For a lab on diffusion and osmosis, where a egg yolk was placed in a cup water the following question asks Consider a scenario in which the size of an egg yolk remains unchanged after in water soaking for an hour. What are two possible explanations as to why this occurs? What would two reasons be for the yolk to be unchanged after a hour in water?

If you made a hematocrit in two tubes. Tube A is made of 0.60M NaCl, and Tube B is made of 1.00M of NaCl, describe how the cell would respond in these solutions? Which would have a higher rate of osmosis? If the cell is permeable to NaCl, which would have a higher rate of diffusion?
In the experiment showing osmosis through a semipermeable membrane, 3 corn syrup mixtures are used. If equal volumes of two solutions (10% corn syrup and 30% corn syrup) were placed in two beakers that were separated by a semipermeable membrane, permeable only to water, and let sit for 1 hour, what would be the expected concentration/s of the two solutions at the end of the time period? Explain using solute concentration, water concentration etc.
In an investigation of osmosis, apple cores were submerged in different molarity solutions to determine the unknown osmolarity of the apple. To determine the molarity five uniform apple cores were massed before submerging them in different molarity solutions. After 24 hours the apple cores were massed again. Then the percent change in mass was determined for the five uniform apple cores in each molarity solution. (c) Describe the environmental conditions taking place in each of the six solutions with the apples refer to picture for table

A student designed an experiment to test whether different concentration gradients affect the rate of diffusion through dialysis tubing. Four different solutions (0% NaCl, 1% NaCl, 5% NaCl, and 10% NaCl) were tested under identical conditions. Twenty mL of each solution was placed into separate dialysis tubing that is permeable to Na+, Cl-, and water. Each bag was placed in a separate beaker and covered with distilled water. The concentration of NaCl in the water outside of each bag was measured at 40-second intervals. The graph below shows the results from the 5% bag: Concentration of NaCl Outside of Dialysis Bags Concentration of NaCl (mg/L) 400 320 240 160 80 0 40 80 Time(seconds) 120 5% Solution 160 a.

Depicted is a rod-shaped bacterium that can be approximated as a cylinder with two spherical caps, r = 0.5 micron. If the difference between the osmolarities inside and outside is 10 mosM, what would be the tension in the bacterial envelope? Is it uniform? (concentrations are expressed in mol/L)
The mixing of liquids is critical in microfluidic analytical systems and is often taking place in Y-shaped junctions as seen in Figure Q4b. The inlets are 50 μm wide and 50 µm high, and the outlet is 50 μm wide and 50 μm high. The aim of the device is to analyse IgG with a diffusion coefficient of 4-10 cm²-s¹. Determine the shortest length of the channel to ensure complete mixing when the flowrate in each of the inlet channels is 1 µl/h.
