Detergents disrupt the cell membrane by breaking down its lipid bilayer structure. This can lead to the release of cellular contents, loss of cell integrity, and ultimately cell death.

What colour would detergent be in a universal indicator?

Dishwater detergent with a bit of water would be in the pH range of 3-6.


What osmotic effect would injecting a patient with a 10 percent saline solution have?

Injecting a patient with a 10 percent saline solution would create an osmotic effect by drawing water from the cells into the bloodstream to help balance the concentration of solutes. This can lead to an increase in blood volume and blood pressure due to the additional solutes. The osmotic effect can also affect the hydration status of the patient's cells and tissues.


How would increasing the temperature setting on a washing machine affect how fast the detergent will dissolve?

Increasing the temperature setting on a washing machine will generally help the detergent dissolve faster. Warm or hot water can help break down the detergent molecules more quickly compared to cold water, making it easier for the detergent to dissolve and distribute evenly through the laundry load.


How much does 1.95 gallons of liquid detergent weigh?

The weight of liquid detergent can vary based on its density, but as a rough estimate, 1 gallon of liquid detergent weighs around 8-9 pounds. Therefore, 1.95 gallons of liquid detergent would weigh approximately 15-17 pounds.


Do you really need high efficiency laundry detergent?

High efficiency (or "HE") detergent is designed to produce fewer suds (foam and bubbles) than regular detergent. So, yes, it is important to use HE detergent if you're using an HE washing machine! Using regular detergent in an HE machine would be like using regular dish washing detergent in an automatic dishwasher - imagine the foam! Using HE detergent in a regular machine, however, is just fine - only difference is that you would notice fewer suds.

What effect does a detergent have on the integrity of cells if a lipid is added to the detergent?

A detergent would bring about the deterioration of cell integrity. This is because the cell's membrane consists of lipids and proteins. Most importantly, however, is that the cell membrane is spanned by a phospholipid bilayer and, according to the information given about the effect of detergent on lipids, the cell membrane would be destroyed since it is made up primarily of lipids.

When liquid is added to a solution of a detergent in water the detergent breaks up large globules of the lipid into much smaller globues what effect do you think a detergent would up large globules o?

Adding a detergent to a solution with large globules of lipids helps break them down into smaller globules due to the detergent's ability to lower surface tension. This allows the lipids to disperse more evenly in the solution, improving their solubility and making it easier to wash away dirt and grime from surfaces.
