The mixing of liquids is critical in microfluidic analytical systems and is often taking place inY-shaped junctions as seen in Figure Q4b. The inlets are 50 μm wide and 50 µm high, andthe outlet is 50 μm wide and 50 μm high. The aim of the device is to analyse IgG with adiffusion coefficient of 4-10 cm²-s¹. Determine the shortest length of the channel to ensurecomplete mixing when the flowrate in each of the inlet channels is 1 µl/h.

Palytoxin is a deadly compound found in certain marine animals. When scientists first isolated palytoxin from sea corals in the 1970s, they did not know how it affected people exposed to it. In time, they began to suspect that the toxin was interfering with the sodium-potassium pump. Researchers have measured the effect of palytoxin on ion transport through the sodium-potassium pump using the patch-clamp technique. This involves using a fine-tipped microelectrode to measure the electric current across pumps in the cell membrane. In this activity, you will examine some of the researchers' results and conclusions. Procedure 1. Read the following observations that researchers made after adding palytoxin to a membrane, and then answer the questions. • Observation 1: The current across a single pump jumped from 0 picoamperes to 1 picoamperes. • Observation 2: When ATP was added to the cytoplasm-facing side of the membrane, the current across a group of pumps increased by a factor of 8…
You set up the following two tubes: Tube 1: 1mL of alkaline phosphatase + 4mL of 400 µM p-NPP Tube 2: 1mL of alkaline phosphatase + 4mL of 200 µM p-NPP Which tube would have a faster reaction rate? Explain your reasoning (why does concentration of p-NPP matter? Relate it back to week 4 lab concepts). Week 4 lab concepts: - concentration gradient - differentially permeable membrane - solute, solvent, diffusion, osmosis, hypotonic, isotonic, hypertonic, molarity, osmolarity
What is meant by the statement “orthogonal analysis methods should be used for characterization of impurities”? Why do bacterial and plant cells require partial destruction prior to osmotic lysis? How can the partial destruction be achieved?
The following table shows experimental results of the glucose transport rate, mM/sec, following facilitated diffusion by glucose carrier proteins. (Recall: the starting conc. L represents glucose added to one side of the membrane; distilled water, omM of glucose was added to the other side of the membrane). The rate of glucose transport was 0.0031 mm/sec with 8mM of glucose (run number 4, highlighted); the rate decreased to 0.0017 mM/sec with 10mM of glucose (run 5, highlighted). Why was the rate of glucose transport slower when the concentration gradient was increased?

When testing the tonicity of potato strips, why is the amount of wait time after adding the potato strip an important factor in the experiment a)the lower the concentration of solute in the solution more time is required for osmosis to occcur. b) the potato immediately absorbs water. the higher the concentration of solute in the solutiokn more tomes is required for osomis to occur d) the potato will spoil so you have to work quickly
4) Two membrane preparations have been made from the plasma membrane of erythrocytes (i.e red blood cells) and are being maintained in an isotonic buffer solution: (1) right-side-out membrane vesicles, in which the exoplasmic leaflet of the vesicle faces the buffer (equivalent in orientation to that of the exoplasmic leaflet of the intact plasma membrane); and (2) inside-out membrane vesicles in which the exoplasmic leaflet faces the interior of the vesicles and the cytoplasmic leaflet faces the buffer. 80 a. Right-side-out vesicles (ROVS) Very Low Fluorescence Inside-out vesicles (IOVS) Very High Fluorescence A newly discovered phosphoglyceride, called phosphotidylalanine is currently being studied. Annexin V is a protein that binds to phosphatidylalanine, which is one of the phospholipids present in the cell membrane preparations described above. Fluorescently labeled Annexin V is mixed with each vesicle preparation. The vesicles are washed to remove unbound Annexin V and then…

The beaker is divided into two compartments (C and D) that has equal volumes of solution separated by an artificial membrane that has a pore size of 23 Å (Angstrom). Explain the movement of solute after eight hours if comparment C has 17 % sucrose while the compartment D has 2 % sucrose (diameter of sucrose molecule = 9 Å (Angstrom))
The surface area to volume ratio affects the ability of the cell to exchange nutrients and waste products with the outside environment. Many factors affect the movement of molecules across the cell membrane, including membrane thickness, temperature, pressure, concentration gradient, molecular mass, distance travelled, solvent properties and surface area of the cell. In general, according to Einstein’s approximation equation (Equation 1), diffusion time is inversely proportional to the to the diffusion coefficient (D), where t is time and x is distance travelled. The diffusion coefficient is unique to each type of molecule and is determined experimentally. Waste products such as carbon dioxide (CO2) pose a unique problem to cells as their accumulation may be lethal. Exchange with the external environment is dependent upon the distance the waste must travel; for a round cell this will be up to half the cell diameter. Using the diffusion coefficient (D) for carbon dioxide (1.97 × 10-5…
