. d.hypertension.arrow_forwardHow does the polarity of the phosphoglycerides contribute to their function of forming cell membranes?arrow_forwardHow are phospholipids similar in structure to a soap molecule? What structural difference accounts for the fact that phospholipids form lipid bilayers rather than the micelles that soaps form?arrow_forward
- Starch contains CC, CH, CO, and OH bonds. Hydrocarbons have only CC and CH bonds. Both starch and hydrocarbons can form colloidal dispersions in water. Which dispersion is classified as hydrophobic? Which is hydrophilic? Explain briefly.arrow_forwardGiven that blood cell membranes are known to be permeable to water, indicate whether the statement below is true or false: If the osmotic pressure of blood plasma (outside the cell) is greater than the osmotic pressure of the inside of a blood cell, then the volume of the red blood cell would decrease. True Falsearrow_forwardWhat is osmotic pressure?arrow_forward
- What are the major cations found in interstitial fluid?arrow_forwardDescribe the process of Osmotic Pressure?arrow_forwardConsider water and glycerol, CH21OH2CH1OH2CH2OH. (a) Would you expect them to be miscible in all proportions? (b) List the intermolecular attractions that occur between a water molecule and a glycerol moleculearrow_forward
- Describe what happens during salting-out process in terms of the forces of attraction involved as sodium chloride is added into the water-essential oil mixture.arrow_forwardThe steroid lipid cholesterol is a component of membranes. Identify true statements about cholesterol and its role in membrane fluidity. (mark all that apply) O Cholesterol increases membrane fluidity in a membrane that otherwise contains mostly long-chain saturated fatty acids cholesterol stiffens, decreases membrane fluidity, for membranes in the more fluid, liquid crystal state O the entire cholesterol lipid is buried deep in the middle of the lipid bilayer, disrupting the regularity of its structure. O cholesterol fits awkwardly within the lipid bilayer, increasing its melting temperature O cholesterol disrupts the regularity of the membrane structure without affecting the Tmarrow_forward
