    Lesson1- Laws of Thermodynamics Annette Tyler Laws of Thermodynamics Thermodynamics is the study of energy‚ the conversion of energy to various forms and the ability of energy to do work. The term ‘Thermodynamics’ originate from two root words ‘thermo’ which means heat and ‘dynamic’ which means power. The laws of thermodynamics are absolute and the observable universe obeys the Laws of Thermodynamics. The First Law of Thermodynamics is commonly known as the Law of Conservation of Matter

    Transport Across The Plasma Membrane Intracellular Fluid (ICF) – The two thirds of your body fluid contained inside body cells. (Intra = within). The cytosol of the cell. Extracellular Fluid (ECF) – Fluid outside the body cells. (extra = outside). Interstitial Fluid – The ECF in tiny spaces between cells (inter = between). Plasma- the ECF in blood vessels. Lymph- The ECF in lymphatic vessels. Solute – Any material dissolved in fluid. Solvent- The fluid a Solute is dissolved in. Concentration

    Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to test the effects of osmosis on eggs in hypertonic solutions and hypotonic solutions. Hypothesis: If the corn syrup is a hypertonic solution‚ then the egg’s size will shrink. If the water is a hypotonic solution‚ then the egg will swell. Materials: Styrofoam cups (2 per group) Styrofoam cups to weigh down egg (2) Balance Paper towels Vinegar (enough to cover egg) Distilled water Corn syrup Fresh eggs (2 per group) Procedure: Day

    Diffusion through a Membrane Introduction Molecules are constantly moving. They move in straight lines unless they are deflected by other molecules or obstacles in their environment. Diffusion is the process by which the collisions between molecules cause them to continually spread apart from each other. Their movement can be described as movement from an area of greater concentration to an area of lower concentration. Diffusion continues until the molecules are equally distributed

    Energy that is unorganized and do little work. How does entropy relate to the continual energy needs of organisms Entropy represents the disorder of a system which allows the organisms to gain little energy to build and complete their purpose or objective. Distinguish between organic and inorganic compounds Organic compounds contain carbon while inorganic compounds simply do not contain any carbon atoms. Compare the first and second laws of thermodynamics 1st= Matter cannot be created

    The Lipid Barrier of the Cell Membrane‚ and Cell Membrane Transport Proteins The structure of the membrane covering the outside of every cell of the body is discussed in Chapter 2 and illustrated in Figures 2–3 and 4–2.This membrane consists almost entirely of a lipid bilayer‚ but it also contains large numbers of protein molecules in the lipid‚ many of which penetrate all the way through the membrane‚ as shown in Figure 4–2. The lipid bilayer is not miscible with either the extracellular

    Title: Diffusion throughout the membranes Lab Partner(s): Alexis Clouting Date: 2/15/15 Abstract: In the content of the Module 2 we learned about Diffusion across cell membranes. We touched on the different types of cells and their functions. How things are transported in and out of cells. Learning about isotonic‚ hypertonic and even hypotonic solution. This is not my first time touching on this subject in my nursing career and I learned a way to remember what happens in the different solutions

    TRANSPORT ACROSS MEMBRANE  define diffusion and describe its role in nutrient uptake and gaseous exchange in plants and humans  define osmosis and describe the effects of osmosis on plant and animal tissues  define active transport and discuss its importance as an energy-consuming process by which substances are transported against a concentration gradient‚ as in ion uptake by root hairs and uptake of glucose by cells in the villi . A cell is surrounded by a layer of cell surface membrane. This phospholipid
