What else can I help you with?
Is dialysis osmosis or diffusion?
Dialysis is the separation of particles in a liquid on the basis of differences in their ability to pass through a membrane. As a semi permeable membrane is involved, so it is an osmosis.
Do red blood cells go through osmosis or diffusion?
Red blood cells do not go through osmosis because they lack a nucleus and organelles needed for osmosis. Instead, they rely on diffusion to exchange gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide across their cell membrane.
What is the purpose of the gel in the serum separating tube?
The gel in a serum separating tube acts as a barrier between the serum and the blood cells after centrifugation. It helps to separate the serum from the blood cells, making it easier to collect a clean sample for further analysis.
What is the opposite of osmosis?
The opposite of osmosis is dialysis, which involves removing waste and excess substances from the blood by passing it through a membrane. In dialysis, solutes move from an area of high concentration to low concentration rather than water moving through a semi-permeable membrane like in osmosis.
Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged in the lungs and through all call membrane an active transport b diffusion c filtration d osmosis?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged in the lungs through diffusion. Oxygen moves from the alveoli into the blood, while carbon dioxide moves from the blood into the alveoli, driven by differences in their concentration gradients. This process does not involve active transport, filtration, or osmosis.
What is an example of active transport through a cell membrane?
Osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. I'm assuming you mean active transport of plasma into a red blood cell.
What are some substances separated by centrifuge?
milk , separating colloids and organic substances
What process are used to separate using blood as the mixture?
Blood can be separated into its components using centrifugation, which uses spinning to separate the blood into layers based on density. This process allows for the separation of blood into its components such as plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Methods used that separate blood donations?
Methods used to separate blood donations are; # Centrifugation # Filtration The main separation method used is Centrifugation.
What process does the water move from the large intestines to the blood stream?
i want to say passive diffusion but i dont know for sure
What color tube is used for urea?
A tiger or gold top tube is typically used for urea testing. It usually contains a clot activator and gel separator that helps in separating serum from the blood cells after centrifugation.
Why is Osmosis Jones wrongly titled?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a membrane. Diffusion is when particles move from a higher concentration to a lower concentration without the use of any energy. So, in the movie, Osmosis Jones is really a white blood cell (a cell that combats "evil" disease or illness. The the movie would have been titled fine as Osmosis Jones if Osmosis simple diffused from one place to another inside the body. However, that would have been really boring and the studios would have lost their shirts!
