In the following diagram, identify the type of solution (hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic) in which each red blood cell is immersed.
Soft contact lenses are made from hydrogels, which make them soft and flexible. It is important to
clean them daily using a sterile, isotonic cleaning solution. The concentration of solutes in the
cleaning solution is the same as the concentration of the hydrogel in the contact lens. What would
happen if instead of an isotonic cleaning solution, soft contact lenses are cleaned with water?
(A) The soft contact lenses will shrink because it will remove too much water by osmosis.
B The soft contact lenses will shrink because too much water is absorbed by osmosis.
The soft contact lenses will swell and change shape because too much water is absorbed
by osmosis.
The soft contact lenses will swell and change shape because too much water is removed by

- If a doctor injected a patient with what was labeled as an isotonic saline solution, but then the patient died, and an autopsy revealed that several of the patient's red blood cells had burst, such as in the image on the right, would it be true that the injected solution was really isotonic? Why or why not?arrow_forwardA red blood cell with an intracellular fluid (ICF) concentration of 280 mmol/L, is placed into an environment were the concentration of the extracellular fluid (ECF) is 305 mmol/L. As a result, water will move across the cell/plasma membrane. a) Name the process by which water moves b) Describe the overall direction of movement of the water. Answer choices: (i) From outside the cell to inside the cell (ii) From inside the cell to outside the cell, or (iii) Equally, into and out of the cell iii Explain your reasoning for your answer to part (c). 1In your answer you must describe the environment on both sides of the membrane, and use 3 of the following 4 terms correctly; hypertonic, hypotonic, lower solute concentration, higher solute concentrationn (2pts -Correct use of biological terminology, and correct spelling is essential.

Substances available which are permeable to the DM include 0.02 M NaCl, 0.03 M glucose, and 0.01 M glucose. The only substance available which is completely impermeable to the DM is the 0.01 M lactose. Using the substances given and materials such as a beaker, stirring rod, and string, draw ONLY ONE set-up that can be demonstrated by Ms. Sassa that will satisfy ALL of the following conditions: a. No solute will exhibit a net diffusion out of the cell. b. Glucose will exhibit a net diffusion into the cell. c. NaCl will exhibit a zero net movement. d. No net movement of lactose from the inside to outside of the cell. Make sure to label properly the substance inside the beaker and inside the DM bag.arrow_forward
- Your friend notes that Gatorade has electrolytes like sodium and potassium chloride. He figures that if a few electrolytes are good for you, then a lot must be even better. Following this logic, he adds nearly a tablespoonful of salt to his Gatorade. What kind of solution is his Gatorade now (hypotonic, isotonic, or hypertonic)? What will likely happen to his cells if he drinks this liquid?arrow_forwardPractitioners of naturopathic medicine often use “essential oils” such as lavender oil. (Note that essential refers to their essence or scent and does not imply that these substances are necessary for health.) One of the components of lavender oil is shown below. Based on its structure, could this molecule diffuse through the cell membrane of a skin cell after the oil was applied to the skin surface?arrow_forwardYou have two types of cells (animal cells and plant cells) that you will place in a variety of conditions.

- For a lab on diffusion and osmosis, where a egg yolk was placed in a cup water the following question asks Consider a scenario in which the size of an egg yolk remains unchanged after in water soaking for an hour. What are two possible explanations as to why this occurs? What would two reasons be for the yolk to be unchanged after a hour in water?arrow_forwardIf two solutions separated by a semi-permeable membrane are isotonic, can you conclude that they are in chemical equilibrium?arrow_forwardA student designed an experiment to test whether different concentration gradients affect the rate of diffusion through dialysis tubing. Four different solutions (0% NaCl, 1% NaCl, 5% NaCl, and 10% NaCl) were tested under identical conditions. Twenty mL of each solution was placed into separate dialysis tubing that is permeable to Na+, Cl-, and water. Each bag was placed in a separate beaker and covered with distilled water. The concentration of NaCl in the water outside of each bag was measured at 40-second intervals. The graph below shows the results from the 5% bag: Concentration of NaCl Outside of Dialysis Bags Concentration of NaCl (mg/L) 400 320 240 160 80 0 40 80 Time(seconds) 120 5% Solution 160 a.

- The solutions in the two arms of the U-tube are separated by a membrane that is permeable to water and glucose but not to sucrose. Side A is filled with a solution of 2.0 M sucrose and 1.0 M glucose. Side B is filled with 1.0 M sucrose and 2.0 M glucose. Initially, the solution in side A, with respect to that in side B, is what? After the system reaches equilibrium, what changes are observed?arrow_forwardA patient has had a serious accident and lost a lot of blood. In an attempt to replenish body fluids, a large amount of distilled water was transferred directly into one of his veins. What will be the most probable result of this transfusion? It will have serious, perhaps fatal, consequences because the red blood cells will be hypertonic relative to the body fluids and the cells will burst. It will have serious, perhaps fatal, consequences because the red blood cells will be hypotonic relative to the body fluids and the cells will shrivel. It will have no unfavorable effect as long as the water is free of viruses and bacteria. It will have no serious effect because the kidneys would quickly eliminate the excess water. It will have serious, perhaps fatal, consequences because there will be too much fluid for the heart to pump.arrow_forwardIn the diagram below, which situation is when the red blood cell is exposed to hypertonic solution? What is happening to the red blood cells in that situation? (a) (b) (c) O c: hemolysis O c; crenation a; hemolysis O a; crenationarrow_forward
