Ans A: The osmosis is process of movement of solute from lesser concentration to higher concentration across the semipermiable membrane and osmotic pressure is a minimum required pressure to prevent the osmosis process.
a. In this situation, when cells are transferred to the pure water, the cells burst because the osmotic pressure difference between water and artificial cell.
b. In this situation, when cells are placed in 1mM salt solution the cells are stable because of the balanced osmotic pressure.
If we add same cells in a higher salt concentration solution (2mM) then cells may burst due to the salt solution causes increase in osmotic pressure
c. To calculte osmotic pressure the van hoff factor is considered.
The van hoff factor of glucose is 1 and if we consider salt is an NaCl, The van hoff factor of Nacl is 2.
So, to equalize the osmotic pressure we need doubled concentration of glucose as compared to salt
Thats why we require 2mM of glucose solution to replace the salt.

7.4 Osmotic estimate of molecular weight Chapter 5 discussed the use of centrifugation to estimate macromolecular weights, but this method is not always the most convenient. a. The osmotic pressure of blood plasma proteins is usually expressed as about 28 mm of mercury (see Appendix A) at body temperature, 303K. The quantity of plasma proteins present has been CHAPTER 7. ENTROPIC FORCES AT WORK STUDENT VERSION, JANUARY 17, 2003 l 256 measured to be about 60 g L 1. Use...
The partial pressure of oxygen in the lung alveoli is a bit lower than in ambient air, being about 100 mm of mercury, or 0.13 Atm (it is lower than the partial pressure in air mainly because oxygen is continually taken up by the alveolar capillaries and carbon dioxide is continually released into the alveoli). In cell-free blood plasma (or a saline solution formulated to match key characteristics of blood plasma), which lacks red blood cells and therefore lacks hemoglobin,...
Homework In this assignment you will be asked questions about water and osmotic pressure. Complete the assignment as directed and post your answer to the message board. Remember, do not upload files, I may not be able to open them so just leave everything on your post for me to read. You may use internet resources to respond but do not, that is do not, copy and paste from web sites. Also, using quotes does not make something your own...
_____membranes proteins are associated with the bilayer through interactions with other membrane component on the surface of the membrane. Net movement of particles from a region where they are more concentrated to a region where they are law concentrated is called Diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane down its own concentration gradient It called A solution with an equivalent concentration of water and hence the tame osmotic pressure as the fluid inside the cell is said to be...
