Movement across membranes
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Brownian Movement | The microscopically visible motion of particles as they are bombarded by molecules. |
Brownian Movement slide | Particles of India ink moving - look alive - because of the distilled water bouncing against the India ink. Vibrating |
Diffusion | Tendency - due to random molecular motion - for substances to scatter or move away from regions of high concentration |
Diffusion when heat is added | Substances diffuse at a faster rate |
Diffusion without heat | Substances diffuse at a slow rate |
Particle size - small or lighter in weight | Substance that is small or lightweight will move across a surface (or material) at a faster rate |
Particle size - large or heavy in weight | Substance that is large or heavy will move across a surface (or material) at a slower rate. |
Osmosis | Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane |
Isotonic | Balanced solution |
Hypertonic | High concentrated solution |
Hypotonic | Low concentrated solution |
Cells in isotonic solution | Remain intact |
Cells in hypotonic solution | Swell and burst |
Cells in hypertonic solution | Crenate (shrivel) |
Dialysis | The separation of small dissolved particles from larger particles by means of diffusion across a selectively permeable membrane. |
Ionic solutions | Called electrolytes because they are electrically charged and will conduct an electrical current. (ONLY ACIDS, BASES AND SALTS) |
Covalently charged particles | Can not conduct an electrical current. |
Distilled Water - electrolyte? | No |
Tap Water - electrolyte? | No |
Starch - electrolyte? | No |
Glucose - electrolyte? | No |
NaCl - electrolyte? | Yes, strong electrolyte |
HCl - electrolyte? | Yes, strong electrolyte |
NaOH - electrolyte? | Yes, strong base electrolyte |
Sugar cubes sweetening tea without stirring | Diffusion |
Cells bursting in distilled water | Osmosis |
Meat being dried and preserved with salt | Osmosis |
Perfume reaching nose of one person from the skin of another | Diffusion |
Urea diffusing from blood into water for artificial kidney | Dialysis |
Milk at dairy poured through cotton pad for cleaning | Filtration |
Kinetic | Name given the movement of particles due to molecular bombardment |
Passive | Diffusion, osmosis, dialysis and filtration are all examples of active or passive processes? |
Osmosis | Which term is the most inclusive - osmosis, diffusion, dialysis? |
Water | As osmosis occurs in the body, what substance is crossing a selectively permeable membrane? |
NaCl | When other factors are held constant, which substance - glucose or NaCl - should diffuse faster? |
Glucose | Which has the most particles - a 5% glucose solution or a 2% NaCl solution? |
Hypertonic | In osmosis, net movement of water is into the hypertonic or hypotonic solution? |
Iodine | What material is used to test for starch? |
Benedict's solution | What material is used to test for sugar? |
Hydrolysis | The membranous bag used to demonstrate dialysis swells and may even burst. What is the term for this? |
Osmosis | Which of these is not a special type of diffusion - osmosis, dialysis, filtration? |
Erythrocytes | What are most of the large molecules in blood that do not move across membranes by diffusion or filtration? |
Electrolytes | What term is used for substances that ionize in water? |
Acids, bases, salts | What three types of compounds are electrolytes? |
