A population of organisms must exist. There must be variation among the members of the population. There must be a mechanism by which some members of the population can produce more offspring than other members. There must be a mechanism by which the variation among members of the population is passed on to their offspring.
Answer:
- The solution is hyperosmotic to the body.
- What is the concentration of nonpenetrating solutes (NP) in the solution? 500 mosmol/L
- What is the internal concentration of the body's cells? (All intracellular solutes are nonpenetrating.) 300 mosmol/L
- When the cells reach equilibrium after addition of the solution to the body, has cell volume increased, decreased, or stayed the same? increased
- Based on your answer regarding water movement, the solution was hypotonic to the body's cells.
Explanation:
A hyperosmotic (or hypertonic) solution is a solution with a greater solute concentration. If a cell is placed in a hyperosmotic solution the water will leave the cell and the cell will shrink. Conversely, a hypotonic solution is a solution that has a lower concentration of solute. If a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution the water will enter the cell through osmosis and the cell increases in size. In this case, the NaCl is a non-penetrating solute, and thereby the concentration in the body's cells maintains constant. Moreover, urea is a penetrating solute, thereby it will penetrate in the cells until the equilibrium is reached (i.e., the cells will increase in volume).
