What else can I help you with?
Which part of a kidney dialysis apparatus actually takes the place of the nephron?
tubing made of selectively permeable membrane
How does the dialysis machine resemble with nephron?
The dialysis machine is time - consuming while the properly funtioning nephron can get work done quickly
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.
What cell structure the dialysis tubing represents?
Dialysis tubing is often used to emulate the selective permeability of the cell membrane.
Can oxygen pass through pores of dialysis tubing?
Yes, oxygen molecules are small enough to pass through the pores of dialysis tubing. This allows oxygen to diffuse into the dialysis tubing from a surrounding solution or environment.
Will protein diffuse through dialysis tubing?
Yes, protein can diffuse through dialysis tubing due to its small size and ability to pass through the pores of the tubing.
Can hydrogen ion pass through the pores of dialysis tubing?
No.Hydrogen ion cannot pass through the pores of dialysis tubing.
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.
What is the diameter of a dialysis tubing pore?
A dialysis tubing pore is usually 20nm, but some dialysis tubings are specially made to have smaller or larger pores ranging from .85 nanometers to 30 nanometers.
To Which substances was the dialysis tubing permeable?
I don't know unless you give more details!
Why urea passes through the dialysis tubing into the dialysis fluid?
Urea passes through the dialysis tubing into the dialysis fluid due to the process of diffusion, where molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. The dialysis tubing is semi-permeable, allowing small molecules like urea to cross while retaining larger molecules and cells. As urea accumulates in the blood and reaches a higher concentration than in the dialysis fluid, it diffuses out to achieve equilibrium. This process helps remove waste products from the blood in dialysis treatments.
Can phenolphthalein pass through a dialysis tubing?
Yes, phenolphthalein can pass through dialysis tubing, as it is a small organic molecule. Dialysis tubing is designed to allow the passage of small solutes while retaining larger molecules, so substances like phenolphthalein, which has a molecular weight of about 318 g/mol, can diffuse through the pores of the tubing. This property is often utilized in experiments to demonstrate diffusion and the selective permeability of membranes.
