Osmosis is a specialised form of diffusion. Water moves from an area of LOW concentration of Solute to an area of HIGH concentration of solute through a semi-or fully permeable membrane by the process. Water moves constantly through the cell ’s membrane its estimated that about 250 times the volume of a single cell moves through 1 per second This continues until the solute concentration reaches equilibrium It is convenient to express the available energy per unit volume in terms of "osmotic

Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. ___ Two variables that affect rate of diffusion are molecule size and plasma membrane composition. A larger molecule will diffuse more slowly than a smaller molecule. The lipid content of the plasma membrane determines permeability of certain molecules. A

Activity 1: Simple diffusion Introduction: Simple diffusion is the net movement of substances from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration so its overall net movement is along the concentration gradient‚ simple diffusion does not require energy therefore it is ’passive’‚ substances are diffused across the membrane between the phospholipids. Materials and methods: * 20 mwco dialysis membrane * 50 mwco dialysis membrane * 100 mwco dialysis membrane * 200 mwco

PHYSIO EX 1 Simulating Dialysis (Simple Diffusion) 1. Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. The temperature of the solutions and the difference in concentration of the ion or molecule between the sides of the membrane 2. Why do you think the urea was not able to diffuse through the 20 MWCO membrane? How well did the results compare with your prediction? Since the chemical formula for urea is (NH2)2CO and its molecular weight is about 60. It will not diffuse through the

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

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
