Exercise 1 Cell Transport Mechanisms and Permeability Name ____________________________________________________________ Lab Time/Date ______________________________ Activity 1 Simulating Dialysis (Simple Diffusion) 1. Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. * The size of the pores of the membrane * The size of the molecule diffusing through the membrane 2. Why do you think the urea was not able to diffuse through the 20 MWCO membrane? How well did the results

relatively quickly through by dissolving in the lipid layer. Water needs to pass through via osmosis where as water-soluble substances cross the membrane through simple diffusion‚ facilitated diffusion and active transport. Osmosis is thought of as the diffusion of water from an area of high concentration of water molecules to an area of low concentration‚ across a partially permeable membrane. To define osmosis more accurately we define it in terms of water potential. Water potential is a measure of

environment channel protein forms channels for substances to move across a membrane concentration gradient a gradual change in the concentration of solutes in a solution as a function of distance through a solution. crenation A process resulting from osmosis in which red blood cells‚ in a hypertonic solution‚ undergo shrinkage and acquire differentially permeable some substances pass through freely while other do not-small uncharged molecules pass through the cell membrane following their concentration

from a more to a less concentrated area. Meaning if there was more oxygen on one side of the membrane and the membrane was permeable to oxygen‚ the oxygen would pass through to the side of less oxygen. Osmosis is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane. Diffusion and osmosis is important for organisms because our nutrients‚ oxygen‚ and etc.‚ need diffusion to go through compartments. I predicted that the more the concentrated the alcohol solution was the mass would increase

In this lab‚ homeostasis will be studied upon the two eggs in corn syrup and distilled water‚ and in each sucrose solution with different amounts of molarity. Homeostasis is the maintenance of balance between an organism or cell and its environment. Without homeostasis‚ many important aspects of the body such as body temperature‚ blood sugar‚ heart rate‚ blood rate‚ and pH of blood would not be kept at the proper balance. This could eventually result in death due to improper amounts of certain substances

concentration to a region of lower concentration. Diffusion is the net movement of molecules down their concentration gradient. Diffusion can occur in gases‚ in liquids‚ or through solids. Osmosis is the process of water moving across the membrane from an area of high concentration to low concentration. Osmosis is a special case of diffusion where now water is moving across the membrane. [3]This process continues until both sides of the membrane are at a dynamic equilibrium state. A hypertonic solution

use our results to help us determine the water potential of plant tissue. This overall flow of water from a dilute area of high water potential to a more concentrated solution of low water potential across a partially permeable membrane is called osmosis. I predicted that the swede cylinders which are put in a test tube with a low potential of sucrose solution would become turgid because the water molecules that are present in the swede will move away from an area of higher potential of water molecules

gradient must be suitable with the pore size of each membrane because the loss of permeate flow is an undesirable condition for this experiment. After finishing the experiment‚ the volume of water collected increases according to the sequence of reverse osmosis‚ nanofiltration‚ microfiltration and ultrafitration.
