Increasing the concentration of solutes increases osmotic potential, hence water potential decreases. A. Agree, because presence of solutes increses osmotic pressure and thus osmotic potential. C. Agree, because they just represent the same values. D. Disagree, because it is the decrease in water pressure that decreases osmotic potential. B. Disagree, because presence of solutes increases osmotic pressure which decreases osmotic potential.
A) Based on the drawings above, which molecules were able to diffuse through the 150 MWCO membrane? B) Which molecules(s) were not able to diffuse? Why not? C) Which side of the chamber had the greater osmolarity/osmotic pressure and how could you tell?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged in the lungs and through all cell membranes diffusion down gradients of a. concentration b. tempertaure c. partial pressure d. ionic potential e. osmolarity
1. hyponatraemia occurs when serum sodium levels drop too much. Why do you think drinkingdeionized water would result in low blood sodium levels? (Think about solute diffusion)2. Think back to the concepts we learned in lecture. Explain why low serum sodium levelswould cause water to move into brain cells.3. According to the article, was the individual's excessive water intake related to physiologicalor psychological symptoms? Explain your reasoning4. What could have the individual added to her water to prevent this from happening, and whywould this have prevented hyponatraemia? Incorporate your knowledge of concentrationgradients and diffusion.5. Over-hydration can be treated if caught in its early stages. What do you think would be thequickest way to restore the patient's serum sodium levels?
Whether in a gas, a liquid, or a semisolid, diffusion always occurs a). at the same rate. b). from high to low solute concentration. c). faster at lower temperaturesd). from low to high solute concentration.
Differentiate between (a) Osmotic Pressure and Osmotic Potential(b) Imbibition and Diffusion
