This document is a completed lab report for Exercise One in Community College of Rhode Island’s BIOL 2201 Human Anatomy & Physiology course. Specifically, it details a student’s work on Activity One: Simulating Dialysis and exploring cell transport mechanisms.
This report is intended for the student (Kaley Faucher) and their instructor for assessment purposes. It demonstrates the student’s understanding of diffusion, molecular weight cut-off (MWCO), and permeability concepts as applied in a PhysioEx virtual lab environment. It serves as a record of completed work and assessed comprehension.
This report *does not* provide instruction on how to complete the lab, nor does it offer a comprehensive explanation of the underlying physiological principles. It showcases *results* and *answers* provided by a student, not a guide to obtaining them.
The full report includes: pre-lab quiz scores, responses to prediction and “stop & think” questions, experimental data tables showing diffusion rates for various solutes (sodium chloride, urea, albumin, glucose) across different MWCO membranes, and post-lab quiz results. This preview only presents a summary of the student’s responses and data, not the full experimental setup or detailed analysis.
