O Levels Biology (5090)•5090/12/M/J/22
Question 20 from 5090/12/M/J/22

Explanation

Dialysis selectively removes urea, not glucose Steps:

  • Dialysis filters blood to remove waste like urea via diffusion across a semi-permeable membrane.
  • Urea concentration decreases as it diffuses into the dialysate.
  • Glucose concentration remains stable, as dialysate matches blood glucose levels to prevent net diffusion.
  • Select graph with falling urea line and flat glucose line.

Why C is correct:

  • C depicts decreasing urea and constant glucose, aligning with dialysis principle of waste removal without altering essential solutes.

Why the others are wrong:

  • A: Shows both decreasing, incorrectly implying glucose removal.
  • B: Displays glucose rising, contradicting stable dialysate composition.
  • D: Illustrates urea stable and glucose falling, reversing actual trends.

Final answer: C
