    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

    Aim How temperature affects membranes: investigating the effect temperature has on Beta vulgaris membranes when submerged in a range of different temperatures for one minute. Background Information A cell membrane is made up of a phospholipid bilayer formed by phospholipids that have a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail. The phospholipids arrange themselves in order that the heads are exposed to water and the tails are not thus forming the bilayer. When the temperature increases molecules

    Diffusion across a Selectively Permeable membrane Introduction: Diffusion is movement of molecules from one area of concentration to another. This process is vital for the life functions of cells. Cells have selectively permeable membranes that allow only certain solutions to pass through them. Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion that allows water to go through semi-permeable membranes of high water potential to a region of lower water potential. Water potential measures the tendency of water to

    Lab report OSMOSIS TROUGH A SELECTIVELY PERMEABLE MEMBRANE Introduction: Molecules have kinetic energy.  This causes the molecules of the cell to move around and bump into each other. Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion where water moves through a selectively permeable membrane (a membrane that only allows certain molecules to diffuse though).  Diffusion or osmosis occurs until dynamic equilibrium has been reached.  This is the point where the concentrations in both areas are equal and no

    Potential Energy Potential Energy is a type of energy that does not involve motion. It is the energy that is stored up. The more work done to change an object’s position or shape‚ the more potential energy it has. For example‚ a person on a ladder has more potential energy than a person on the ground because they have done more work to get up there. Kinetic Energy Kinetic Energy is the energy of motion. The more work an object has done‚ the more kinetic energy it has. the amount of kinetic

    RESTING POTENTIAL Resting potential is the membrane potential when a neuron is not conducting any electrical impulse or signal. The resting potential is around -75 mV. During resting potential‚ the inside of the axon is negative GRADED POTENTIAL ACTION POTENTIAL Action potential is a fleeting reversal of the membrane potential‚ caused by changes in permeability of the plasma membrane of neuron to potassium and sodium ions causing an electrical impulse to be transmitted along the axon.
