diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane involves a special form of diffusion called osmosis. When the external and internal solute concentration are equal‚ there is no movement of water will be observed. This is described as isotonic. Osmosis does not occur in an isotonic solution‚ because the concentrations are equal on both sides of the membrane and there is no net movement of molecules from one side of the membrane to the other (Payne‚ 2007). A hypotonic solution is a

Transportation Overview Directions: Read page 362-374 and use your notes to help you answer the following questions. 1. Illustrate and describe the structure of the cell membrane using figure 2.8 on page 362. 2. What does selectively permeable mean (pg. 363)? A: Selectively permeable means that some substances can pass through the cell membrane while others cannot pass through. 3. What is diffusion and why does it occur? A: The movement of solutes in a solution from high to low concentrations. Diffusion

Aim: To study the agglutination pattern of different strains of Psuedomonas aeruginosa to different sialic acid-binding lectins. Absract: The cell membrane of two strains of Psuedomonas aeruginosa‚ P22 and P201 were treated the sialic acid lectins SNA I‚ WGA‚ MAL and HAA to confirm the presence of sialic acid carbohydrates in the cell surface membranes of these strains. This was done by using two sets of samples-one treated with trypsin and the other without. The sample treated with trypsin showed

Chapter 5 Membrane Structure and Function Winter wheat is planted in the early fall‚ grows over the winter when the weather is colder‚ and is harvested in the spring. As the temperature drops from fall to winter‚ the makeup of the plasma membrane of winter wheat changes. Unsaturated fatty acids replace saturated fatty acids in the phospholipids of the membrane. Why would colder weather select for the different lipid makeup in the plasma membrane? An abstract in the Canadian Journal of Botany

Biology Lab T 10:50 The Effects of Alcohol on the Cell Membrane Introduction To understand the effects of alcohol on cell membranes can help one understand more about the effects of alcohol on human cells that are contained in the digestive system and the blood stream. It is important to study this effect due to the fact that it can lead to the understanding of the dangers of alcohol‚ over consumption‚ and even possibly alcohol poisoning. Performing this lab enables the students to have a firsthand
