Q

200mL of water is placed on one side of a two chambered beaker – labeled “start” in the diagram below. A lipid bilayer seperates the two chambers. What will eventually happen to the water? Use the box labeled “finish” to diagram your answer and include the volume of water you expect to see on each side of the membrane.

A

By way of osmosis, the water will evenly diffuse across the bilayer, going from high concentration to low concentration until it is 100mL and 100mL.

Q

This time the two chambers are seperated by a semi-permeable membrane that is left in place. We start with 1% NaCl solution on one side and a 2% NaCl solution on the other side (diagram labeled ‘start’). What will eventually happen to the solutions? Use the box labeled ‘finish’ to diagram your answer. Include water volumes and salt percentages on each side.

A

Diffusion would occur from left to right, being that the salts cannot pass through the semi-permeable membrane, the water would diffuse from the left (higher concentration) to the right (lower concentration)
