If a fresh cucumber slice is placed in very salty water, which direction will the water move, into the cells of the cucumber or

out of the cucumber?

IRISSAK [1]3 years ago

If we sprinkle salt on cucumber slices, it releases water after some time due to the process of osmosis. Osmosis is a process where solute or salt from higher concentration moves towards lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. Here, in this case, the salt concentration is more outside on the cucumber slices. The individual cell membrane of cells present in cucumber slices acts as a semi-permeable membrane. Inside the cucumber cells, there is less concentration of salt or solute and more concentration of water. Therefore, the salt from outside goes inside individual cells and the water comes out as it also travels from higher concentration to outside lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.

Receipt of extracellular signals can change cell behavior quickly (e.g., in seconds or less) or much more slowly (e.g., in hours
balandron [24]

Answer:

A. Molecular changes such as extracellular signals on extracellular ligands can result in quick changes in cell behaviour. One example is insulin. Upon insulin binding on the receptor on the cell membrane, the cell release GLUT4 transporters (for muscle cells) to increase uptake of glucose.

B. Slow changes in cell behaviour can be observed for other lipophilic hormones or intracellular receptors such as glucocoortoid or estrogen which reacts with receptors in the cells.

C. Insulin is required to maintain a constant blood glucose level and hence levels of insulin has to be mediated in correspondence to the blood glucose levels. Fast acting signalling is thus required for homeostasis of blood glucose levels. Where for such lipophilic hormones such as steriods, glucocortoid, these hormones tend to have a longer lasting effect and hence results in a slow change.
