List the following values from Chart 1: Hematocrit value for healthy male living at sea level in Boston 48 Hematocrit value for healthy female living at sea level in Boston 44 2. Were the values listed in question 1 within normal range? Yes 3. Describe the difference between the male and the female hematocrit for an individual living in Boston. The secretion of erythropoetin from the kidneys stimulates testosterone in males. Erythropoetin makes

ACTIVITY 1: THE RESTING MEMBRANE POTENTIAL 1. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ reduces the net diffusion of K+ out the neuron through the K+ leak channels? When the diffusion is greater on one side‚ the other side will slow down. 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 predictions? There are two potassium’s for every sodium so the increase of potassium will make it more

equilibrium change with the number of carriers used to “build” the membranes? The molecules have to rely on carrier porteins which varies in number due to the available membrane transport. 2. Does the diffusion rate of Na+/Cl- change with the number of receptors? yes 3. What is the mechanism of the Na+/Cl- transport? 4. If you put the same amount of glucose in the right beaker as in the left‚ would you be able to observe any diffusion? No 5. Does being unable to observe diffusion necessarily

Transport Systems Essay In single celled organisms‚ nutrients‚ water and various substances that are need for basic cellular processes can easily be transported in and out through the cell membrane. This is an effective transport system for microscopic organisms‚ but multicellular organisms require a more complex transport system to sustain itself. Take humans for example; unlike a cell‚ only the outer layer of skin is in contact with the body’s outside environment. It’s not possible for substances

Water Transport The movement of plants from water to land has necessitated the development of internal mechanisms to supply all the parts of the plant with water. As discussed in Plant Classification‚ Vasular Tissues ‚ tracheophytes (including virtually all terrestrial plants except for mosses and liverworts)‚ have developed complex vascular systems that move nutrients and water throughout the plant body through "tubes" of conductive cells. The vascular tissues of these plants are called xylem
