Name ___
Lab Time/Date ___
Activity 1 Simulating Dialysis (Simple Diffusion)
1. Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. ___
___
2. Why do you think the urea was not able to diffuse through the 20 MWCO membrane? How well did the results compare with your prediction? ___
3. Describe the results of the attempts to diffuse glucose and albumin through the 200 MWCO membrane. How well did the results compare with your prediction? ___
___
4. Put the following in order from smallest to largest molecular weight: glucose, sodium chloride, albumin, and urea. ___
___
Activity 2 Simulated Facilitated Diffusion
1. Explain one way in which facilitated diffusion is the same as simple diffusion and one way in which it differs.___
___
2. The larger value obtained when more glucose carriers were present corresponds to an increase in the rate of glucose transport. Explain why the rate increased. How well did the results compare with your prediction? ___
___
3. Explain your prediction for the effect Na+Cl− might have on glucose transport. In other words, explain why you picked the choice that you did. How well did the results compare with your prediction? ___
Activity 3 Simulating Osmotic Pressure
1. Explain the effect that increasing the Na+Cl− concentration had on osmotic pressure and why it has this effect. How well did the results compare with your prediction? ___
___
2. Describe one way in which osmosis is similar to simple diffusion and one way in which it is different. ___
___
3. Solutes are sometimes measured in milliosmoles. Explain the statement, “Water chases milliosmoles.” ___
___
4. The conditions were 9 mM albumin in the left beaker and 10 mM glucose in the right beaker with the 200 MWCO membrane in place. Explain the results. How well did the results compare with your prediction? ___
___
Activity 4 Simulating Filtration
1. Explain in your own
