Ionic Relations of Nitella translucens
The ionic state of single internodal cells of a fresh water characean, Nitella translucens, has been studied. In mature cells the vacuolar concentrations were 78 mM K, 60 mM Na, and 151 mM Cl, compared with concentrations of 0.1 mM K, 1.0 mM Na, and 1.3 mM Cl in the bathing medium. The results suggest an active influx of potassium and an active efflux of sodium at the plasmalemma, and an active...
متن کاملPlasmodesmata in Nitella translucens: structure and electrical resistance.
Electrical resistance measurements, made with intracellular microelectrodes on a system consisting of two giant internodal cells of Nitella translucent joined by a node, show that the specific resistance of the node is 50 times smaller than the specific resistance of the internodal cell plasmalemma. The node is a complex structure of small cells which separate the internodal cells by a single l...
متن کاملFactors Affecting the Fluxes of Potassium and Chloride Ions in Nitella translucens
A more complete study of ionic concentrations and fluxes in the giant internodal cells of Nitella translucens has been made. The vacuolar concentrations were 76 mM K and 170 mM Cl. The content of the chloroplast layer was 135 mmicromoles K/cm(2) and 215 mmicromoles Cl/cm(2); in a layer 9 micro thick these correspond to concentrations of 150 mM K and 240 mM Cl. Such a high level of chloride requ...
متن کاملToxicological studies of pesticides on cytoplasmic streaming in Nitella.
In the present study, changes in velocity of cytoplasmic streaming in the giant internodal cells of Nitella for varying concentration of the pesticides, 2,4-D, dieldrin, malathion, methyl parathion and endosulfan, were measured. Marked decrease in the velocity of cytoplasmic streaming was found at the concentrations of 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 and 100mM. Dieldrin was the most toxic to all the pesticide...
متن کاملCytoplasmic pH measurement and homeostasis in bacteria and archaea.
Of all the molecular determinants for growth, the hydronium and hydroxide ions are found naturally in the widest concentration range, from acid mine drainage below pH 0 to soda lakes above pH 13. Most bacteria and archaea have mechanisms that maintain their internal, cytoplasmic pH within a narrower range than the pH outside the cell, termed "pH homeostasis." Some mechanisms of pH homeostasis a...
