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)

Q

What are the differences and similarities of pumps and coupled transport mechanisms? Both are active transport but make sure you consider how they utilize energy differently.

A

Coupled Transport is the process by which the transmembrane protein moves one molecules with the concentration gradient, essentially sacrificing it. The energy of this diffusion is then used to transport an unwanted molecule against the gradient.
