Question
Chapter 3, Problem 4CT
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The effect on a patient’s water balance if some bacterial toxins cause cells lining the digestive tract to secrete ions, making the content of the tract hypertonic.
Introduction:
The passive transport includes osmosis, diffusion, and facilitative diffusion. Osmosis is the movement of water through “selectively permeable membrane” into the portion with solute that cannot cross the “selectively permeable membrane”.

Which of the following occurs when red blood cells are transferred from an isotonic solution to a hypertonic solution?
Using the principles of osmosis, explain why movement of Na + through a plasma membrane is followed by movement of water. Use this concept to explain the rationale on which oral rehydration therapy is based.
You are working in an emergency care center. A person comes in dehydrated and the physician orders a hypertonic solution. Explain why this solution is used instead of an isotonic solution.

- Proteus mirabilis produces the enzyme urease, which converts urea into ammonia. If a patient has a urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by Proteus mirabilis, what signs or symptoms might be observed? Cloudy urine. As the bacteria multiply, the urine becomes progressively cloudier because of the large numbers of cells in suspension. High ammonia content contributes to the strong smell of urine from patients with a UTI. A higher-than-normal urine pH. With large numbers of bacteria producing urease and converting urea into ammonia, the urine pH would be very basic. All of the answers are correct.arrow_forwardA cell's normal surface area:volume ratio (SA:Vol) is 3:1. As a rest of unusual uptake of water, it expands in size so that its SA:Vol changes to 2:1. Which statement below best describes the cells response. 1) The cell divides because it has too much surface area for its enclosed volume. 2) The cell is able to take up more materials due the decreased surface area to volume ratio. 3)The cell divides because it can no longer adequately acquire the necessary resources for its survival. 4) The cell changes it cell membrane structure, halting the further intake of water.arrow_forwardA red blood cell with an intracellular fluid (ICF) concentration of 280 mmol/L, is placed into an environment were the concentration of the extracellular fluid (ECF) is 305 mmol/L.

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.
