You have genetically modified a cell to have a thicker membrane than normal (25nm). To keep your cells alive, you need to understand how diffusion of nutrients works. What is the flux of glucose through the cell membrane given that: -The concentration of glucose in the media is 10mM -The concentration of glucose inside the cell is 2mM -The diffusivity of glucose is 6x10-10m2/s

The glucose in cell culture media diffuses to the cell surface where it is rapidly consumed. The glucose concentration 3.15 g/L in the media, and the cell has a radius of 30 um. You can assume that the diffusivity of glucose in pure water (6.7 x 10^-6 cm^2/s) is reasonably close to that of in media. •Determine the distance from the cell at which the impact of glucose diffusion is no longer observed.
An animal cell has an internal concentration of 0.1M of NaCl. You place this cell into a solution with 5M NaCl. Select the true statement below. The solution is hypotonic to the cell therefore the cell will lyse The solution is hypotonic to the cell therefore the cell will shrivel The solution is hypertonic to the cell therefore water will lyse The solution is hypertonic to the cell therefore water will shrivel
Osmosis Practice Activity Osmosis is the diffusion of water from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Only water moves in osmosis! The diagrams below show the concentration of water and salt inside the cell and the concentration of water and salt surrounding the cell. Complete the sentences below by comparing the concentration of the water inside the cell and the concentration outside the cell. 1. a. Water will flow the cell, out of the cell, in both directions). (into 5% NaCl 95% H20 95% NaCI 5% H20 b. The cell will (shrink, burst, stay the same). a. Water will flow (into the cell. 2. 5% NaCl out of the cell, in both directions). 5% NaCl 95% H20 95% H20 b.

You obtain the following results for the transport of an amino acid into bacteria. Based on this (make a sketch of data, does transport of diffusion (mediated)? Explain your reasoning a rate vs concentration graph to help answer this question. Concentration Initial Uptake Rate (Flux) (microM) outside of (arbitrary units) cell 110 1 220 2 480 5 830 10 1700 30 2600 100 3100 500 b) What additional experiment(s) would you perform to verify that a transport protein is or is not involved?
The average concentration of salt in seawater is about 3.5 percent and the average concen- tration of salt in the human cellular environment is about 0.9 percent. Drinking seawater can be fatally harmful and is highly discouraged even in the most severe cases of dehydration. Which of the following provides the most likely cause for this fact? A B с D The increase in salt concentration in the extracellular environment will increase the per- meability of the cell membrane. The increase in salt concentration in the extracellular environment will cause the move- ment of water into the cell. The increase in salt concentration in the extracellular environment will cause the move- ment of water out of the cell. The increase in salt concentration in the extracellular environment will decrease the per- meability of the cell membrane.
Which of the following statements is correct about passive facilitated diffusion? (select all that apply) V It is a process in which molecules move from a region of lower concentration to one of higher concentration (or up a concentration gradient). O It requires a transport protein. O It requires an expenditure of energy by the cell. O It is a process in which molecules move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration (or down a concentration gradient). O It involves movement of molecules up a concentration gradient and requires a transport protein.
