Document Summary

Concept 44. 1: osmoregulation balances the uptake and loss of water and solutes. Inside a cell you construct, you place a 1m sugar solution. You place the cell in a 2m sugar solution. _water leaves the cell faster than it enters_. April 27, 2011: water enters the cell faster than it leaves, water leaves the cell faster than it enters, water leaves and enters at the same rate, sugar diffuses into the cell. Osmosis: the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane: water moves from an area where solute concentration is low to an area where solute concentration is high, special case of diffusion. Osmoconformers: sotonic to their surroundings, do not regulate the osmolarity. Osmoregulators: use energy to control uptake and loss of water. Stenohaline: cannot tolerate substantial changes in external osmolarity. Euryhaline: can tolerate wide fluctuations in external osmolarity. Marine bony fishes: hypoosmotic to sea water, lose water by osmosis.
