Summary Introduction
To determine: The type of transportation that resulted in a change in the molarity of the glucose from 1 mol to 1.5 M and 0.5 M when two solutions having same molarity are separated by a semipermeable membrane.
Introduction: Transportation of molecules across a membrane can be of two types, active transportation and passive transportation. Active transportation requires energy for the transportation of molecules and passive transportation is concentration dependent transportation that does not require energy for transportation.

Glucose transport across cell membranes varies depending upon blood glucose levels. When glucose levels are high, glucose transport is accomplished via membrane transporters. When glucose concentrations are low, the transport of glucose across the membrane is dependent upon the sodium ion concentration. What types of transport is observed for glucose?
A)simple diffusion at high [glucose], secondary active transport at low [glucose]
B)facilitated diffusion at high [glucose], secondary active transport at low [glucose]
C)simple diffusion at high [glucose], primary active transport at low [glucose]
D)facilitated diffusion at high [glucose], primary active transport at low [glucose]
When a semipermeable sac filled with a solution containing 10% glucose is immersed in water, the fluid volume in the sac increases. What would happen if the sac solution was replaced with a 20% glucose solution?
A membrane separates Solution A and Solution B. The membrane has a permeability
of 2 x 105 cm/s to urea and has a surface area of 5 cm2. The concentration of urea in
Solution A is 2 mg/mL. The initial rate of net diffusion of urea is 1 x 104 mg/s.
What is the concentration of urea in Solution B?

- When the kidneys filter plasma, the filtered glucose is reabsorbed from the renal tubules and is not passed in the urine. However, glucose can appear in the urine when the blood sugar is exceptionally high. Given that glucose is reabsorbed by carrier-mediated transport, what functional aspect of carrier-mediated transport does the appearance of glucose in urine demonstrate? Explain.arrow_forwardWhy is ATP required for active transport?arrow_forwardA student designed an experiment to test whether different concentration gradients affect the rate of diffusion through dialysis tubing. Four different solutions (0% NaCl, 1% NaCl, 5% NaCl, and 10% NaCl) were tested under identical conditions. Twenty mL of each solution was placed into separate dialysis tubing that is permeable to Na+, Cl-, and water. Each bag was placed in a separate beaker and covered with distilled water. The concentration of NaCl in the water outside of each bag was measured at 40-second intervals. The graph below shows the results from the 5% bag: Concentration of NaCl Outside of Dialysis Bags Concentration of NaCl (mg/L) 400 320 240 160 80 0 40 80 Time(seconds) 120 5% Solution 160 a.
