LAB EXERCISE: Diffusion and Osmosis Laboratory Objectives After completing this lab topic‚ you should be able to: 1. Describe the mechanism of diffusion at the molecular level. 2. List several factors that influence the rate of diffusion. 3. Explain why diffusion is important to cells. 4. Describe a selectively permeable membrane‚ and explain its role in osmosis. 5. Define hypotonic‚ hypertonic‚ and isotonic in terms of relative concentrations of osmotically active substances. 6. Discuss

Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. Size of material and 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 too large to pass through. This is what I predicted

Imagine something. Imagine being told by numerous doctors and nurses that “you are fine” or “you’re just de-conditioned” repeatedly. However‚ you know deep inside your heart you are more than just de-conditioned. For three months in seventh grade I didn’t attend school. I didn’t see my friends. I could barely get myself up and out of bed for more than a couple minutes at a time. I worked to be able to go back. Practicing things as simple as standing up or walking. Things were never back to “normal”

Simple Diffusion Activity 1: Simulating Simple diffusion 1. What is the molecular weight of Na+? 22.99 or 23 2. What is the molecular weight of Cl-? 35.45 3. Which MWCO dialysis membranes allowed both of these ions through?50‚100‚ 200 4. Which materials diffused from the left beaker to the right beaker? Urea‚ NaCl and glucose diffused 5. Which did not? Why? Albumin was too large to diffuse into the right beaker. Activity 2: Simulating Dialysis 6. What happens to the urea concentration

What defines us as humans? Calling ourselves human is our way of categorizing ourselves as a superior species. Although we are distinctly different‚ we should accept that we are in the same family as chimpanzees. Acknowledging that fact doesn ’t mean you are calling yourself a chimp. For example‚ a dog isn ’t a wolf even though they are from the same family. We are humans. What is it about our physical and behavioral traits that enable us to develop uniquely human capabilities? Traits like language

Osmosis and Diffusion During the past few weeks in my Ag Biology class we have been learning about and reviewing both osmosis and diffusion. We did two different labs‚ one on osmosis; the other on diffusion. The first lab we did was our diffusion lab. We learned that diffusion is moving something from an area of high concentration to a low concentration. We were showed that Mio and other flavor drops perform diffusion when put in water as an example. For the lab part we put a mixture of starch

DIFFUSION AND OSMOSIS: WHAT’S TO EXPECT? Diffusion and osmosis are very important in biological process. Diffusion is the movement of molecules or ions from a region of their high concentration to a region of their low concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane. To gain a better understanding of diffusion and osmosis‚ we examine multiple experiments to show diffusion and osmosis in animal cell‚ plant cell and synthetic cell. In our first experiment

Diffusion Through Membranes IB Biology 11 Diffusion Through Membranes OBJECTIVES In this experiment‚ you will Use a Conductivity Probe to measure the ionic concentration of various solutions. Study the effect of concentration gradients on the rate of diffusion. Determine if the diffusion rate for a molecule is affected by the presence of a second molecule. BACKGROUND Diffusion is a process that allows ions or molecules

Simple diffusion The term simple diffusion refers to a process whereby a substance passes through a membrane without the aid of an intermediary such as a integral membrane protein. The force that drives the substance from one side of the membrane to the other is the force of diffusion. In order for substances to pass through a cell membrane by simple diffusion it must penetrate the hydrophobic core of the phospholipid bilayer. The types of molecules that can do this are themselves substantially

There is absolutely no doubt that The Beatles are the most revolutionary band of all time. Many aspects of The Beatles have shaped the way music works today. It is apparent‚ over fifty years after the release of their first album‚ they are just as relevant as they were in the early sixties. One of the most impressive things about the group is their incredible ability to evolve‚ and I don’t just mean their hair styles. The Beatles started as a clean-cut boy band consisting of teenagers John Lennon
