What happens when a cell is placed in an isotonic solution?
The concentration of materials inside the cell becomes greater than the concentration of materials outside the cell.
The concentration of materials outside the cell becomes greater than the concentration of materials inside the cell.
The concentration of materials inside and outside the cell becomes equal.
The concentration of materials cannot be changed because ATP is no longer available.
Which is the hypertonic solution?
The concentration of materials inside the cell is greater than the concentration of materials outside the cell.
The concentration of materials outside the cell is greater than the concentration of materials inside the cell.
The concentration of materials inside and outside the cell is equal.
Which is the hypotonic solution?
The concentration of materials inside the cell is greater than the concentration of materials outside the cell.
The concentration of materials outside the cell is greater than the concentration of materials inside the cell.
The concentration of materials inside and outside the cell is equal.
In an nerve cell, the carrier proteins become mutated, unable to bind sodium or potassium. If all of the carrier proteins are mutated, is there another way for sodium and potassium to move into and out of the cell?
Yes, through simple diffusion when the concentration outside the cell increases enough.
Yes, through osmosis when there is enough water in the cell.
No, Na/K requires a carrier protein to cross the membrane.
No, Na/Kcan be made inside the cell and will not need to enter.
Uh oh, something is happening to all the proteins in the cell! Water can no longer move through it's normal route. Where is the LAST place water will be found (aka NEVER found)?
Phospholipid bilayer because the tails are hydrophobic
Phospholipid bilayer because the tails are hyrophilic
Channel proteins because water cannot move through there
Transmembrane proteins because water cannot move through there
