Why do you think equilibrium wasn’t reached? The membrane proteins were saturated. sodium is not required for glucose transport in the simulation.
Why do you think there’s no pressure change?
Why do you think there was no pressure change? There is no net movement of water because the solute concentrations are the same. Which membrane did not allow Na+ Cl- to pass through? equilibrium is reached.
What effect do you think adding NaCl have on the glucose transport rate?
What effect do you think adding Na+Cl- will have on the glucose transport rate? Increasing the NaCl will increase the osmotic pressure. because water needs to diffuse to the higher concentration gradient until equilibrium is reached.
When diffusion stops we say it has reached?
Simple diffusion stops when equilibrium is reached. This means that diffusion will only occur while there is an area where the substance is more highly concentrated. Once both sides of the membrane have an equal concentration of the substance, diffusion will stop.
Why didn’t albumin diffuse into the dialysate even though there was a concentration gradient?
The results were that half of the glucose diffused from the right beaker to the left beaker, following its concentration gradient; some water diffused from the right beaker to the left beaker because the left beaker had a higher solute concentration; and albumin did not move because it was too large to get through the.
What does water chases Milliosmoles mean?
Water chases milliosomoles can be explained or translated to mean that water goes in its diffusion towards a higher concentration of solutes down a gradient. The conditions were 9 mM albumin in the left beaker and 10 mM glucose in the right beaker with the 200 MWCO membrane in place.
What effect do you think increasing the Na?
Increasing the NaCl will increase the osmotic pressure. because water needs to diffuse to the higher concentration gradient until equilibrium is reached.
Why did the sodium transport stop before the transport was completed?
Why did the sodium transport stop before the transport was completed? You correctly answered: The ATP was depleted.
What effect did the addition of glucose have on Na+ transport?
The addition of glucose carriers had no effect on sodium or potassium transport because the potassium and sodium ions move through primary active transport. Glucose carriers move glucose molecules across the membrane so the sodium and potassium ions will not be affected.
Which of the following would not affect the rate of facilitated diffusion?
You correctly answered: Movement is passive and down a concentration gradient. You correctly answered: all of the above. Which of the following would not affect the rate of facilitated diffusion? You correctly answered: the amount of intracellular ATP.
What causes diffusion?
Diffusion is how smells spread out through the air and how concentrated liquids spread out when placed in water. Diffusion happens on its own when the particles spread out from an area of high concentration , where there are many of them, to areas of low concentration where there are fewer of them.
Which of the following has no effect on the speed of diffusion?
The amount of energy available for transport molecules does not affect the rate of diffusion.
Is the movement of particles by diffusion without energy?
If no energy is required for substances to pass through the membrane, the process is called passive transport.
How does Mwco affect filtrate concentration explain the relationship?
Explain the relationship. Your Answer: The MWCO had no affect on the filtrate concentration. As long the MWCO is high enough to allow both the solute and water to pass through, water would pass through the pores at the same rate as the solutes, and thus the concentration of the filtrate would not change.
Which of the following is not a reason why a solute would require facilitated diffusion?
The movement of a given solute usually occurs in both directions (into and out of the cell). Which of the following is NOT a reason why a solute would require facilitated diffusion? The solute directly requires ATP for its transport. The solute is too large to pass on its own.
How does diffusion maintain homeostasis?
Diffusion helps maintain homeostasis by creating specific concentrations of molecules inside the body compared to outside.
What are 2 variables that affect the rate of diffusion?
Several factors affect the rate of diffusion of a solute including the mass of the solute, the temperature of the environment, the solvent density, and the distance traveled.
How is osmosis different to simple diffusion?
Osmosis only allows solvent molecules to move freely, but diffusion allows both solvent and solute molecules to move freely. 4. Osmosis happens when molecules move from higher to lower concentrations, but diffusion happens when it is reversed.
What are the two main variables that affect the filtration rate?
Both glomerular capillary hydrostatic pressure and renal blood flow are important determinants of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
What will happen if you increase the pressure above the beaker?
What will happen if you increase the pressure above the beaker (the driving pressure)? The filtration rate will increase.
Do you think the addition of glucose carriers?
Predict Question 2: Do you think the addition of glucose carriers will affect the transport of sodium or potassium? Your answer : d. No, it will not affect the transport of either ion.
Which of the following would result in no change in osmotic pressure?
Which of the following would result in NO change in osmotic pressure across a membrane? Water is moving with its concentration gradient. The solutes can diffuse through the pores and the concentration of solutes is the same on both sides of the membrane.
What effect do you think boiling and freezing will have on the activity of the amylase enzyme?
Your answer: Boiling will decrease amylase activity and freezing will have no effect.
What affects diffusion rate?
The greater the difference in concentration, the quicker the rate of diffusion. The higher the temperature, the more kinetic energy the particles will have, so they will move and mix more quickly. The greater the surface area, the faster the rate of diffusion.
Is urea bigger than sodium?
Urea diffused more slowly because it is larger than sodium.
