Effects of Hexylresorcinol on Valonia
نویسنده
چکیده
The effects on Valonia of guaiacol and hexylresorcinol are similar but the latter is more effective. Both substances lower or abolish the potassium effect; i.e., the ability of the cell to distinguish electrically between Na(+) and K(+). Both substances change the order of mobilities so that v(Cl) > u(Na) becomes u(Na) > v(Cl) or u(Na) = v(Cl).

Effects of Nitrobenzene and Benzene on Valonia
The effects of nitrobenzene and of benzene resemble those of guaiacol and of hexylresorcinol. The P.D. changes in a positive direction and then in a negative direction. The latter change may bring the P.D. back to the starting point with guaiacol and hexylresorcinol but with nitrobenzene and benzene this is not always the case. The positive potential change produced by nitrobenzene and benzene ...
متن کاملEffects of Hexylresorcinol on Nitella
In some ways the effects of hexylresorcinol on Nitella resemble those of guaiacol but in others they differ. Both substances depress the P.D. reversibly and both decrease the potassium effect. Hexylresorcinol decreases the apparent mobility of Na(+) and of K(+). Guaiacol increases that of Na(+) but not of K(+). The action of hexylresorcinol is more striking than that of guaiacol since 0.0003 M ...
متن کاملEffects of Guaiacol and Hexylresorcinol in the Presence of Barium and Calcium
Guaiacol was applied at two spots on the same cell of Nitella. At one spot it was dissolved in 0.01 M NaCl, at the other in 0.01 M CaCl(2) or BaCl(2). The effect was practically the same in all cases, i.e. a similar change of P.D. in a negative direction, involving a more or less complete loss of P.D. (depolarization). When hexylresorcinol was used in place of guaiacol the result was similar. T...
متن کاملBioelectric Potentials in Valonia
In their influence on the P.D. across the protoplasm of Valonia macrophysa, Kütz., Li(+) and Cs(+) resemble Na(+), while Rb(+) and NH(4) (+) resemble K(+). The apparent mobilities of the ions in the external surface layer of Valonia protoplasm increase in the order: Cs(+), Na(+), Li(+) < Cl(-) < Rb(+) < K(+) < NH(4) (+).
متن کاملA Comparison of Acid-induced Cell Wall Loosening in Valonia ventricosa and in Oat Coleoptiles.
The acid-induced loosening of cell walls of Valonia ventricosa has been compared to that of frozen-thawed oat coleoptiles. The two acid extension responses are similar in regard to the shape of the pH response curve and the increase in plastic compliance induced by acid treatment. In both systems the acid response can be inhibited by Ca(2+) and in both the removal of the protons leads to a rapi...
