19 Common Core Practice Directions: Read the experiment below and analyze the results. On the following page, write a response that addresses the prompts at the top of the page. Water Containing 20% starch indicator Artificial cell containing starch solution Water Containing 12 % starch indicator Artificial cell containing starch solution Water Containing 6 % starch indicator Artificial cell containing starch solution In this experiment, a scientist wanted to test the diffusion rate of iodine. She set up the experiment with an artificial cell made of a clear, thin membrane that behaves like a cell membrane. Three artificial cells were filled with starch diluted with water, then submerged in three separate beakers containing water and starch indicator called iodine. Iodine turns solutions blue, in presence of starches. The first beaker had 20% iodine. The second beaker had 12% iodine, and the last beaker had 5% iodine. She set all the beakers on a window ledge. The window ledge received varying degrees of sunlight, depending on the time of day. She let cells submerge in the iodine solutions for 60 minutes. The scientist wrote the following hypothesis: If iodine concentrations increase in the beaker, then the solution inside the artificial cells would turn darker blue. After a period of 60 minutes time, the following observations were made: Color of the contents inside the artificial membrane 20% iodine 12% iodine 5% iodine Dark blue Blue Light blue The scientist concluded that increasing concentrations of iodine in the beaker increases the rate of diffusion of iodine into the artificial membrane. 168 P a g e

20 Common Core Practice Discuss all errors in this experimental design. Are all the controls in place? In what ways could the experiment be redesigned or improved for better accuracy? Help explain the scientist s data, using your knowledge of cell membranes and diffusion. P a g e 169

21 WANTED! The Cell Membrane (a.k.a., The Plasma Membrane, Selectively Permeable Membrane Semipermeable Membrane, Phospholipid Bilayer and Fluid Mosaic Model ) Wanted for aiding and abetting certain molecules across the membrane. For this, the cell membrane has earned its alias, Selectively or Semi permeable Membrane. Only certain molecules are allowed across the membrane, while others are not. Height: Between 3 and 10 nanometers. If you are on the lookout, be warned: You will need an electron microscope to see the membrane. Known Accomplices: The cell membrane was last seen surrounding every living cell. It is known to surround bacterial cells, as well as plant and animal cells. In addition to making up the outer membranes of cells, phospholipids surround every membrane-bound organelle. Identifying Features: The cell membrane primarily consists of Phospholipids, always arranged so that the hydrophobic (water- fearing ) tails of the phospholipid face another tail from another phospholipid. The phospholipids are fairly slippery, and do not stick to neighboring phospholipids. This property gives a plasma-like or fluid appearance to the membrane. Embedded within the membrane (which is mostly made up of phospholipids) are cholesterols (making the membrane less fluid) and large proteins that help with many different functions. Carbohydrate side chains are also often found on the outer surface of the membrane. 170 P a g e

22 Cell Membrane Reading Comprehension Read the Wanted column on the previous page to answer the questions below. How did the cell membrane earn each of the following aliases? 1. Plasma membrane: 2. Selectively permeable membrane: 3. Semipermeable membrane: 4. Phospholipid bilayer: 5. Fluid mosaic model: Use the features listed below to identify the structures that are found in cell membranes: A. Phospholipid B. Carbohydrate side-chain C. Glycoprotein D. Membrane Protein E. Inside of Cell F. Outside of Cell G. Hydrophobic Region H. Hydrophilic Region P a g e 171

23 Different Types of Solutions Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow. Whenever the concentration of a dissolved substance is higher on one side of a membrane than on the other, there is a concentration gradient. Movement of water across the membrane depends on this concentration gradient. In osmosis water flows into and out of a cell until the concentration of water molecules is equal on each side of the cell membrane. At this point the flow of molecules into and out of the cell is in a state of equilibrium. In an isotonic solution the concentration of solute outside the cell is the same as that inside the cell. If a cell is placed in an isotonic solution, the rate of diffusion of water into the cell is exactly the same as the rate of diffusion of water out of the cell. In a hypotonic solution the concentration of solute outside the cell is lower than that inside the cell. Cells placed in a hypotonic solution swell up because water moves from the solution into the cell until the solutions inside and outside the cell are equal in concentration. In a hypertonic solution the concentration of the solute outside the cell is greater than that inside the cell. Cells placed in a hypertonic solution shrivel up and lose their shape because more water flows out of the cells than into them. The diagrams below represent the three types of solutions: isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic. 1. Indicate which type of solution is shown in each of the three diagrams above. A. B. C. 2. Which diagram, A, B, or C, shows no concentration gradient? 3. Which diagram, A, B, or C, represents a situation in which the cell will decrease in size and lose its shape? 4. In each of the diagrams, use an arrow to indicate if there is a net flow of water into or out of the cell. 172 P a g e

29 Real Life Application of Cell Transport A report in the 23 April 1998 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine tells of the lifethreatening complications that can be caused by an ignorance of osmosis. Large volumes of a solution of 5% human albumin (a protein in the blood) are injected into people undergoing a procedure called plasmapheresis. The albumin is dissolved in physiological saline (0.9% NaCl) and is therefore isotonic to human plasma (the large protein molecules of albumin have only a small osmotic effect). If 5% solutions are unavailable, pharmacists may substitute a proper dilution of a 25% albumin solution. Mixing 1 part of the 25% solution with 4 parts of diluent (a substance that something else is dissolved in) results in the correct 5% solution of albumin. BUT, in several cases, the diluent used was sterile water, not physiological saline. SO, the resulting solution was strongly hypotonic to human plasma. The Result: Massive, life-threatening hemolysis (releasing blood into the surrounding body fluids) in the patient. Draw a picture of what is happening in a patient s cells in the space provided below, use arrows to show the net flow of water: Patient s red blood cell in physiological saline Patient s red blood cell in sterile water Based upon this, what do you think the symptoms of hemolysis would be? 178 P a g e

30 Understanding Diffusion and Permeability: Plasmolysis Lab ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE: To understand how materials move from areas of greater concentration to areas of lower concentration through diffusion, through a permeable membrane. MATERIALS: Microscope glass slide 2 coverslips 2 Elodea leaves water 6% salt solution HYPOTHESIS: If a freshwater leaf is placed in salt water, then water will flow (into or out of) the leaf cells. PROCEDURE 1. Prepare a wet mount of two elodea leaves on the same slide. Use 2 drops of tap water on one leaf, and 2 drops of salt water on the other leaf. Cover each with a cover slip.
