If the mass of each dialysis bag shown in the experimental set-up below is measured before each is immersed in its respective so

lution, and the mass is measured again 45 minutes later, which bag would you predict will show the greatest increase in mass?

From the understanding of hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solutions; one can deduce which of the dialysis bags will show the greatest increase in mass. The correct answer would be the dialysis bag with 1.0 M solution.

Hypertonic solutions have higher concentrations than the sap of whatever cell or substances that is put into them. Water molecules will move from the sap of any cell drop into such solutions into the solutions.

Isotonic solutions have the same concentration as the sap of cells drop into them. Hence, no net movement of water molecules by osmosis.

Hypotonic solutions have lower concentrations than the sap of cells drop into them. Hence, water will move from such solutions to the sap of the cells drop into them.

In the images, there are 3 categories of solutions:

  • Hypertonic solutions: the solutions with 1.0, 0.4, and 0.6 M concentrations. The dialysis bags with 0.2 M solutions will lose water to their respective surrounding hypertonic solutions. Hence, their weights would decrease.
  • Isotonic solution: the solution with 0.2 M concentration, the same concentration as the solution in the dialysis bag. The dialysis bag will neither gain nor lose weight.
  • Hypotonic solution: the solution with 0.2 M concentration but the concentration of the solution in the dialysis bag is 1.0 M. Water molecules will move from the surrounding solution into the solution in the dialysis bag. Hence, the dialysis bag in this case will gain weight.

In other words, the dialysis bag with 1.0 M solution will have the greatest increase in mass due to a gain in water molecules by osmosis.

Answer:

HEALTH SECTOR(microorganisms have led to the most devastating diseases of man such as HIV VIRUS, HEPATITIS VIRUS, SALMONELLA TYPHI AND PARATYPHI SPPS)

INDUSTRY(microorganisms have led to masses losses due to contamination of foods like the GROWTH OF MOLDS)

ENVIRONMENT most contamination of the environment are caused by microorganisms.

Explanation:Louis Pasteur meant that with the microscopic nature of microorganisms they have been able to make great impact in the world.

IN THE HEALTH SECTOR Microorganisms have been the major cause of the diseases of human and animals world wide, diseases such as Hepatitis A,B,C Virus,Typhoid caused by Bacteria (Salmonella typhy and paratyphy spp) etc have been a cause of a huge number of death.

INDUSTRY

Microorganisms are major causes of loss in the industries leading to large scale contamination of food products, such as Fungi infestation on foods especially of plants origin. MICROORGANISMS ALSO HAVE BENEFITS IN THE INDUSTRY AS IT IS USED IN THE FERMENTATION OF FOOD PRODUCTS.

IN THE ENVIRONMENT

Microorganisms are the major cause of environmental hazards such as the contamination of water bodies, the air (THE HUMAN FLU VIRUS) etc ALL THESE MICROORGANISMS HAVE CAUSED MASSIVE DEATHS THE WORLD OVER.
