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.


Can hydrogen ion pass through the pores of dialysis tubing?

No.Hydrogen ion cannot pass through the pores of dialysis tubing.


Type of tubing that is semi-permeable?

Semi-permeable tubing is made of materials that allow certain substances to pass through while blocking others. This type of tubing is commonly used in medical devices such as dialysis machines to filter out waste products and excess fluids from the blood. Examples of semi-permeable membrane materials include cellulose acetate and polyethersulfone.


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

Dialysis tubing is used as a model for a cell membrane because it is selectively permeable, allowing only certain molecules to pass through, just like cell membranes. This property helps in studying processes like osmosis and diffusion in a controlled environment that mimics the behavior of cell membranes.


Design an experiment based on the principles of diffusion and osmosis that the assistant could use to determine which of the falasks contains each of the four unknown solutions?

I'm doing the same AP Bio essay right now. 1. Place each solution in a separate dialysis bag. 2. Place each dialysis bag in a solute (water). 3. Observe the dialysis bag in the solute for a couple of days. 4. Record the results with a Benedict's test to determine the amount of sucrose in each solute. Whichever solution diffused the most into the solute is the .2 solution. Whichever diffused the least into the water is the .8 solution, etc.

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!


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.


Can sucrose molecules enter the dialysing tubing during dialysis?

NO


How is dialysis tubing like a nephron?

Why is dialysis tubing not submerged in pure water?

The tubing is permeable; itallows water to pass through the tube wall.


What is the process responsible for the change in mass of the dialysis tubing in the beakers?
