The phenomenon of osmosis compels the introduction of adjectives to describe the relative concentration of solutions. As touched on above, a substance that is less concentrated than a reference solution is called hypotonic ("hypo'" is Greek for "under" or "deficiency"). When the two solutions h...
Why animal cells prefer isotonic solutions to hypotonic solutions? What concentration of salt is isotonic to animal cells? Define osmosis, and distinguish among isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic solutions. Describe what happens to a cell placed in: A. Isotonic solution B. Hypotonic solution C....
What is the driving force for a concentration cell to produce a voltage? Is the higher or the lower ion concentration solution present at the anode? In comparing normal blood concentrations, is the solution 0.01% (m/v) NaCl isotonic, hypertonic, or hypotonic?
shape or volume, with damage to their membrane ultimately leading to hemolysis. Hemolysis can be followed spectrophotometrically and provides valuable information about the type and extent of membrane damage. We investigated hemolysis of erythrocytes induced by various saponin concentrations in hypotonic, ...
to attempt to make the concentration of the interior and exterior solutions the same. Incidentally, since hypotonic solutions can cause cells to burst, this is one reason why a person is more likely todrownin fresh water than in salt water. It's also a problem if you drink too much water...
fever ≥40.5°C (≥105°F), hypotonic-hyporesponsive episode (HHE) or persistent, inconsolable crying lasting ≥3 hours within 48 hours after a previous pertussis-containing vaccine. (5.2) - seizures within 3 days after a previous pertussis-containing vaccine. (5.2) If Guillain-Barré syndrome ...
All procedures were performed using pre-chilled equipment and solutions [29]. Cells were plated in ten 100-mm dishes, rinsed in cold PBS, scraped, and resuspended in 2 ml hypotonic lysis medium (HLM) with sucrose-HEPES-EGTA buffer. The preparation was then homogenized mechanically with 9 st...
Cells were treated with hypotonic solution (85.5 mM NaCl, 5 mM MgCl2, pH 7) for 10 min followed by fixing solution (4% Paraformaldehyde, 10% SDS in PBS) for 10 min. Cells were incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary antibodies: γH2AX (1:500, Millipore JBW301), RAD...
Schmidt-Nielsen ascribed the high concentration of NaCl in the fluid from the storm petrel to the latter's diet of zooplankton which is iso-osmotic with seawater. The small glandula nasalis of D. irrorata may reflect a low-salt diet, perhaps of fish, hypotonic in respect of seawater, as ...
You want to make 52 mL of a solution with a final concentration of 388 mg/mL. How much solute (g) will you need? When comparing two solutions, the solution with the greater concentration of solutes is called? In which of the following is solution X hypotonic relative to solution Y?...
