What else can I help you with?
Osmosis in real life?
Osmosis certainly does happen regularly in real life. Osmosis is the transportation of water from one side of a membrane to the other side of a membrane.
What must happen to the other molecules for them to get into the blood?
they must be broken down and it should absorb into the blood
What would happen if you cool the gas?
it would turn into liquid because molecules gain energy and join forces as they are cooled.
When you tap a glass with a little water in it It has a high pitch when you tap a glass with water filled to the top it has a low pitch why does this happen?
Glass has a natural frequency at which it vibrates, known as its resonant frequency. If you put energy into the substance at its resonant frequency, you will force it to vibrate or resonate (resonance is a forced vibration). So, tapping imparts energy to the glass molecules and causes them to resonate. This motion sets up a wave of vibration traveling through the glass. The vibrating glass causes air molecules to vibrate similarly. The vibrating air molecules are the sound wave that you hear (the frequency or pitch of the sound wave is the same as the resonant frequency of the glass). As the resonant wave moves through the glass, it moves the water molecules with it, creating a wave of water that you can see near the edge of the glass. The dragging water molecules effectively increase the mass (both the water and the glass molecules) and reduce the energy of the wave traveling through the glass. When the energy is reduced, so is the frequency of the wave in the glass, which is reflected in the pitch of the sound wave that you hear. In simpler terms, when you tap a glass with a lot of water in it, there are fewer vibrations because they have more trouble traveling through the higher mass. Thus, the lower pitch.
What will happen to the atoms or molecules of a substance when it condenses?
When a substance condenses, it turns from a vapor (gas) into a liquid. When this occurs, the atoms/molecules lose some kinetic energy, and don't move as fast. They also become packed closer together, and take up less volume.
What would happen if molecules could not pass through the cell membrane?
Murder, in the first degree...jk
When the molecules on both sides of a cell membrane are in equilibrium what will the molecules do?
If the concentration of molecules on both sides of a membrane is the same, nothing will happen to the molecules. Osmosis only occurs when there is an imbalance of the molecules across the cell membrane.
What is a diffused molecule from a semipermeable membrane?
What is the situation? Provided a concentration gradient and a molecule that passes through a membrane, diffusion will happen. Generally small and nonpolar molecules will pass through a membrane down a concentration gradient. That doesn't answer your question but it may be the answer your looking for.
What happen to the portion of the cell membrane that surrounds a large molecules during endocytosis?
it separates from the membrane.
How does passive transport work in biological systems?
Passive transport in biological systems is a process where molecules move across a cell membrane without the use of energy. This can happen through diffusion, where molecules move from an area of high concentration to low concentration, or through facilitated diffusion, where molecules are helped across the membrane by specific proteins. This process is important for maintaining the balance of molecules inside and outside of cells.
What is ATP and what role does it play in energy transfers?
ATP IS energy. It makes reactions happen between chemicals that can't happen on their own, like pumping molecules through the cell membrane or helping put together proteins through transcription and translation.
Why does defusion happen?
To let things through the cell membrane
Do water molecules passively enter and leave cells through the plasma membrane?
Yes, water molecules can passively enter and leave cells through the plasma membrane via a process called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration to maintain equilibrium.
What would happen if a fatty acids in a cell membrane were polar molecules?
The cell would dissolve in water.
What would happen if the fatty acids in cell membrane were polar molecules?
The cell would dissolve in water.
What is the ability of a cell membrane to allow materials to pass through it ca surrounded by a semipermeable membrane What would happen if this layer were permeable to most substances?
The ability of a cell membrane to allow materials to pass through selectively is called permeability. If the cell membrane were permeable to most substances, it would lead to unregulated flow of molecules in and out of the cell, disrupting cellular processes and potentially causing cell damage or death.
Why non polar molecules diffuse more rapidly through membranes than polar molecules?
The implication of non-polar molecules diffusing more rapidly than polar molecules to the transport of substances through the plasma membrane is quite significant. Concentrate gradients are established which facilitate the transport of vital molecules.
