Document Summary
Times, mean and standard error values observed for hemolysis to occur in red blood cells using 5 different solutions. Solutions are sorted by shortest to longest time to hemolyse. >1200b a the value 2 was used to measure mean and standard error of the time values. The value 1200 was used to measure mean and standard error of the time values. Interpretation: the factors that affect the diffusion of the solutes in the permeability experiment are the size of the molecules. Generally the size of a molecule directly corresponds with the molecular weight. The solutions used showed different rates at which hemolyse took place. It was observed that the heavier or larger molecules took longer for the process to occur. As well, the polarity of the compound affects the diffusion if solutes in the permeability experiment: these factors affect the diffusion of solutes differently.
