(a)
Interpretation:
Whether blood pressure or osmotic pressure possesses the highest influence on the fluid movement direction through capillary walls at the venous end of a capillary is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The process of movement of solvent through semipermeable membrane is known as osmosis. The pressure applied to prevent the flow of the solvent molecules through semipermeable membrane is known as osmotic pressure.
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether blood pressure or osmotic pressure possesses the highest influence on the fluid movement direction through capillary walls at the arterial end of a capillary is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The process of movement of solvent through semipermeable membrane is known as osmosis. The pressure applied to prevent the flow of the solvent molecules through semipermeable membrane is known as osmotic pressure.

- Accumulation of cholesterol leads to the hardening of the arteries. This is called: a.vasoconstriction. b.venipuncture. c.atherosclerosis. d.hypertension.arrow_forwardHow does the polarity of the phosphoglycerides contribute to their function of forming cell membranes?arrow_forwardHow are phospholipids similar in structure to a soap molecule? What structural difference accounts for the fact that phospholipids form lipid bilayers rather than the micelles that soaps form?arrow_forward
- Starch contains CC, CH, CO, and OH bonds. Hydrocarbons have only CC and CH bonds. Both starch and hydrocarbons can form colloidal dispersions in water. Which dispersion is classified as hydrophobic? Which is hydrophilic? Explain briefly.arrow_forwardThe process of lysing occurs when the concentration outside a cell is and is said to be lower in concentration; hypotonic higher in concentration; hypertonic higher in concentration; hypotonic lower in concentration; hypertonicarrow_forwardThe steroid lipid cholesterol is a component of membranes. Identify true statements about cholesterol and its role in membrane fluidity. (mark all that apply) O Cholesterol increases membrane fluidity in a membrane that otherwise contains mostly long-chain saturated fatty acids cholesterol stiffens, decreases membrane fluidity, for membranes in the more fluid, liquid crystal state O the entire cholesterol lipid is buried deep in the middle of the lipid bilayer, disrupting the regularity of its structure. O cholesterol fits awkwardly within the lipid bilayer, increasing its melting temperature O cholesterol disrupts the regularity of the membrane structure without affecting the Tmarrow_forward
- A sample of 46.53 mg of chymotrypsin was dissolved in water and diluted to a total volume of 5.161 mL. The osmotic pressure of this solution at 25.0°C was 6.706 torr. What is the molar mass?arrow_forwardThe driving force for diffusion is: The kinetic energy of molecules in motion A cell membrane that is semi permeable Osmotic gradients O ATP hydrolysis Membrane transport proteins. Aarrow_forwardDecrease activity of solvent cause decreasing osmotic pressure?arrow_forward
- Methylene chloride ("proper" IUPAC name= dichloromethane) is considered a nonpolar solvent. Which of the four types of compounds ( small proteins, large proteins, triglycerides, or lactose) should dissolve in methylene chloride? Explain.arrow_forwardThe molecular mass of a polyethyleneglycol (PEG) can be quite variable; the osmotic pressure of a solution containing 1.358 g of PEG dissolved in a final volume of 420.27 mL was 30.572 torr at 25.00�C? What is the molecular mass of the compound? 199.1 g/mol 322.2 g/mol 1965.3 g/mol 164.8 g/molarrow_forwardWhat would happen to the partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood if a person cannot properly ventilate?arrow_forward
