Summary Introduction

To explain: The process of osmosis and to identify its significance in the body.

Introduction: The concentration gradient is the movement of substances inside a cell to equalize the concentration of particles both within and outside the cell. The movement of solutes helps in the spread of water, and nutrients from areas of low concentration to areas that contain higher concentration of solutes.

Molecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?
