Describe the effect of adding glucose carriers to the Sodium Potassium transport

Question 1: Activity 1: Simulating Dialysis. Of those you tested, which solutes were able to diffuse into the right beaker from the left with the
-20 MWCO membrane?
-200 MWCO membrane?
Explain how the experiment variables (solute size & concentration, membrane pore size) affected diffusion rate and whether it occurred.

Question2: Activity 2: Facilitated diffusion: What happened to the rate of facilitated diffusion as the number of protein carriers increased? Explain why.

Question 3: What do you think would happen to the transport rate if you put the same concentration of glucose into both beakers instead of deionized water in the right beaker? Why?

Question 4: Activity 3: Simulating Osmosis. Does NaCl appear in the right beaker? If so, which membrane(s), of those you tested, allowed it to pass?

Question 5:Explain the relationship you observe between solute concentration and osmotic pressure.

Question 6: Will osmotic pressure be generated if solutes are able to diffuse? Explain.

Question 7: What would happen (related to osmotic pressure) if you increased the albumin concentration in the left beaker using any membrane?

Question 8: Activity 5: Simulating Active transport. Watch the solute concentration windows at the side of each beaker for any changes in Na+ and K+ concentrations (for RUN 1). The Na+ transport rate stops before transport has completed. Why?

Question 9: What do you think would happen if you did not dispense any ATP? Why?

Question 10: RUN 2 (ATP concentration at 3 mM): Has the amount of Na+ transported changed? If so, how has it changed and why?

Question 11: What would happen if you decreased the number of sodium-potassium pumps during RUN 2?

Question 12: Describe the effect of adding glucose carriers to the Sodium Potassium transport. Explain why.
