Osmosis And Isotonic Solutions. Exam1 Flashcards
What is the molarity of pure water?
55.66moles/liter
How does water move through membrane pores?
Passive transport
The more dissolved particles the lower the ?
H2O
What do you call when you use the concentration of of dissolved particles?
Osmoles or osmolarity
What are examples of molecules that ionize in water?
NaCl, CaCl2, Na2CO3
What are examples of non-ionizing molecules?
Sucrose, glucose, urea, glycerol
What is an ISO-osmotic solution?
A tissue/cell type that is one in which the H2O is the solution is the same as the H2O in the cell
What is the ISO-osmotic for Macmillan cells?
.29 moles of dissolved particles
What makes a cell hypotonic?
The dissolved particles is less than the ISO-osmotic.
This will cause the cell to swell.
What makes a cell hypertonic?
The dissolved particles is greater that ISO-osmotic
This will cause the cell to shrink
