Introduction:
The segregation between two charges is known as the voltage, which is a kind of gradient that refers to the electrical gradient. This across the plasma membrane is called a membrane potential and it is the electrical gradient that is the source of potential energy for the cell.

It is important to clean them daily using a sterile, isotonic cleaning solution. The concentration of solutes in the cleaning solution is the same as the concentration of the hydrogel in the contact lens. What would happen if instead of an isotonic cleaning solution, soft contact lenses are cleaned with water? (A) The soft contact lenses will shrink because it will remove too much water by osmosis. B The soft contact lenses will shrink because too much water is absorbed by osmosis. The soft contact lenses will swell and change shape because too much water is absorbed by osmosis. The soft contact lenses will swell and change shape because too much water is removed by osmosis.arrow_forwardIn the experimental setup described in the attached figure (Figure 2.5 of the textbook), the middle panel shows two compartments with 10 mM KCI on the left (inside) and 1 mM KCL on the right (outside), separated by a membrane that is permeable to K+.
