isotonic: to make sure the cells dont burst due to net flow of water into them that a hypertonic buffer can cause, or shrivel up, which a hypotonic buffer can cause.

buffered: to make sure the chloroplasts are kept at their physiological pH, which ensures that the key enzymes, proteins and other components of the cholorplasts retain their functionality.

Calculate the isotonic coefficient for NaCl if a 07M of NaCl solution equaled the hemolysis of14M glucose solution?

The isotonic coefficient for NaCl can be calculated by dividing the concentration of the glucose solution (14M) by the concentration of the NaCl solution (0.7M). This gives an isotonic coefficient of 20 for NaCl, meaning that a solution of 0.7M NaCl is isotonic with a 14M glucose solution with respect to hemolysis.

What does extraction buffer do?

The most likely function of the extraction buffer would be to maintain an isotonic environment that favors the stability of the protein. An isotonic solution mimics the ionic environment if the cell and therefore would keep the protein in a stable form during the process of extraction. Proteins undergo changes in different ionic environments (different pH's) and it is essential to keep them in a stable form.


Is D5W Isotonic or Hypertonic?
