Microbial Physiology

Microbial physiology is the branch of microbiology that is associated with studying the physiology of fungi, bacteria, and viruses. It is an important field of science concerning functional genomics and metabolic engineering.

Chemotaxis

The organism’s movement in a particular direction as a response to certain chemicals that are available in the environment is defined as chemotaxis. In brief, it can be defined as the occurrence of an organism’s movement in response to a certain chemical stimulus.

Question

How come c) is the answer? Wouldn't the fresh water be a hypertonic solution because it would allow water to osmose out of the celery stalk and would make it 'harder' as there is less water?

Part A
Celery stalks that are immersed in fresh water for several hours become stiff and hard. Similar stalks left in a 0.15 M salt solution become limp and soft. From this we can deduce that
the fresh water is isotonic and the salt solution is hypertonic to the cells of the celery stalks.
the fresh water is hypertonic and the salt solution is hypotonic to the cells of the celery stalks.
the fresh water is hypotonic and the salt solution is hypertonic to the cells of the celery stalks.
the fresh water and the salt solution are both hypotonic to the cells of the celery stalks.
the fresh water and the salt solution are both hypertonic to the cells of the celery stalks.

Carrot slices placed in 0.2M salt solution for several hours becomes flaccid (limp). Carrot slices placed in freshwater for several hours becomes turgid (stiff). From this, we can deduce that the freshwater is hypertonic and the salt solution is hypotonic to the cells of the carrot slices. freshwater and salt solution are both hypotonic to the cells of the carrot slices. freshwater is isotonic and the salt solution is hypertonic to the cells of the carrot slices. freshwater is hypotonic and the salt solution is hypertonic to the cells of the carrot slices. freshwater and the salt solution are both hypertonic to the cells of the carrot slices.

Carrot sticks that are immersed in fresh water for several hours become stiff. Similar carrot sticks left in a salt solution become limp. From this we can deduce that the cytoplasm of the cells of the carrot stick is: Isotonic with the fresh water but hypotonic to the salt solution Hypotonic to both the fresh water and the salt solution Hypertonic to both the fresh water and the salt solution Hypertonic to the fresh water, but hypotonic to the salt solution Hypotonic to the fresh water, but hypertonic to the salt solution
In conditions of dehydration, plant cells can increase their water retention by regulating the function of some or all of their aquaporins, membrane-bound protein channels that allow water to move through the cell membrane via facilitated diffusion. Which of the following describes a likely mechanism by which aquaporins can be used to regulate the movement of water across the plant cell membrane? A B с D Synthesis of additional aquaporins by the plant cell ribosomes will allow the cell to coun- teract the movement of water out of the cell. Inhibition of ATP hydrolysis will make the aquaporins unable to remove water from the cell and cause more water to remain in the cell. Inactivation of aquaporins will make water molecules unable to move across the plant cell membrane and allow more water to remain in the cell. Inhibition of the plant cell Golgi apparatus will decrease the production rate of vesicles and slow down the exocytosis of water molecules.
You fill a bag made of semipermeable membrane with a .5 mol/litre solution of sugar, seal it and immerse it into a .3mol/litre solution of salt and water. Which description best fits what will happen. 1) The environment is hypertonic to the contents, so the bag will shrink as water leaves the bag. 2)The environment is hypotonic to the contents, so the bag will expand as water enters the bag. 3) The environment is hypertonic to the contents, so the bag will expand as water enters the bag. 4) The environment is hypotonic to the contents, so the bag will shrink as water leaves the bag.
