Question

Fill in the blanks below to complete the hypothesis for this lab. It should answer the lab question, “What is the effect of molecule size on a molecule’s ability to diffuse across a semipermeable membrane?”
If molecules are small enough, then . . .

Answer 1

Answer:

Not sure about this but:

If molecules are small enough, then they will be able to diffuse across a semipermeable membrane easier.

Explanation:

The smaller the molecule, the faster it can go through the small holes in a cell's membrane. If it is too large, it would need to have some sort of a protein or other process like facilitated diffusion to go through the membrane and enter the cell.

hope this helped lol

Answer 2

Answer: correct conclusion (“then”): Molecules will diffuse through the membrane

correct reason (“because”): Molecules can pass through the membrane’s tiny openings
