Ppt slide notes from Friday October 28th 2011

For those that did not attend class Friday October the 28th the following notes were given to students during lab:

•Osmosis – movement of water across a membrane from high to low concentrations

•This is a type of diffusion:

–Which is a movement of molecules from high to low concentrations.

•Hypertonic Solutions: –Solution where there is a higher amount of solute outside the cell or a lower amount of water outside the cell.

•Hypotonic – solution where there is less solute outside the cell or more water outside the cell.

•Isotonic Solution – solution where the amount of water and solute are equal on both sides of the cell membrane.

•As the Surface Area and Volume of a cell increase their Surface Area to Volume ratio decreases because the cell has less surface area to allow for diffusion of nutrients inside the cell. This smaller Surface Area to volume to ration that arises from cells becoming larger limits cell size because the cell can not take in nutrients or expel wastes through diffusion very efficiently because it takes longer.

Cells in hypertonic solutions shrink due to movement of water out of then.

Cells in hypotonic solutions swell due to water movement into them.

Cells in isotonic solutions do not change because water is at equilibrium in and out of the cell.

As a cell becomes larger the speed of diffusion decreases for the cell.

As a cell becomes large its Surface Area to Volume ratio becomes smaller, thus the cell has more volume than surface area for diffusion.

As surface area to volume ration decreases the rate of diffusion decreases.

Fill in notes sheet portion discussing carbohydrates

Note:
Recall that large complex sugars (aka polysaccharides - starch and cellulose) are to large to simply pass through the cell membrane, therefore they must be broken down through hydrolysis by enzymes.  If by chance these enzymes are not present (or in small numbers) in your intestines, then microscopic organisms in your large intestine use the undigested complex sugars as food.  The resulting breakdown of the complex sugar during cellular respiration will release gas, thus resulting in intestinal irritation and flatchulence.

HW:
Water Quiz Tomorrow - Review Study Guide

Special Note for Quiz:
Reread "Water is Solvent" page 27-28
-Make sure to look at Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic  - I did not get to cover those specifically in class
-The reason water is such a good solvent is due to the polarity (polar covalent bonds) NOT due to cohesion or adhesion (hydrogen bonding) - all other properties are reliant on cohesion and adhesion
-The reason water is polar covalent has to do with the fact that the oxygen and hydrogen do not share the electrons equally (larger oxygen has more protons and thus attracts the shared electrons more than hydrogen, resulting in the partial negative charge on oxygen and partial positive charge on hydrogen)

Next Time:
work on papers - Due Monday
