Cells have methods other than diffusion/osmosis to move materials across the cell membrane, most of which involve membrane proteins and require the use of energy. The cell membrane also performs functions other than controlling the movement of materials into and out of the cell, and the membranes of some specialized cells have very complex functions. So we can see that the cell membrane is a very intricate and important component of the cell.

Which substance did not diffused through the membrane?
starch doesnt diffuse through the dialysis membrane.
What substance in the dialysis tubing or jar did not diffuse across the dialysis bag membrane and why?
molecular weight higher than the pore size of the tubing or dialysis bag material doesnt go.
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.
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.
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.
How did those substances go into the water outside the dialysis?
The substance moved into the water through osmosis. The concentration of the substances inside the dialysis bag was higher than in the water and membrane was permeable to the substances. As such, they moved from a high to a low concentration along a concentration gradient.
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.
