Dialysis Tubing Lab Report
After the dialysis tubing soaked in the distilled water overnight, the measurements showed that the dialysis tubing increased in mass. The initial weight of the dialysis tubing was 19.08 grams, but it went up to 19.34 grams after sitting in the distilled water for some time. The amount of distilled water in the beaker also decreased. There used to be 200 mL of distilled water in the beaker, but it decreased to 199 mL after the dialysis tubing soaked in it. The data collected supports the claim that water moves into the dialysis tubing to try to even out the concentration. In this experiment, the dialysis tubing is used in place of a red blood cell. In this case then, the data collected supports the claim that red blood cells appear bigger because

    of dialysis tubing, 25 mL of sucrose solutions with concentrations of 0.02 Molar, 0.04M, 0.06M, 0.08M, 1.0M, as well as 25mL of distilled water, six 250 mL beakers, a balance, and paper towels. We first cut the dialysis tubing into 6 pieces, each 1ft. long, and placed them into a beaker of water. We then tied off the dialysis tubing and poured 25 mL of distilled water in. We repeated this with the rest of the five pieces dialysis tubing, pouring a different molarity of sucrose solution in different dialysis tubes. After all the tubes were filled and tied, we then dried the bags and weigh each one on the scale. After all the data was recorded, we filled all the beakers about ¾ full of distilled water, placed the bags into each beaker in unison, and waited 30 minutes. Next, the bags were removed from the beakers, dried, and weighed separately. We expected the mass to increase with increasing molarity because with the higher the concentrations, more water would need to be diffused into the bag to reach…

    If the four dialysis tubes containing different concentrations of sucrose are all placed in their appropriate solutions for 20 minutes, then my predictions are as follows: The 1% in 1% sugar solution will keep a constant weight and stay the same size. The 1% in 50% solution will shrink, due to the higher concentration of sugar outside of the bag. The 20% in 1% solution will swell, due to the higher concentration inside of the bag, and the 50% in 1% solution will do the same.…

    Figure 1 shows the average amount of absorbance for each tube, containing different levels of pH. Tube 2 had an acidic pH level, Tube 3 had a neutral pH level, and Tube 4 had a basic pH level. It is indicated that the absorbance rates were the highest for the neutral pH level, with a final absorbance rate of 0.166. This was followed by a basic pH (0.106). The acidic pH level had the least amount of absorbance with a final absorbance rate of 0.069. This reinforces the idea that the ALP enzyme worked best under conditions with a neutral pH and worked the least in an acidic pH environment.…

    A way to relate this to the real world is that people could use the concept of osmosis to make more accurate administering IVs to put into patients in hospitals. Osmosis is extraordinarily important in the biological processes where the solvent is water. This transport of water and molecules across the membranes is essential to many processes in living organisms and keeping them healthy. In general, this experiment helped understand the different ways osmosis works and how concentration can change the weight of…

    Part 1 sought to measure the movement of water in response the addition of various concentrations of NaCl. It was hypothesised that as the concentration of NaCl increases, then the amount of lysis of the red blood cells would decrease. Part 2 aimed to determine how permeable red blood cell membranes were to various solutes. It was hypothesised that as the lipid solubility of solutes (Kether) increases, as does the permeability coefficient. Part 3 of the experiment aimed to produce and measure diffusion potentials across two different membranes of semi-permeability. It was hypothesised that as the voltage increases, as does the log of the concentration gradient.…

    10) The distilled water would have a higher concentration of water molecules and would also have a higher water potential. The red blood cells would increase in size because water is moving from the area of higher water potential (the distilled water) to the area of lower water potential (the red blood cells) until dynamic equilibrium is reached.…

    Water Flow Across Cell Membranes

    This experiment will identify the movement and exchange of water through semipermeable membranes and the recognizable amount of cellular destruction possible as a result in this change of environment. Tested were different samples of mammalian red blood cells (RBC) which were microscopically analyzed and measured for absorbency rates with a spectrophotometer when introduced to the various solute concentrations of 0.6% salt (Na), 0.897% Na, 5.0% Na, and distilled water with a 0.0% Na solute concentration. My hypothesis is that cellular form and contents will either change or maintain form and consistency when introduced to these various different environments as osmosis occurs until a dynamic equilibrium has been reached between the membrane and its environment. It was found that when RBC’s are introduced to various solute concentrates their form and consistency did changed with highest amount of hemolysis evident in the distilled water 0% Na concentration with an absorbency rate of 2.091% and the lowest amount of hemolysis occurring…
