Suppose you could isolate a few cells from your body and put them in a water bath like you did with the model cell. Would they swell up and possibly lyse each time you drink water?
Homework Answers
Cells in our body work as a coordinated system. If there is any change in the surrounding environment, they elicit a collective response to maintain homeostasis. So, if there is any change in the osmolarity of the surrounding media, cells activate certain transporters and inhibit others so that the osmolytic integrity of the cell is maintained.
This does not hold true in the case of isolated cells. They can not maintain their osmotic potential. Since pure water has low osmotic potential, it enters isolated cells by endosmosis leading to cell burst. But, our cells in the body do not lyse when we drink water.

When you drink cold water, your body must expend metabolic energy in order to maintain normal body temperature (37.0°C) by warming up the water in your stomach. Could drinking ice water, then, substitute for exercise as a way to "burn calories?" Suppose you expend 490. kilocalories during a brisk hour-long walk. How many liters of ice water (0°C) would you have to drink in order to use up 490. kilocalories of metabolic energy? For comparison, the stomach can hold about...

Your house has lost electricity and natural gas. Luckily, you still have running water but the idea of an ice cold shower doesn’t appeal to you. So you want to have a hot water bath but the only source of heat is a wood fire. You put 195L of cold water (15C) into the tub but you are going to have to carry something hot from the fireplace to the tub to heat it up. You have two choices. You...

Your cells are ready to split and you prepare to scale-up. Write a protocol for this scale-up in enough detail that anyone in your laboratory could follow your exact procedure. Your protocol should answer the following questions. How will you release the cells from the substrate? How will you split the contents of the flask (what kind of flasks, how many flasks, how much medium, etc.) for scale-up (10 points)? All of your flasks of cells are ready to...

1. You have identified a new protein and predict it is a transmembrane protein due to its AA sequence analysis. How would determine where the protein is located in the cell? A. Extract all the proteins from the cell and analyze them on a protein gel. B.Use Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) to amplify the protein. C. Use an fluorescent antibody to the protein and allow it to bind to the cells. D Isolate the RNA for the protein and use...

If you could take the exam again, how-if at all-should you reallocate your time between these...
Suppose you just purchased a digital music player and have put 10 tracks on it.
Suppose you just purchased a digital music player and have put 10 tracks on it. After listening to them you decide that you like 4 of the songs. With the random feature on your player, each of the 10 songs is played once in random order. Find the probability that among the first two songs played (a) You like both of them. Would this be unusual? (b) You like neither of them. (c) You like exactly one of them (d) Redo (a)-(c) if a...

Osmotic Pressure: You are trying to make artificial blood cells. You have managed to get pure lipids to form spherical bags (cells) of radius 10 μm, filled with hemoglobin. The first time you did this, you transferred the cells into pure water and they promptly burst, spilling the contents. Eventually you found that transferring them into a 1 mM salt solution prevents bursting, leaving the cell spherical and full of hemoglobin and water. Explain the reason why the cells burst...
