One: 1. The two major variables that affect the rate of diffusion: a. The composition of the lipid bilayer (eg. more cholesterol‚ less permeability to polar substances) b. The structure of the molecule undergoing diffusion (eg. steric conformation‚ size‚ polarity‚ amount and strength of hydrogen bonding) 2. Urea was not able to diffuse through the 20 MWCO because the pores of the membrane were too small for the urea to pass through. The molecular weight of urea is 60.06 g/mol‚ over three times

How does diffusion affect the rate of growth? If I placed a gummy bear in various solutions‚ then the gummy bear would change in size‚ because diffusion and osmosis cause the gummy bear to react to the solution’s molecules‚ and further affects the gummy bear’s mass. An experimental lab conducted in class was tested‚ essentially to observe the effects of diffusion/osmosis. More specifically‚ according to‚ “merriam-webster.com/dictionary/diffusion‚” the process of diffusion causes particles to spread

One purpose of the experiment was to gain an understanding of diffusion and osmosis‚ specifically in context of a plant or animal cell reaction to an isotonic‚ hypotonic‚ or hypertonic solution. Another objective was to understand the nuances of simple diffusion‚ facilitated diffusion‚ and active transport and to explicate the characteristics affecting the rates of diffusion. The next objective was to be able to explicate the partition coefficient and its influence on hemolysis. The final objective

The purpose of this lab was to observe how molarity concentration affects diffusion.The lab was primarily based on osmosis and diffusion. Diffusion is when the movement of molecules from a high concentration that go to a low concentration to a high concentration to eventually reach an equilibrium. Osmosis is when water will diffuse from high water concentration to low water concentration to reach equilibrium. When the solutions are different the lower concentration solute is hypotonic while the higher

The Rate of Diffusion in Different Temperatures Purpose: To see if the temperature of a solution will change the rate blue diffuses in it. This will be tested by timing how long it takes dye to diffuse in warm water‚ cold water‚ and room temperature water. Hypothesis: I think that the dye will diffuse at a faster rate in the warm water than in the cold water. I believe that the room temperature water will have the dye diffuse faster than the cold water but slower than the warm water. Variable:

The trans-Saharan trade routes were a vast trade network that reached across the continent‚ on which diverse goods and resources were traded‚ and knowledge‚ ideas‚ and religion spread in a phenomenon known as cultural diffusion. Cultural diffusion that occurred along the trans-Saharan trade routes shaped the development of culture in medieval Africa. The trans-Saharan trade routes provided African people access to goods and resources that were not local to their
