To model ocean water in different places on Earth, a student pours equal amounts of water in two containers. He adds the same am

ount of salt to each container and stirs until the salt is completely dissolved. He places Container 1 in a cool place in the house and Container 2 outside in the sunlight. After two hours, he tests the salinity of water in each container. What should the student MOST LIKELY conclude, and why?

Answer:

The correct answer would be - container 2 will have less salinity than container 1.

Explanation:

The given experiment can give an idea about how the temperature of surroundings can affect the salinity, volume, and density of the water that has the same amount of water and salt dissolved in it. The independent variable or the only variable that is different is their place that has a difference in the temperature. Container 1 is placed in a cool place while container 2 is placed in sunlight.

We know that the warmer the water it takes more space so, therefore, less density. Density and salinity both have a positive relationship so an increase in density increases the salinity and vice versa. Thus, here the salinity of container 2 would be low in comparison to container 1

-Q. <em>How do membrane proteins aid in the movement of hydrophilic substances across the membrane?</em>

Transport proteins spanning the plasma membrane facilitate the movement of ions and other complex, polar molecules  which are typically prevented from moving across the membrane from the extracellular or intracellular space.

Lipids are composed of fatty acids which form the hydrophobic tail and glycerol which forms the hydrophilic head; glycerol is a 3-Carbon alcohol which is water soluble, while the fatty acid tail is a long chain hydrocarbon (hydrogens attached to a carbon backbone) with up to 36 carbons.

Their polarity or arrangement can give these non-polar macromolecules hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. Via diffusion, small water molecules can move across the phospholipid bilayer acts as a semi-permeable membrane into the extracellular fluid or the cytoplasm which are both hydrophilic and contain large concentrations of polar water molecules or other water-soluble compounds. The hydrophilic heads of the bilayer are attracted to water while their water-repellent hydrophobic tails face towards each other- allowing molecules of water to diffuse across the membrane along the concentration gradient.

Similarly via osmosis, molecules of water pass through the membrane due to the difference in osmotic pressure on either side of the phospholipid by layer this means that the water moves from regions of high osmotic pressure/concentration to regions of low pressure/ concentration to a steady state.

Transmembrane proteins are embedded within the membrane from the extracellular fluid to the cytoplasm, and are sometimes attached to glycoproteins (proteins attached to carbohydrates) which function as cell surface markers. Transport proteins are transmembrane proteins involed in moving molecules across the membrane.

There are two types:

  1. Channels or pores are filled with water, enabling charged molecules to diffuse across the membrane,  from regions of high concentration to regions of lower concentration down the concentration gradient -this is a passive part of facilitated diffusion. Channels may undergo minor changes to become open or closed whereas pores are always in open states <em>e.g. H2O movement into and out of the cell via aquaporins.</em>
  2. Carrier proteins bind specifically bind to molecules and move them across or against concentration gradients. Unlike facilitated diffusion, carrier proteins directly or indirectly use energy in the form of  ATP and modify solute specific regions, that aid in regulating ion exchange, through the hydrophobic layer of the plasma membrane- this is called <em>active transport.</em> <em>e.g. Na+/K+transported by the enzyme ATPase </em>
