thinner the membrane the quicker the diffusion. 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? Our prediction was that urea was not going to be able to diffuse through the 20 Molecular Weight Cut Off (MWCO) membrane because urea is too big of a molecule to diffuse through the 20 MWCO membrane’s pores aren’t large enough for the urea to pass through. Our prediction was correct‚ the Urea was unable to diffuse

CELL TRANSPORT MECHANISMS AND PERMEABILITY Zack Johnson Human Anatomy & Physiology Lab 2101 Instructor: Alan Byboth‚ M.S. 10/4/12 Abstract- The cell is invaluable building block of all biological life on this planet‚ and one of its most important and unique characteristics is its ability to be selectively permeable with its plasma membrane. This outer membrane’s sophisticated mechanisms of transport through its bilayer are vital in maintaining homeostasis in the cell and the entire

Cell Transport Mechanisms and Permeability 1 EXERCISE 1 OBJECTIVES 1. To define the following terms: differential permeability‚ passive and active processes of transport‚ diffusion (simple diffusion‚ facilitated dif- fusion‚ and osmosis)‚ solute pump‚ pinocytosis‚ and phagocytosis. 2. To describe the processes that account for the movement of sub- stances across the plasma membrane‚ and to indicate the driving force for each. 3. To determine which way substances will move passively

Simple Diffusion 1. The following refer to Activity 1: Simulating Dialysis (Simple Diffusion). Which solute(s) were able to pass through the 20 MWCO membrane? None According to your results‚ which solute had the highest molecular weight? Albumin Which solute displayed the highest rate of diffusion through the 200 MWCO membrane? NACI_ Using the data from Chart 1‚ explain the relationship between the rate of diffusion and the size of the solute. The smaller the solute particle‚ the greater

Urea molecules are too large (molecular weight of Urea is 60.07 g/mol) to pass through the 20 MWCO membrane. The results of the experiment correlated with my prediction. 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 prediction? As expected‚ glucose

Predict Question 1: The molecular weight of urea is 60.07. Do you think urea will diffuse through the 20 MWCO membrane? Your answer : a. Yes‚ but very slowly. Predict Question 2: Recall that glucose is a monosaccharide‚ albumin is a protein with 607 amino acids‚ and the average molecular weight of a single amino acid is 135 g/mole. Which of the following will be able to diffuse through the 200 MWCO membrane? Your answer : c. glucose only Stop & Think Questions: The reason sodium chloride didn

do you think the urea was not able to diffuse through the 20 MWCO membrane? How well did the results compare with your prediction? a. My prediction was incorrect. I think the urea was not able to diffuse through the 20 MWCO membrane because the molecular weight of urea is about 60. This means it is above the molecular weight cut off and cannot diffuse. 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 prediction
