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).
Answer:
active; prokaryotes
Explanation:
Active transport can be defined as the movement of molecules across cell membranes against a concentration gradient, i.e., from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration. Group translocation is a specialized type of active transport observed in prokaryotic cells. In group translocation, the transported substance is chemically modified during its movement, thereby the cell membrane becomes impermeable to this substance once it is within the cell. In bacteria, the phosphotransferase system is a type of group translocation that uses phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) as a source of energy to transport sugar molecules into the cell.
