What is the effect of molecule size on a semipermeable membrane?
Added by Nerea C.
Step 1
A semipermeable membrane is a type of barrier that allows certain molecules or ions to pass through it while blocking others. This selective permeability is based on the size, charge, and polarity of the molecules or ions. Show more…

By the end of this lab, you will see how some materials diffuse through a semipermeable membrane but others do not. The materials that you examine will differ in molecule size. Some will be larger and some smaller. Formulate an investigative question for this situation. ANSWER Sample Question: What is the effect of molecule size on a molecule's ability to diffuse across a semipermeable membrane? -format: “What is the effect of X on Y?” -independent variable: molecule size -dependent variable: the ability to diffuse across a semipermeable membrane
