Where is the water moving? • The water is moving out of the cell. • Why? • Remember where ever salt is water follows! Salt SALT
Where is the water moving? • Water is moving out of the cell. • Why? • Because where ever salt is water follows.
Light blue = Salt Dark blue = water
There is a lot of salt out side the cell what will happen? Why?
What will happen if there is a lot of salt inside the cell?
• Normal Red Onion Cells • In Salt Water • What happened to the cytoplasm and cell membrane?
Making The Cell What is located inside the cell in the beginning? • Starch, Glucose, and Water.
This is what the experiment looks like in the beginning • Water and Starch Indicator Solution are located on the outside of the cell. • Starch and Glucose are located inside the cells.
What’s happening after the 1 st 10 minutes? • The cell is starting to turn blue black • Why? • Because Starch Indicator solution is moving across the membrane.
Is This The Final or Initial State?
Label The Contents Of Your Cells • Initial State H 20 and Starch Indicator Solution Starch and Glucose • Final State H 20, Glucose, & Starch Indicator Solution Glucose, Starch, and Starch Indicator Solution
7) In the initial state diagram below, Starch Indicator Solution is indicted by the letters “I”. The letters “S” Stand for Starch and G for Glucose. Indicate the areas where each of these molecules are located in both diagrams. I I I I S G S G S S G G S I I I I III I G I G I G SG I GI S S G IG IS GI SI S IS I G I G I
Question #1 • During the lab, one • The outside of the cell group of students would turn blue black messed up. They instead of the inside poured the starch of the cell. indicator solution into the cell and filled the beaker with starch and glucose solution. State what their results would look like.
What Went Wrong?
Question #2 • Plant cell in salt environment. • Normal plant cell • The salt would damage or kill the plants. The salt environment would cause water to move out of the http: //ccollege. hccs. edu/instru/Biology/Wagle/Plasmolysis. swf plant cell
Question # 3 • When a person is given an I. V. , the fluid has a little salt in it just like our blood. • Explain how the use of distilled water in place of saline solution would up set homeostasis.
Question # 4 • Homeostasis would be upset because their would be more salt inside a cell then outside a cell. The water would move into the cell causing it to burst.
Question # 5 • Fresh water fish have a contractile vacuole which pump out extra water. Explain why once celled organism in salt water would not need a contractile vacuole? • Contractile vacuoles are of no value to salt water organisms because there is no excess water to be removed. Salt Water Fresh Water
Question #6 • Why does eating popcorn make you thirsty? • Popcorn is very salty and may cause water to leave the cells of your mouth and through due to diffusion. This makes a person thirsty.
6) Why is the digestion of starch to glucose necessary? • Starch is big and must be broken down into glucose so it can diffuse across a cell membrane. Glucose is small enough to diffuse across a cell membrane. Glucose Starch (carbohydrate)
