    The document discusses several examples of movement of substances across plasma membranes in daily life applications. It describes how excessive fertilizer use can cause wilting in plants by creating hypertonic soil water. It also explains how isotonic drinks help athletes recover lost water and electrolytes through perspiration and help individuals with diarrhea recover lost fluids. Additionally, it outlines how liposomes contain aqueous solutions surrounded by membranes and are used to deliver drugs past gastric juices, and how reverse osmosis uses desalination to extract fresh water from seawater.

    ACROSS A PLASMA MEMBRANE

    Application
    in Daily Life

    A Biology I Presentation
    Phenomenon of
    plant wilting
    Excessive use of fertilisers may cause wilting
    in plants. Dissolved fertilisers will cause soil
    water to be hypertonic.

    If the period of plasmolysis is prolonged,


    wilted plants will eventually die

    Liposomes
    Saline solutions They contain aqueous solution
    surrounded by a membrane.
    They are normally used in medicine
    Liposomes are used to protect
    and contains 0.85–0.90 g sodium
    substances taken orally from being
    chloride per 100 m
    destroyed by gastric juices. This way,
    drugs can reach the target cells.
    Reverse
    osmosis
    It's is a technology commonly used
    to extract fresh water from
    seawater using the desalination
    process

    As a result, only pure fresh water is


    released
