If the mass of each dialysis bag shown in the experimental set-up below is measured before each is immersed in its respective so

lution, and the mass is measured again 45 minutes later, which bag would you predict will show the greatest increase in mass?

From the understanding of hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solutions; one can deduce which of the dialysis bags will show the greatest increase in mass. The correct answer would be the dialysis bag with 1.0 M solution.

Hypertonic solutions have higher concentrations than the sap of whatever cell or substances that is put into them. Water molecules will move from the sap of any cell drop into such solutions into the solutions.

Isotonic solutions have the same concentration as the sap of cells drop into them. Hence, no net movement of water molecules by osmosis.

Hypotonic solutions have lower concentrations than the sap of cells drop into them. Hence, water will move from such solutions to the sap of the cells drop into them.

In the images, there are 3 categories of solutions:

  • Hypertonic solutions: the solutions with 1.0, 0.4, and 0.6 M concentrations. The dialysis bags with 0.2 M solutions will lose water to their respective surrounding hypertonic solutions. Hence, their weights would decrease.
  • Isotonic solution: the solution with 0.2 M concentration, the same concentration as the solution in the dialysis bag. The dialysis bag will neither gain nor lose weight.
  • Hypotonic solution: the solution with 0.2 M concentration but the concentration of the solution in the dialysis bag is 1.0 M. Water molecules will move from the surrounding solution into the solution in the dialysis bag. Hence, the dialysis bag in this case will gain weight.

In other words, the dialysis bag with 1.0 M solution will have the greatest increase in mass due to a gain in water molecules by osmosis.

Explain how mutations in the photoreceptor genes result in different vision defects.
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The human eye is the prime organ of the body, which associates with the photons of light and allows one to see various things. The unique cells found in retina, which does activity of seeing are cones and rods cells. Rods help to see in dim light vision, while on the other hand, cone cells are unique in recognizing different colors.  

These cells comprise photoreceptor proteins that help in trapping photons at particular wavelength. Mutation in the gene encrypting for these proteins results in permanent or temporary vision issues. The extremity of defects relies upon the degree to which mutation takes place.  

The mutation in rod cells photoreceptor proteins leads to night blindness and retinitis pigmentosa. Retinitis pigmentosa refers to an inherited disorder that takes place because of early loss of rod cell, which destructs retina. On the other hand, night blindness does not mean complete blindness night, however, inadequate tendency to see in low light.  

Identically, the mutation in the cone cell also results in vision issues, known as red color blindness and tritanopia. Tritanopia refers to a kind of color blindness, which originates because of insensitivity of blue receiving protein gene towards blue light. On the other hand, red color blindness refers to insensitivity of red receiving cone cells in captivating long-wavelength photons.
