lab test 1 ch 2 Flashcards
How much of the human organism is made up of water?
60%
Solution, solvent, and solvent
solvent= liquid
solute
What are the two major fluid compartments in the body and there division and percentage of bw?
- ic and ec fluids make up 60% of body mass
- intracellular- 2/3
- extracellular- 1/3, further divided into plasma 20%, interstitial fluid 75%, transcellular fluid 5%
Wha are the steps of the scientific method?
- Make an observation
- Develop a research question based on your observations
- Develop a research hypothesis based on previous knowledge
- Conduct an experiment to test the hypothesis
- Analyze the results
- Suggest conclusions based on the results
What is the dialysis bag made of?
a semi permeable membrane
What general type of biomolecule is sucrose?
carbohydrate
what specific type of biomolecule is sucrose?
disaccharide
Osmosis
the movement of water from one side of a membrane to another
water moves to try to reach this state
osmotic equilibrium
diffusion, and when a solvent or solute diffuses
Solutes move from a place of higher concentration to a place of lower concentration by diffusion.
- if a solute can cross through a membrane it will do so to create a state of equilibrium
- if the solute cannot cross through the membrane, water will by osmosis.
osmotically active solutes
solutes that are stuck on one side of the membrane because they cannot pass through (have name because they attract water)
Hypertonic(more)
the side of the membrane that has more osmotically active solutes
hypotonic(less)
the side with fewer osmotically active solutes
Is water attracted to a hypotonic or hypertonic side?
hypertonic, because it has more solutes
Isotonic
two fluid compartments that are equal in the concentration of osmotically active solutes.
