Osmosis

In simple words, osmosis is the slow, gradual movement of a liquid through a membrane. But there are nuances to this process. For instance, there has to be an imbalance in the distribution of solute in the liquid on either side of the membrane, which has to be semipermeable. The liquid in the region with a lower solute concentration moves to the region with a higher concentration, thereby displacing the solution in the process. The objective is to equalize the concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane; the displacement of liquid can be viewed as a byproduct of this equalization. Since there is no energy required to carry osmosis, it is considered a passive process.

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?

3. Quantitative – diffusion rate: Humans rely on their lungs to supply oxygen to their bodies. Each lungis made up of over 300 million alveoli or air sacs that provide a total surface area of 75 m2 over whichoxygen can diffuse. However, the recent COVID pandemic has caused problems both during and afterinfection for oxygen delivery. a. During COVID, patients can get pneumonia, where the lungs can partially fill with fluid. Thiscauses coughing but also prevents that part of the lung from absorbing oxygen. If 35% of thealveoli were filled with fluid, how much of the lung area (in m2) would still be functioning? b. How would the oxygen diffusion rate for the pneumonia patient compare with that of a normalperson? Write out and solve for the diffusion rate ratio. c. Sometimes people with severe pneumonia are given an oxygen canula to augment their breathing.Normal oxygen concentrations in the lung are 100 mm Hg of O2 (this is the partial pressure whichis proportional to concentration as…
