Osmosis Case study You are a veterinarian working in Indooroopilly and return from lunch to find a nurse treating a six year old kelpie‚ Baxter. Baxter is very lethargic‚ has an increased heart rate‚ and when you pinch his skin the fold remains visible. The owner tells you that they knew something was wrong when‚ upon returning to the outdoor car park from a three hour shopping trip‚ they saw Baxter passed out on the back seat. The temperature in the car would have been very high and Baxter

ACTIVITY 1: Simulating Dialysis (Simple Diffusion) Answers 1. The molecular weight of urea is approximately 60. Which of the membranes can it pass through? a. 50 MWCO membrane b. 100 MWCO membrane c. 200 MWCO membrane d. Both the 100 and 200 MWCO membranes D. Both the 100 and 200 MWCO membranes 2. True or False: A solution containing glucose will diffuse faster through a 200 MWCO membrane if it is heated. True 3. The molecular weight of carbon C is 12; the molecular weight of hydrogen

experiment‚ we are testing to see if the solution in the beaker moves into the dialysis bag. Which because of that‚ Introduction Diffusion and osmosis are two types of transport mechanisms. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from areas of higher concentrations to areas of lower concentration until the molecules are evenly distributed through the area. Osmosis is the dispersion of water. Our cells are capable of absorbing nutrients because‚ the cell membrane is selectively permeable (some molecules

Aerobic Respiration Breaking down glucose to release energy Products are Carbon dioxide and water Diffusion is … the movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a low concentration until the concentration is equal. Role of a human circulatory system: Diffuse In – oxygen (O2)‚ dissolved food (glucose) and water (H2O) Diffuse Out – carbon dioxide (CO2)‚waste and water(H2O) Respiration – releasing energy in cells Breathing – getting air into and out of your body

Which of the following is true of osmosis? Your answer : b. Movement is against the concentration gradient of water. Correct answer: c. It is a type of diffusion. 2. Which of the following occurs when a hypertonic solution is added to cells? You correctly answered: d. The cells shrink. 3. The variable

non-penetrating solutes.[2] Penetrating solutes can diffuse through the cell membrane‚ causing momentary changes in cell volume as the solutes "pull" water molecules with them. Non-penetrating solutes cannot cross the cell membrane‚ and therefore osmosis of water must occur for the solutions to reach equilibrium. A solution can be both hyperosmotic and isotonic.[2] For example‚ the intracellular fluid and extracellular can be hyperosmotic‚ but isotonic – if the total concentration of solutes in

passive transport mechanisms include diffusion‚ osmosis‚ and facilitated diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of materials from an area of most concentrated to an area of least concentrated‚ which is equal to moving down a concentration gradient. When the molecules have reached equal concentrations in both locations‚ diffusion ends and it has reached equilibrium. Molecules continue to move‚ but move in both directions equally; there is no net change! Osmosis is the movement of water. It moves water

type is active processes which use energy known as ATP to power the transport. There are two main types of passive processes called diffusion and filtration. This can be split into different types such as simple diffisuion‚ facilitated diffusion‚ osmosis and filtration. The objective of these experiments is to provide information on the passage of solutes and water through semi permeable membranes and relate them back to the study of actual living membranes in the human body. The purpose is to

Aim: To observe and describe an example of osmosis. Hypothesis: I predict that the water level will rise as the iodine stained water moves through the cellulose bag due to osmosis. The iodine is there so we can see this happening. Materials: * Dialysis(cellulose) tubing * Thistle funnel * Gas jar * Retort clamp and stand * Rubber bands * 50mL beaker * Iodine/potassium iodine solution * 5% starch solution Method: 1) Fill the gas jar to 3 quarters full with

behind diffusion and osmosis. Permeability‚ concentration gradients‚ plasmolysis‚ water potential‚ and equilibrium were also concepts that were delved into in this lab. Understanding how diffusion and osmosis works is essential to understanding biology. Each time a cell has something move into or out of it‚ some sort of principle studied in this lab is occurring. Diffusion‚ osmosis‚ and passive and active transport are all fundamental concepts of Biology. This lab simulated osmosis in the cell. In this
