ACTIVITY 1 Simulating Dialysis (Simple Diffusion) 1. Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. __The size and the concentration. ___ 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? __ The molecules were to large to go through. My results matched._ 3. Describe the results of the attempts to diffuse glucose and albumin through the 200 MWCO membrane. How well did the results compare with your

Some potatoes increased in mass while others decreased due to osmosis. Potatoes that had a higher concentration increased in mass because water passed through the membrane into the potato in an effort to dilute it. Potatoes that had a lower concentration than the solution decreased in mass because water flowed through

minutes and record your observations in the data table 5. While you are waiting‚ answer the questions. Questions: 1. Define diffusion – the movement of particles from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration 2. Define osmosis - the movement of particles from low solute concentration to and area of high solute concentration across a semi-permeable membrane. 3. Why is iodine called an “indicator”? Iodine is called an indicator because it can detect the presence of

The results provide evidence that when there was an increase in the sodium chloride concentration the mass of the potato prisms declined. At the zero percent concentration there was an increase of mass by 1.75%‚ from there the 1%‚ 3%‚ 5% and 10% begun on a downward trend with the percentage change in mass declining. The graph was on a steady decline from 0% being the highest point with a change of mass of 1.75% finishing with the 10% solution on a decline of -12.28%. From observing the scatter plot

the process by which organisms balance water‚ or solvent‚ concentrations with salt‚ or solute‚ concentrations in tissues and cells (Campbell). Organisms must perform this process of regulation because of the “Fick’s Law of Diffusion”‚ also called osmosis‚ which states that‚ “The flow of solvent from a solution of lower solute concentration to one of higher solute concentration” will occur. This means that in an organism water will cross a semi-permeable layer‚ tissues in cell walls in this case‚ from

one result of this molecular movement. Diffusion is the random movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion where water moves through a selectively permeable membrane (a membrane that only allows certain molecules to diffuse though). Diffusion or osmosis occurs until dynamic equilibrium has been reached. This is the point where the concentrations in both areas are equal and no net movement will occur from one

you be able to observe any diffusion? NO there is no diffusion taking place 5. Does being unable to observe diffusion necessarily mean that diffusion is not taking place? yes you should be able to tell when equilibrium is reached Osmosis Activity 4: Osmosis 1. Did you observe any pressure changes during the experiment? If so‚ in which beaker(s)‚ and with which membranes? Yes in the left beaker at the membrane 20 2. Why? 3. Did the Na+/Cl- diffuse from the left beaker to the right
Premium Diffusion Osmosis Molecular diffusion
ACTIVITY ONE- Cell Transport Mechanisms and Permeability: Simulating Dialysis (Simple Diffusion) 1. Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. Molecular weight affects the rate of diffusion because the bigger the size of the molecule the longer it will take to diffuse. Membrane size is another variable that affects the rate of diffusion because if the membrane’s pores are small it will take molecules longer to diffuse though it than if the pores were larger. Also‚ membrane thickness
