Hypotonic Solution To Replace The Cells By Osmosis

181 Words1 Pages
Hypotonic is a solution with a lower salt concentration than what the body’s normal cells contain this then allows water to flow into the cells by osmosis. One reason to use a hypotonic solution on a patient is to replace cellular fluid, which is to hydrate the patient that may be dehydrated (Farrell & Dempsey, 2014, p 147).

Hypertonic can be a saline solution which has a higher salt concentration then the normal body cells so this then encourages water out of the cell by osmosis. This solution would be used on patients that are suffering from oedema (Farrell & Dempsey, 2014, p 147).

Isotonic is a solution that that can be characterised by having an equal osmotic pressure, that is the red bloods cells neither shrink or expand. An isotonic

I.V. fluids such as normal saline are utilized to increase volume and aid in the prevention of acute kidney injury. These I.V. fluids are initiated as soon as possible and are continued until the creatinine kinase level drops below 1,000 U/L. Diuretics such as Lasix are sometimes administered to promote the excretion of fluid. Bed rest is typically ordered for patients with rhabdomyolysis. In some cases, if compartment pressure exceeds 25 mm Hg, a fasciotomy and debridement may be

Part A: Osmosis practical task Aim: To observe the effects of osmosis in rhubarb cells. Hypothesis: Water will be extracted out of the cells in the salt solution causing the cells to look different to the cells in the freshwater solution. Materials: Rhubarb Distilled water in a dropping bottle Salt solution in a dropping bottle Microscope, slides, and coverslips Forceps and razor blades or scalpel Paper Towel Method: Clean and dry a slide and coverslip.

This involved filling a tub with warm, or cool, water and sitting the patient in the tub for about 2 hours. In most hospitals this was used as a good source to relax and calm patients, but in London hydrotherapy was much worse. Dr. Charles pilgrim took hydrotherapy to the next level. He would change the temperatures to either scalding hot or freezing cold. After he had adjusted the temperature he would help the patient into the tub and then tie down a heavy sheet over the tub so the patient could not escape.

In this experiment, we are determining how the osmosis is effected when the salt solution is diffused on the elodea leaf cells and it organelles. The steps we took to solve this dilemma to determine the effect of the solution on the elodea leaf, was first to get two leafs from the elodea plant. Then we created the different salt solution in two tubes to later add in the slides.. As a class we seperated into our groups, we each place a leave on a slide to see it cells before contaminating it with the solution. After we examine the leaf, we added the 5% salt solution on the leaf slide and check the results.

Exploration Title: Effect of Temperature on rate of Osmosis Submitted By: Abdulkarim Kamal Date Submitted: October 19th 2015 Subject: Biology HL Teacher: Mr. Nick   Aim: This is an investigation to determine the relation between temperature of a solution (sucrose) and the rate of osmosis Scientific Context: Osmosis is defined a passive transport process in which a fluid diffuses across a semi-permeable membrane, from an area of high solute concentration to an area of low solute concentration and vice-versa. There are various factors that could potentially influence the rate of osmosis; these factors include volume, concentration, and temperature. If all external factors that may interfere with rate of osmosis are controlled, the results will show equal amounts of fluid on both sides of the barrier (membrane); this is known as an “isotonic” state.

Knowing that the concentration of different ions are not the same on the inside and the outside of the cell, yet we know that the important nature of the membrane is its permeability. The sodium-potassium pump is used to keep an osmotic balance across the membrane, by keeping the concentration of sodium ions low on the inside, because the sodium and potassium ions have the same charge, but sodium is smaller molecule and has a bigger charge density. That makes sodium more attracted to water molecules, and so the sodium will have a larger diameter, and that makes it harder to cross the inside of the membrane, that is why it is restricted from the inside. Because there is little sodium ions on the inside there has to be plentiful cations on the

During, Cell Structures Involved in Cell Transport discusses the plasma membrane and its role. The plasma membrane consists of a phospholipid bilayer arranged back – to – back. The phospholipid bilayer contains membrane proteins that perform various functions. These membrane proteins are integral protein, peripheral protein, transport protein, carrier protein, ion channel protein, channel protein and gated channel protein. The membrane is selectively permeable which certain molecules are allowed to enter and exit the cell.

Biology Design Practical Joshua Edwards What are effects of the volume of a potato and the amount of weight it loses when placed in salt solution? Introduction This design practical uses a potato’s surface area to volume ratio to see what affects it has on osmosis in different concentrations. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through a cell membrane into an area of a higher solute concentration. The movement goes the way of the solvent with more solute because the lower solute concentration is drifting through balancing the ratio of solute per solvent (En.wikipedia.org, 2018).

Microorganisms such as bacteria import nutrient materials that are needed for their growth and survival from the environment as well as exporting metabolites. As the cytoplasm of microbes is separated from the environment by the hydrophobic plasma membrane which is impermeable to hydrophilic solutes, most of the hydrophilic compounds can only pass through the plasma membrane by means of integral membrane proteins which include carrier proteins, permeases or transporters due to the permeability barrier exerted by the phospholipid components of plasma membrane. Movement of solutes in and out of bacteria can be classified by the following processes: diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, active transport, group translocation, endocytosis and exocytosis. As related to active transport and group translocation, energy is invested in active transport

Cellular Respiration One of the main essentials of life that all organisms need in order to function in our world is, energy. We receive that energy from the food that we eat. Cellular respiration is the most efficient way for a cell to receive the energy stored in food. In cellular respiration, a catabolic pathway, which breaks down the molecules into smaller units, in order to produce adenosine triphosphate, also known as, ATP. ATP, is used by cells in the act of regular cellular operations, it is a “high energy” molecule.

4.Literature research: Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a semi-permeable membrane into a region of high solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on two sides. There are 3 types of osmotic conditions that affect living cells, they are: hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic states. These terms describe the osmotic state of the solution that surrounds a cell, not the solution inside the cell. Hypertonic conditions cause water to diffuse out of the cell, making the cell shrivel. Hypotonic conditions cause water to move into the cell swelling or bursting it.

increase in Ca levels and hypersensitivity reaction.2,3 There are many classes of Diuretics such as loop diuretics, potassium sparing, thiazide, osmotic diuretics. They are classified according to mechanism of action, site of action, chemical class and effect on urine electrolytes. Each class vary widely in its efficacy.1,2 At the 16th century, calomel (mercurrous chloride) was used as diuretic, but its poor absorption from the GIT limited its use and was replaced by the organomerrcurials(chlormerodin) which was highly effective, but unfortunately its parenteral use and possibility of toxicity and tolerance limited their use and they are no longer used, so scientists searched for more safe and effective

A second principle of homoeopathy is that you should give the least amount of medicine necessary to evoke a healing response. This is called the “Minimum Dose”. We all know that normal medicines can cause side effects, leading to much suffering or even death. In an effort to prevent side effects, Hahnemann began successive dilution with agitation of his medicines, to find the point at which they would be therapeutic, but not toxic. Homoeopathy’s Track Record
