Chapter 5, Problem 10TYK
Using the principle of diffusion, a dialysis machine removes waste solutes from a patient’s blood. Imagine blood runs through a cylinder wherein diffusion can occur across an artificial selectively permeable membrane to a saline solution on the other side. Which of the following statements is correct?
a. Solutes move from lower to higher concentraction.
b. The concentration gradient is lower in the patient’s blood than in the saline solution wash.
c. The solutes are transported through a symport in the blood cell membrane.
d. The saline solution has a lower concentration gradient of solute than the blood.
e. The waste solutes are actively transported from the blood.

What can be correctly said of an isotonic intravenous solution? (An isotonic
solution):
Select one:
a. Causes no net movement of water into or out of red blood cells
b. Causes water to move out of red blood cells
c. Has the same solutes in the same solution concentration as blood plasma
d. Causes water to move into red blood cells
A student designed an experiment to test whether different concentration gradients affect the rate of diffusion through dialysis tubing. Four different solutions (0% NaCl, 1% NaCl, 5% NaCl, and 10% NaCl) were tested
under identical conditions. Twenty mL of each solution was placed into separate dialysis tubing that is permeable to Na+, Cl-, and water. Each bag was placed in a separate beaker and covered with distilled water.
The concentration of NaCl in the water outside of each bag was measured at 40-second intervals. The graph below shows the results from the 5% bag:

- Describe the difference between the rate of diffusion seen for sodium and urea. Select one: 1/Urea diffused faster because it is smaller than sodium. 2/Urea diffused more slowly because it is larger than sodium. 3/Urea diffused faster because it is larger than sodium. 4/Urea diffused more slowly because it is smaller than sodium.arrow_forwardFor each scenario, choose which boundary condition would be appropriate. Consider and list what assumptions you might be making. 1.The solute of interest is diffusing towards the cell membrane, where it is binding to surface receptors. 2.Sugar is diffusing from the surface of a dissolving sugar cube. 3.Blood is flowing over an oxygen transport membrane in a blood oxygenator. 4.Nutrients are diffusing away from the epithelium in a capillary bed into the tissue. Describe the boundary where diffusion of solute from one capillary meets that of another if you assume regular spacing of capillaries.arrow_forwardIn an investigation of osmosis, apple cores were submerged in different molarity solutions to determine the unknown osmolarity of the apple. To determine the molarity five uniform apple cores were massed before submerging them in different molarity solutions. After 24 hours the apple cores were massed again. Then the percent change in mass was determined for the five uniform apple cores in each molarity solution. (b) Identify the osmolarity of the apple.arrow_forward
