PASSIVE TRANSPORT LAB

To visualize diffusion of molecules across a semipermeable membraneTo determine which molecules were permeable to the dialysis tubingTo relate the diffusion of molecules across the dialysis tubing to diffusion across a plasma membraneTo identify (3) factors that contribute

Remember……

1. Most hypothesized the following:a. Glucose moves out of the dialysis bagb. Starch moves out to the dialysis bagc. Iodine moves into the dialysis bag“Why did people think this would happen?”

2. A few hypothesized that starch molecules would not move out of the dialysis bag.

“Why would a few think this?”

Indicators to Identify if…

Starch diffused out or stayed in bag – Iodine Iodine reacts with starch and turns blue-black Observe setup and complete Table 1

Glucose diffused out of bag – Benedicts Solution Benedicts reacts with glucose and turn organge. Add about two droppers of beaker water to test

tube Add Benedicts to test tube to make water blue Place in hot water bath Record observation in Table 2

Complete Analysis Questions #1-5

Passive Transport Cell Model Set upThis is after the dialysis bag that was filled with a glucose

and starch solution looked like after 60 minutes.

Passive Transport Cell Model SetupThis is what the setup looked like after 24 hours.

The Benedict’s Solution ResultThis is a tube of beaker solution and Benedict’s solution. Note the orange color that looks like carrot juice. Yum,

yum!
