The solute potential is expressed in the formula P= – iCRT, where i = the ionization constant, C = the molar concentration , R = the pressure constant (R = 0.0831 liter * bars/mole * K), and T = the temperature in K (273 + °C). At atmospheric pressure and 25°C has an osmotic potential - A 0.15 M NaCl solution contains 2 ions, Na+ and Cl- (where sucrose stays as one particle); therefore i = 2, and the water potential = -7.4 bars.
Water will move into the cell by osmosis from 0.1 to 0.15.
Answer:
Sample Question: What is the effect of molecule size on a molecule's ability to diffuse across a semipermeable membrane?
-format: “What is the effect of X on Y?”
-independent variable: molecule size
-dependent variable: the ability to diffuse across a semipermeable membrane
Answer:
The correct representation is attached with the explanation.
Explanation:
In this representation of the surface tension, blue arrows between green water molecules are the possible molecules that can be used as the location for forming hydrogen bonds by a single molecule. Surface tension is the tendency of a liquid surface strectch to neighbouring molecules or ability to shrink in minimum surface area possible. Hydrogen bonds is an intermolecular force or interaction responsible for the surface are of liquide molecules. This bonds is towards every direction where the similar molecule present.
Answer:
The absorbance of 460nm light by the treatment solutions was the test performed by the student.
Explanation:
Cell membranes are phospholipid bilayers which are mostly displayed by the 'fluid mosaic model' which consists of proteins, carbohydrate polymers and glycoproteins making them able to move around quite freely amongst the phospholipids. A normal membrane permeability test involves investigating the effects of a named variable on the membrane permeability of any vegetable such as beetroot whose biological name is Beta Vulgaris. The variables to investigate are the influence of solvents and temperature because these factors can change the fluidity of the membrane. Beetroot is an important item for this test because of the distinctive betalains pigment that its stem tuber contains. These pigments form an important signal indicating membrane fluidity as they are usually contained in the vacuole of intact beetroot cells. An instant or constant increase in membrane fluidity will cause the pigment to spill out of the cell, and the amount of pigment can be measured simply by using a colorimeter.
The above description is performed under the test of The absorbance of 460nm light by the treatment solutions.
