Activity 4

Data Table 4. Sample in dialysis tubing before and after rice

treatment

Characteristic Before rice treatment After rice treatment

Volume 10 10

Color Red Red

2. What is represented by the coffee in Activity 4?

The coffe grinds themselves illustrated blood containing wastes, and the filter
represents the kidney filtering these wastes out.
3. What is simulated by the placing the dialysis tubing in rice?

Dialysis tubing simulates the selectively permeable cell membrane, it allows only glucose and
iodine through it but not starch and thats why change in volume and color did NOT occur
during the experiment.
