Virtual Lab: Osmosis and Diffusion - Selecting the Optimal Solution for Intravenous Administration

Participate in the mission to save Franks life by selecting the appropriate saline solution for an intravenous drip. Team up with Dr. One in the laboratory to explore the concepts of hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic solutions, as well as the mechanisms of water transport across the cell membrane through osmosis.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this simulation, you will be able to:

Comprehend the role of solute concentration in influencing the transport of molecules through a semipermeable membrane.
Differentiate between the processes of osmosis and diffusion.
Provide definitions for osmosis and for hypotonic, hypertonic, and isotonic solutions.
Draw comparisons and contrasts between osmosis occurring in hypotonic and hypertonic solutions.

How do virtual labs work?

Enhance students' involvement in science by immersing them in interactive learning scenarios. Create simulations for experiments, provide hands-on training in laboratory techniques, and convey theoretical concepts through captivating visual experiences to improve their overall long-term learning outcomes.
