2. Explain the process of osmosis. What is osmolarity and how does it differ from molarity? Explain how osmolarity and tonicity differ (i.e. How can a solution be isoosmotic and yet be hypotonic to a cell?). In part two of this essay, explain how the resting membrane potential (RMP) of the cell membrane is established. What properties/characteristics of the cell membrane account for its development? What conditions or factors affect its magnitude (size)? Include a brief discussion of the Nernst equation and driving force.
