Diffusion and Osmosis
Worksheet 6 (34 pts)
Background Molecules move across the selective barrier called the plasma membrane according to their
physical and chemical properties. If this process is driven by the potential energy stored in the
form of a concentration gradient, it is called passive transport
. Passive transport occurs without
any additional energy supply by the cell. Molecules move from an area of higher concentration to
an area of lower concentration in a process called diffusion
. In the first virtual lab activity, we use an artificial membrane called dialysis tubing to mimic the cell membrane. Dialysis tubing is made of cellulose (polymer of glucose) and it acts as a semipermeable barrier much like a real cell membrane. It is selective for which molecules can pass through the dialysis membrane simply based on the size of the pores found in the wall of the membrane. Small molecules will be allowed to pass through while blocking larger molecules. Virtual Labs
I. Diffusion across a selective permeable membrane 1.
(1 pt) Diffusion is a passive process that moves substances from an area of higher
concentration to an area of lower concentration.
2.
(1 pt) How do we test for the presence of starch using iodine (IKI)
? To test for the presence of starch using iodine, we must add iodine reagent to a solution.
If the solution contains starch the color will change to a deep blue; if it doesn’t, the water will have a light orange-brown color.
1
Dialysis tubing is a selectively permeable membrane made with cellulose
. The only selective criterion for a dialysis membrane is the size of the molecule- smaller molecules may go through, whereas larger molecules will not. 3.
(2 pts) Between iodine (IKI), glucose (C

), and starch, which molecule(s) are considered small and therefore likely to pass through a dialysis membrane? Iodine and glucose are considered small and therefore likely to pass through a dyalisis membrane.
4.
(2 pts) Which of these molecules will diffuse the fastest? Why? Iodine will diffuse the fastest because it has a smaller molecular size. Small molecules will be allowed to pass through while blocking large molecules.
5.
(2 pts) What do you think will happen to the solution volume inside the dialysis tubing (B) according to the above picture? Why? (Hint: can H
2
O molecules pass through the dialysis membrane?) 2
The solution volume inside the dialysis tubing according to the picture above will decrease because the tubing is semi-permeable, only small molecules can pass through the membrane.
6.
(1 pts) From the information in the virtual lab, what is the best hypothesis for this virtual lab experiment? Diffusion occurred based on molecular size. Iodine and glucose are much smaller molecules than starch; therefore, they are able to diffuse.
7.
(2 pts) Why don’t we need to use a strip to test for the presence of starch inside or outside the dialysis tubing? We don’t need to use a strip to test for the presence of starch inside or outside the dialysis tubing bacuase in the experiment, the dialysis tubing was permeable to glucose and iodine and not to starch. Starch was excluded because of its large molecular size.
II. Osmosis - Tonicity in Elodea cells (plant cells) A specific type of diffusion that deals with the movement of water molecules across the membrane down its concentration gradient is called osmosis
. Since water molecules are permeable to the cell membrane, its movement across the membrane depends on the relative concentration of solutes. Solutes are any substance that are dissolved in the solvent. The solvent
is any liquid that is capable of dissolving substances. With these definitions in mind, we can formulate the following equation to demonstrate the composition of any solution. Solution (100%) = Solvent (H
2
O %) + Solute (%) The solvent in a living system is water and the direction of water movement is dependent upon
the solute concentration across the membrane. If the membrane is permeable to water molecules
but not to solutes, water molecules will diffuse from the solution with lower solute concentration
(
hypotonic solution
) toward the solution with greater solute concentration (
hypertonic

question:
Increasing the rate of breathing is a more effective strategy to increase alveolar ventilation than increasing depth of breathing.
answer should clearly state whether or not the statement is correct and then concisely explain why. the answer should be like a few sentences and address all of the points in the statement.
Here is an example:
Both transmembrane carrier proteins and transmembrane channel proteins can mediate active transport of a hydrophilic solute through a cell plasma membrane.
This statement is incorrect. Movement of a solute through a channel protein is always passive, whereas carrier-mediated transmembrane transport can be either passive or active. A transmembrane channel protein creates a pore through the membrane allowing for simple diffusion of a hydrophilic solute down a concentration gradient through the membrane. In contrast, transmembrane carrier protein interacts with and 'escorts' a hydrophilic solute through the membrane and is capable of…

The plasma membrane protects the integrity of the interior of the cell by allowing certain substances in, while keeping other substances out.
Summarize the manner in which small molecules are permitted to pass through the membrane ensuring you explain the difference between passive, facilitated, active, and coupled transport by comparing and contrasting them.
Finally, explain the difference between endocytosis and exocytosis and provide an example of a molecule (remembering to state its function) that is transferred using this method.

Two to three drops of mouse blood samples were placed in three different vials containing 0.07 M NaCl,0.15 M NaCl, and 0.30 M NaCl. A drop from each of the three vials were obtained and put on a slide forobservation under HPO. The effects of the different osmotic concentrations on the cells are shown in figures in your worksheets.
Label the cell membrane for each figure. Give a short description (size and cell shape) for each of the RBC samples on the space provided in your worksheet. Compare their appearances with RBCs in the blood smear. Use the following guide questions in providing descriptions for each item.
Which preparation has cells that look similar as those in the blood smear? What does this indicate about the movement of water in the cells? In which solution do the cells appear differently from the normal RBCs? What part of the cell could have possibly controlled such movement of water? What is its property that allowed this movement?

Quantitative – diffusion time: Consider a spherical, single-celled organism which needs oxygen tosurvive.
a. Assume oxygen needs to diffuse from the outside of the cell to its center. Write an equation thatgives the diffusion time in terms of the cell radius.
b. The cell has a 4 micron (m) diameter, and diffusion coefficient of oxygen is 1.8 x 10-5 cm2/s inwater (assume diffusion is the same through the cell membrane). How long does it take for oxygento diffuse to the center of the cell?
c. Cells typically need key molecules such as oxygen to survive. Diffusion times of oxygen can limithow big cells can become. If the cell gets too large for oxygen to reach its center, the cell coulddie. Calculate the size of a cell at which oxygen diffusion time becomes too slow and so limits theability of the cell to get that big. Explain your assumptions. How does this compare to typical cellsizes?

A- While water can freely diffuse across the membrane, it does not do so fast enough for living organisms to function properly. Therefore, membrane proteins known as aquaporins can increase the rate at which water moves across the membrane. The movement of water across the membrane via aquaporins (which do not change shape) is an example of which type of transport?
