LAB TEST CLASS REVIEW Flashcards
What is the freezing point of water in Celsius and Fahrenheit
Freezing point of water in Celsius is 0° and in Fahrenheit it’s 32°
What is the normal body temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit
Body temperature in Celsius is 37° but the temperature in Fahrenheit is 98.6°
Define Diffusion
The movement of particles from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration. Along a concentration gradient
Define filtration
Removal of particles in suspension by passing the mixture through a membrane of specific pore size
Define osmosis
The diffusion of water across a semi permeable membrane. In that movement of water from a high concentration to a lower concentration Across a semi permeable or Selectively permeable membrane
Define hydrolysis
A Digestion reaction or catabolic. Polymers are broken down into monomers
What is the monomer of the polymer polypeptide ( proteins)
Amino acids
What is the monomer of polysaccharides (starch)
Monosaccharides
What is the monomer of the polymer fats
Glycerol and fatty acids
What is the monomer of the polymer DNA and RNA
Nucleotides
What is a solute
A solute is a substance that is dissolved into the solvent in a solution
What is a solvent
The solvent is the substance That dissolves a solute in a solution.
The salt dissolve in water
Yes it does
What happens to a red blood cell in a hypertonic solution.? Explain why
It Crenates or shrinks and becomes wrinkled.
Because there is More solute outside of the cell and less water so the water inside the cell comes out to achieve equilibrium
What happens to a red blood cell in a hypotonic solution.? And explain why
Hemolysis or the cell swells and bursts.
Water moves into the cell because outSide of the cell there are less solute And more water. Causing water to come into the cell attempting to reach equilibrium causing it to swell and burst.
Happens to red blood cell in an isotonic solution? Explain why
Nothing happens to the red blood cell because the concentration of solute inside and outside of the cell or equal so there’s no movement of water
