Answer #1

TRUE - Dialysis membrane is like cell membrane

Dialysis is a process of purifying blood when the kidneys are not functional and in dialysis the blood is allowed to pass through a semipermeable membrane that is similar to cell membrane, the foreign components and also waste products in blood are separated through their size. The dialysis membrane has numerous pores in that of different sizes that only allow the particles of small size while not allowing the components of blood and plasma. Like wise the blood is purified from the toxicants. In such a way dialysis membrane carry out diffusion and osmosis as like the normal cell membrane does. Like the cell membrane the dialysis membrane has pores in it, also the dialysis membrane is selectively permeable membrane.
