Chapter 19, Problem 23RQ
Read the box on hemodialysis on p. 603 and see if you can create a model system that would work for dialysis. Draw two compartments (one to represent blood and one to represent dialysis fluid) separated by a semipermeable membrane. In the blood compartment, list normal extracellular fluid solutes and their concentrations (see the table with normal values of blood components inside the back cover of this book). What will happen to the concentrations of these solutes during kidney failure? Which of these solutes should you put in the dialysis fluid, and what should their concentrations be? (Hint: Do you want diffusion into the dialysis fluid, out of the dialysis fluid, or no net movement?) How would you change the dialysis fluid if the patient was retaining too much water?

Can sucrose pass freely through the membrane of a dialysis tube? Explain using examples. (Biochemistry)
Dialysis is a process of selective diffusion through a membrane. It is usually used to separate low-molecular-weight solutes which diffuse through the membrane from the colloidal and high-molecular-weight solutes which do not.
What are the factors affecting dialysis.
What concentration of sucrose do you estimate would yield no change inpressure? Why is this biologically significant? Explain in your own words. Do not copy and paste from google. Please refer to your data/graphs on Dialysis tubing cell osmosis.

You introduce P-selectin into a synthetic lipid bilayer and attach it to a glass slide mounted in a flow chamber. This arrangement allows you to measure neutrophil attachment at different densities of P-selectin and at different flow rates. At high densities, from 30 to 400 P-selectin molecules per µm², the neutrophils attached to the membrane and rolled very slowly and jerkily in the direction of the flow (see cell 1 in the figure). At the same flow rate, but at a density of 15 P-selectins per µm², the neutrophils behaved differently: they either moved at the flow rate of the medium or were transiently tethered-horizontal lines marked by t-before moving again (cell 2 in the figure). Neutrophils showed this same behavior at a density of 1 P-selectins per μm² and half the flow rate: moving at the flow…arrow_forwardBeans the 21kg Pit Bull needs to be put on IV fluids STAT!
