Predict Question:
Predict Question 1: The molecular weight of urea is 60.07. Do you think urea will diffuse through the 20 MWCO membrane?
Your answer : c. No, not at all.
Predict Question 2: Recall that glucose is a monosaccharide, albumin is a protein with 607 amino acids, and the average
molecular weight of a single amino acid is 135 g/mole.
Which of the following will be able to diffuse through the 200 MWCO membrane?
Your answer : c. glucose only
Glucose is a six-carbon sugar. Albumin is a protein with 607 amino acids. The average molecular weight of a single amino
acid is 135 g/mole. There is no reason to run these solutes at the 20 MWCO because
You did not answer this question.
Correct answer: d. glucose and albumin are both too large to pass.

Review Sheet Results
1. Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion.
Your answer:
concentration of solute and size
2. Why do you think the urea was not able to diffuse through the 20 MWCO membrane? How well did the results compare
with your prediction?
Your answer:
Urea was too big in size to pass through the 20 MWCO membrane. Therefore, my answer was correct.
3. Describe the results of the attempts to diffuse glucose and albumin through the 200 MWCO membrane. How well did the
results compare with your prediction?
Your answer:
Glucose diffuse through the 200 MWCO membrane, but the albumin molecules were too large to do so. Therefore, my
predictionn was correct.
4. Put the following in order from smallest to largest molecular weight: glucose, sodium chloride, albumin, and urea.
Your answer:
glucose, sodum chloride, albumin, urea
