In beaker one, you place a dialysis bag with just water in it. In beaker two, you place a dialysis bag with a 1% salt solution in it. In beaker 3, you place a dialysis bag with 10% salt solution in it. Predict what will happen to each of the dialysis bags after 24 hours (get larger, get smaller or no change). Use the terms hypotonic, hypertonic and isotonic to explain your answer.Part 2: List the four types of tissue and compare and contrast 2 of these types of tissues. Describe at least 2 differences and 2 similarities between the tissues you chose.
Assume you have a 1% salt solution in 3 different beakers. In beaker one, you place a dialysis bag with just water in it. In beaker two, you place a dialysis bag with a 1% salt solution in it. In beaker 3, you place a dialysis bag with 10% salt solution in it. Predict what will happen to each of the dialysis bags after 24 hours (get larger, get smaller or no change). Use the terms hypotonic, hypertonic and isotonic to explain your answer.Part 2: List the four types of tissue and compare and contrast 2 of these types of tissues. Describe at least 2 differences and 2 similarities between the tissues you chose.
In this scenario, we can use the principles of osmosis to predict what will happen to the dialysis bags in each of the three beakers.
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.
Beaker 1: Dialysis bag with just water
- The beaker contains a 1% salt solution making it hypertonic compared to the pure water inside the dialysis bag.
- Water will move out of the dialysis bag into the beaker through osmosis.
- The dialysis bag will get smaller as it loses water to the hypertonic solution.
