- Test Your Understanding 10.INTERPRET DATA GLUT 4 is a glucose transporter that functions in adipose (fat) cell plasma membranes. An analysis of adipose cells exposed to insulin showed that a single cell could import glucose at a maximum rate of about 1108 molecules/second. Under the same conditions, unstimulated cells could only transport a maximum of about 1107 molecules/second. What does this finding tell you about the relative number of GLUT 4 transporters functioning in the plasma membranes of stimulated versus unstimulated cells?arrow_forwardWHAT IF? Kidney failure is often treated by hemodialysis, in which blood diverted out of the body is filteredand then allowed to flow on one side of a semipermeablemembrane.

- Some animals are osmoconformers, meaning that they maintain the tonicity/osmolarity of their body fluids equal to that of the external environment. Hydroids, a type of cnidarian, are osmoconformers. But they don't move and thus are adapted to the environment they live in. A) What would happen if you take a marine hydroid and transfer it into a freshwater aquarium? B) What would happen if you take a freshwater hydroid and transfer it into a saltwater aquarium? C) Sharks are extraordinary osmoconformers. Bull sharks store urea in their tissues and use it to match the tonicity of their tissues to that of the surrounding environment. Some sharks can move from saltwater to freshwater, hypothesize what changes will sharks do in order to adjust when moving from saltwater to freshwater and vice versa. Explain your answer in terms of tonicity and specify the direction of water movement and urea concentration.arrow_forwardUnlike bony fish in the sea, cartilaginous fish are hypertonic in their osmotic pressure. Thus: O a. They have high levels of sodium chloride in their cells compared with a bony fish. O b. They produce very little urine. Oc. They have high levels of urea in their blood. O d. Osmoregulation requires a greater expenditure in energy compared with a bony fish. O e. They need much larger salt glands than in a bony fish.arrow_forwardPls help ASAParrow_forward
- Introduction to Science EXERCISE 1: DATA INTERPRETATION Dissolved oxygen is oxygen that is trapped in a fluid. Since many living organisms require oxygen to survive, it is a necessary component of water systems (streams, lakes, rivers, etc.). Dissolved oxygen is measured in units of parts per million (ppm). Examine the data in Table 4, which shows the amount of dissolved oxygen present in a body of water and the number of fish observed in the sample. Then, answer the questions below. Table 4: Water Quality vs. Fish Population Dissolved Oxygen (ppm) 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 Number of Fish Observed 0 1 3 102 13 15 10 12 13 1. What patterns do you observe based on the information in Table 4? The more dissolved oxygen in the water the higher the & fish population 2.
