Analysis During the experiment‚ a dialysis bag was used to mimic a cell membrane. Two ways why this model realistically represents a cell is because the dialysis bag is semi-permeable‚ like a cell. The bag was able to allow water in‚ as the size of the water molecule was small enough to be able to fit through the pores of the bag. Sucrose was not able to pass through as the molecules were too big to enter. This is similar to a cell because the size of a molecule can determine whether or not the

Raisha Miggins Lab 5: Osmosis Purpose The purpose of this lab was to explore the concept of Osmosis using dialysis tubing and different concentrations of sucrose solutions‚ and to help one better understand what happens to cells when they are exposed to solutions of differing tonicities. Hypothesis 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

When I was a kid back then I was dreaming of going to America. My parents advises me to study hard and pick a profession that is in demand every part of the world. I was so not prepared on what profession that is in demand so my sister Belinda who was studying Nursing at The University of Santo Tomas encouraged me to follow her footstep. I was contemplating to take Medicine but my brother Manolo who was an Intern at the Jose Reyes Memorial Hospital in Manila was complaining of sleepless night

Introduction In Diffusion‚ Dialysis & Osmosis lab‚ we discovered that we were going to observe and understand the conditions under which diffusion‚ dialysis‚ and osmosis occur. Then we constructed models of diffusion‚ dialysis‚ and osmosis. We predicted that the direction of change would be from the membrane to the beaker. We understood how these processes affected the selectivity of the cell membrane. The second part of the lab was dealing with dialysis. In this part we studied starch and sodium

1. The hypothesis if water is added to the cup then the mass and volume will decrease because water will go into the tubing to decrease solute concentration was supported by the data found in Table 1 and 2 because the cup holding the dialysis tubing with the protein solution’s mass decreased by 7.61 grams and the volume decreased by 17.3 milliliters while the mass of the cup with the tubing holding glucose solution also decreased by 1.19 grams and the volume decreased by 2.2 milliliters (Emma Ricks
