The fluid mosaic model of plasma membrane is the most accepted hypothesis, which describes the membranous components and their functions. According to this model, the plasma membrane is similar to a fluid, in which various molecules are arranged in a mosaic-like pattern. Question: According to this model, the proteins of the membrane are primarily

A cell whose cytoplasm has a concentration of 0.08 molar glucose is placed in a test tube of water containing 0.06 molar glucose.   Question: Assuming that glucose is not actively transported into the cell, initially which of the following terms describes the tonicity of the internal solution relative to the cytoplasm of the cell?

Use the diagram of the U-tube in Figure 2 to answer the questions that follow.The solutions in the two arms of this U-tube are separated by a membrane that is permeable to water and glucose but not to sucrose. Side B is half filled with 1 M sucrose and 2 M glucose. Side A is half filled with a solution of 2 M sucrose and 1 M glucose. Initially, the liquid levels on both sides are equal. Figure 2A person was in a serious car accident. As medical practitioners attempted to replenish body fluids (mainly due to blood lost), distilled water equal to the volume of the blood that was lost, goes through intravenously (IV).   Question: What results would be expected at the cellular level?
