How does a visking tubing differ from a cellmembrane?

Visking tubing contains millions of tiny holes which only let small molecules, like water, diffuse through. Large molecules, such as starch, cannot cross the membrane. We say it is partially permeable (permeable means a substance is able to pass through). This is similar to a cell membrane. Visking tubing can therefore be used as a model of a cell.


Why do you use dialysis tubing as a model for a cell membrane?

Dialysis tubing is often used to model a cell membrane because it is also a semi-permeable membrane. This means that it only allows certain substances through, not all.


What does a seton drain look like which is used in surgery for a peri anal abscess?

It can be a small length of rubber tubing through the fistula and tied in a knot and stitched so that it moves freely keeping the area drained


What is the meaning of selectively permable?

Selectively permeable means that only certain objects can pass through. I've encountered that phrase in cell Biology, when talking about cell membranes. The cell membrane is made of phospholipids that only allow certain substances through. Water can pass through because the molecules are small enough to pass through small holes in the membrane. Other molecules, such as sodium or potassium, can be transported using protiens.


Why should be cork and glass tubing be moistened with water and glycerin respectively?

I have no idea what you are really talking about exactly, but I assume you are referring to using water to lubricate a glass tube before trying to push it through a rubber stopper with a hole in it. The water will help the glass slide through the small rubber opening, which can be sticky otherwise.

How is dialysis tubing similar to a small intestine?

Both the dialysis (cellulose) tubing and the small intestine are selectively permeable. Meaning they allow only some and not all substances to pass through. E.g. Glucose (small molecule of sugar) is able to pass through, however Starch (larger molecule of sugar) fails to do so. Hope this helps


Why does glucose diffuse through dialysis tubing into distilled water?

Glucose diffuses through dialysis tubing into the distilled water as, glucose molecules are small, it could fit through the pores of the dialysis tube. It is also because glucose is hydrophillic, (polar compound), which will dissolve in water as it is a polar compound as well.


What is the components of blood that cannot pass the dialysis tuning?

First of all, it is called Dialysis Tubing. Secondly, they are not 'Components', they are 'Contents'. Thirdly, only small molecules can pass through the semi-permeable membrane of the tubing, if using Diffusion. If using Osmosis, only water can pass through.

What does dialysis tubing represent in your model?

Dialysis Tubing is a type of semi or partially permeable membrane tubing made from regenerated cellulose or cellophane. It is used for diffusion, or more accurately osmosis. It allows the passage of small molecules but not larger ones. It is used in clinical circumstances to ensure a filtered flow of molecules, preventing the flow of larger solute molecules. Small molecules can be 'washed' out of a solution which is pumped through the tubing into a solvent, usually water, which surrounds it and in which they can be flushed away.


Craftsman weed eater 358.797101 fuel line?

There is no way to push the replacement fuel line through the small hole in the gas tank. The fuel line must be trimmed at an angle, and a 12 to 14 inch piece of small gauge wire (26 gauge will do) will be inserted perpendicularly through the line about an inch below the top of the tubing. Insert enough of wire through the fuel line so the remaining wire can be bent and twisted above the top of the tubing. This will enable you to pull the wire, and the fuel line, up through the bottom, and out the top of the tank. Fish the wire through the small hole in the bottom of the fuel tank and out the top of the tank. Continue pulling the wire and the fuel line should follow (a small amount of grease applied to the tubing will aid in feeding it through the tank bottom) . Grasp the fuel line and continue pulling until there is a little slack at the carburetor end, but just enough tubing to fit over the fuel intake nipple on the side of the carburetor. Trim off excess tubing except for 2 inches above gas tank filler neck. Insert a small Phillips screwdriver (or some other tapered tool) into the end of the tubing and push it in about a half inch of so. This will stretch the fuel line tubing and make it easier to insert the fuel filter. A small bit of grease around the filter nipple will make it easier to fit it over the end of the tubing. Finally, pull about an inch or so of tubing at the carburetor side of the tank far added slack, and push the filter / tubing combo slide back inside the gas tank. Shake the tank around a bit so the filter will settle at the bottom of the tank. Reattach any removed parts back to the weedeater.


Can glucose pass through a membrane?

Dialysis membranes are typically not permeable to sucrose. Removing sugar from the blood can be dangerous as it can lead to hypoglycemia. Sugar molecules are too large to pass through dialysis membranes.


Is stainless steel tubing expensive?

Stainless steel tubing can be expensive. It depends on what you are looking for. Depending on how much you need and if you need specific tubing, you can expect to pay around $100 for a small amount.


Who makes stainless steel tubing?

Accu-Tube is a company that makes stainless steel tubing. They make stainless steel tubing for medical purposes that are hypodermic. They make sizes from small diameters to large diameters.


How do you make a talk box?

I have made a talk box before. What you need is some surgical tubing, a high current dual pole single throw switch, a small - high powered- speaker and a small sealable box to fit it in. You will also need an amplifier that has the speaker output that you can use. You need to mount the speaker and the switch into the box - wiring the speaker so when you push the switch, it will route the signal to the speaker in the box or back to the speaker from the amplifier. Make sure that the box has a hole in it that you can attach the surgical tubing that is on the same side as the front of the speaker. Attach the tubing to the box. If you want, there are plumbing fitings that you can buy from your local hardware store that will allow you to remove the tubing from the box. Then seal it all up. You can use silicone for that. run the surgical tubing from the box to the microphone that you are using. The sound will travel through the surgical tubing and into your mouth and then through the microphone.
