Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.

front 8

Summarize the results of activity 3. List and explain your observations relative to the tests used to identify diffusing substances, and the changes in sac wight you observed.

Sac 1 containing 40% glucose suspended in distilled water.

back 8

Glucose diffused down the concentration gradient from the sac into the water. Water moved via osmosis into the sac. This is why Benedict's test was positive for reducing sugars in the water and explains the increase in the sac's mass.

front 9

Summarize the results of activity 3. List and explain your observations relative to the tests used to identify diffusing substances, and the changes in sac wight you observed.

Sac 2 containing 40% glucose suspended in 40% glucose

back 9

Insignificant change in the mass of the sac, likely due to the wet while soaking. No net diffusion or osmosis.

front 10

Summarize the results of activity 3. List and explain your observations relative to the tests used to identify diffusing substances, and the changes in sac wight you observed.

Sac 3 containing 10% NaCl suspended in distilled water

back 10

Diffusion of Na+ and Cl- ions down the concentration gradient from inside the sac into the beaker water. Osmosis of water into the sac. This accounts for the positive test for silver chloride and the increase in sac mass.

front 11

Summarize the results of activity 3. List and explain your observations relative to the tests used to identify diffusing substances, and the changes in sac wight you observed.

Sac 4 containing 40% sucrose and Congo red dye suspended in distilled water

back 11

The Congo red dye did not diffuse into the beaker water as the water remained clear and colorless. The sucrose did not diffuse as Benedict's test was negative. Water moved into the sac via osmosis resulting in an increase in sac mass.

front 12

What single characteristic of the selectively permeable membranes used in the laboratory determines the substances that can pass through them.

back 12

The membrane pore cell size.

front 13

In addition to this characteristic, what other factors influence the passage of substances through living membranes?

back 13

Also, carrier molecules and active transport systems influence the passage through living membranes.
