in order to study the cell transport mechanism via the cell’s selectively permeable membrane and passive processes of simple and facilitated diffusion. The plasma membrane is a gateway which allows nutrients to enter the cell and keep undesirable substances out‚ hence‚ making it selectively permeable. One method of transport is called active transport‚ which uses ATP to transport substances through the membrane. The other is called passive process‚ which does not require ATP energy and the transport

Investigating Effects of duration of heating on permeability of beetroot cell membrane Introduction: Cell membranes contain many different types of molecules which have different roles in the overall structure of the membrane. Phospholipids form a bilayer‚ which is the basic structure of the membrane. Their non-polar tails form a barrier to most water soluble substances. Membrane proteins serves as channels for transport of metabolites‚ some act as enzymes or carriers‚ while some are receptors

Introduction Medical textiles‚ also known as biomedical textiles‚ are textile products and constructions for medical and biological uses‚ e.g.‚ first aid‚ clinical‚ or hygienic purposes. (SASMIRA‚ 2007) The term medical textile literally means textile used for medical purposes. Textile apart from being a vital part human life is long since been used in medical field‚ though the term has been coined very recently. Textile materials have wide range properties such as flexibility‚ elasticity‚ strength

has more concentration of K+. The membrane is permeable to a particular ion‚ that ion will diffuse down its concentration gradient from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. 2. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative value. How well did the results compare with your prediction? Your answer: Because outside has more K+‚ the rate of diffusion is less. The resting membrane potential will become less negative

The first lab will investigate the movement of glucose and starch across a selectively permeable membrane through a process of diffusion. The movement of a solute through this membrane is called dialysis . Diffusion is a form of passive transport. It is the movement of molecules from areas of higher concentration to those of lower concentration‚ until there is an even concentration. This movement is random because it is a result of kinetic energy. Diffusion is a slow process‚ but there are many factors

Resting Membrane Potentials Dr Penny Murphy Objectives The student should be able to: Describe the basic building blocks of the central nervous system. Explain what a “resting membrane potential” (RMP) is and how it is generated. Include the characteristics of the phospholipid bilayer‚ leak membrane channels and the diffusion of K+ ions‚ and the role of the Na+/K+ ATPase pump. Explain how and why increasing the permeability of the membrane to Na+ ions will affect the membrane potential

few decades‚ membrane technology has been a great attention for gas separation technology especially for natural gas sweetening. The intrinsic character of membranes makes them fit for process escalation‚ and this versatility could be the significant factor to induce membrane technology in most gas separation areas. Membranes were synthesized with various materials which depended on the applications. The fabrication of polymeric membrane was one of the fastest growing fields of membrane technology
