1- Explain how Brownian movement exemplifies diffusion. The Brownian movement is random movement of microscopic particles suspended in a fluid‚ caused by bombardment of the particles by molecules of the fluid. First observed in 1827‚ it provided strong evidence in support of the kinetic theory of molecules. The diffusion is a form of Brownian movement‚ or we can say The Brownian movement leads to diffusion in three different types‚ where the particles move from high concentration to low concentration

Mechanisms and Permeability Simple Diffusion The following refer to Activity 1: Simulating Dialysis (Simple Diffusion). Which solute(s) were able to pass through the 20 MWCO membrane? NONE 1. According to your results‚ which solute had the highest molecular weight? Albumin 2. Which solute displayed the highest rate of diffusion through the 200 MWCO membrane? Na+Cl 3. Using the data from Chart 1‚ explain the relationship between the rate of diffusion and the size of the solute. The

Time/Date ______________________________ Activity 1 Simulating Dialysis (Simple Diffusion) 1. Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. * The size of the pores of the membrane * The size of the molecule diffusing through 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? * Because the pores of the membrane were not large enough * I predicted this correctly.

__Christopher Scott_ Lab Time/Date ___1/15/2014 Activity 1 Simulating Dialysis (Simple Diffusion) 1. 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 plasma membrane with a higher lipid content is less permeable to water; however‚ it (more

Excretion in Humans Excretion is the removal of toxic materials‚ the waste products of metabolism and substance in excess of requirements from organisms. Metabolism is chemical reactions taking place inside cells‚ including respiration. The body excretes three main waste materials. These are Carbon Dioxide‚ Urea and Water. Excretion is a very important feature to us because without it toxic substances will build up in our bodies and kill us. It also helps in maintaining the composition of body

temperatures the enzymes will stop working. (Steadyheatlh‚ 2004) Dialysis is the artificial process of getting rid of waste (diffusion) and unwanted water from the blood. This process is naturally done by our kidneys. Some people‚ however‚ may have failed or damaged kidneys which cannot carry out the function properly‚ they may need dialysis. (Ungar‚ 2012) Patients with renal failure experience a lot of imbalances while receiving dialysis. Electrolyte imbalances are the most common‚ usually presenting

Lab Time/Date: Friday 8am Activity 1 Simulating Dialysis (Simple Diffusion) 1. Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. a. Molecular weight b. Solute 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? a. Urea was unable to diffuse through the 20MWCO membrane because urea is a big molecule and the 20MWCO membrane pore size was too small for Urea. My predication
