It is a type of tubing, that is semi permeable (i think) and it acts like a membrane since it only allows certain things inside and out. This is sometimes used for cleaning the blood for kidney failures. You may have used this for an osmosis lab or something. Hope this helps

What are two types of dialysis?
There are two methods of dialysis in use: hemodialysis (blood dialysis) and peritoneal dialysis (dialysis in the abdominal cavity). In hemodialysis, the dialysis membrane is made up of cellophane or other synthetic material that assists in the removal of impurities from the blood by their passage through these semipermeable membranes in a fluid bath. In peritoneal dialysis, the surface area of the peritoneum acts as the membrane. Dialysis fluid is introduced into the peritoneal cavity and then periodically removed along with the waste products. This procedure may be done at intervals throughout the day or during the night.
How to use cellophane membrane for in vitro drug release study?
cellophane membrane is used in in vitro release by activating it in glycerine or 0.1 N HCl for 24 hrs
What rhymes with propane in cell terms?
Cell membrane and cellophane
How is dialysis membrane selectively permeable?
a dialysis membrane is selectively permeable, it is used in experiments to simulate cellular membranes, and it is permeable to water but not to sucrose.
Which substances did not diffuse the membrane?
starch doesnt diffuse through the dialysis membrane.
A cell membrane is like a what?
A semi-permeable membrane. It could be compared to dialysis tubing.
Which substance did not diffused through the membrane?
starch doesnt diffuse through the dialysis membrane.
What is required for osmosis and dialysis?
a semi permeable membrane
Will IKI pass through dialysis membrane?
yes!
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.
Which nutrient can pass through a dialysis membrane?
Molecules that are small enough to fit through the membrane pores. Water molecules, sodium, potassium, and chloride can pass through dialysis membrane because they are small in size. Proteins have a bigger size than the pores of the dialysis membrane so they don't pass through it, they stay in the blood plasma.
What is dialysis tubing supposed to mimic?
The dialysis tubing is meant to represent the semi permeable membrane of a cell. Like the cell membrane, dialysis tubing has holes or pores that only allow certain things to pass through. A cell membrane similarly will only allow certain things to pass in and out.
