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.

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.

What physical property of the dialysis tubing might explain its differential permeability?

Dialysis tubing is an impermeable membrane/containment vessel that is stratified with microscopic holes which restrict certain molecules or particles from diffusing through them. This leads dialysis tubing to serve as a selectively permeable membrane because it selectively prevents certain molecules from crossing the membrane based on the size of the molecules. (Typically water and glucose will diffuse through, whereas starch and potassium iodide will not.

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.

Do sodium ions pass easily through the pores of dialysis tubing?

Yes they do; this is because a sodium ion has a small [atomic] size compared to the size of the pores of the dialysis tubing. Then we can look at the our phospholipid bilayer; why there they are can pass easily? So if in the phospholipid bilayer they can pass easily through, so at the dialysis tubing they also can easily pass.
