The first article discusses a conceptual assessment of osmosis and diffusion concepts administered to 670 biology students across various course levels. The assessment aimed to align with program goals and use relevant examples. Results found no significant differences in student performance across course levels or semesters. The second article examines the impact of dialysis type on quality of life in patients with renal insufficiency. A questionnaire was administered and found that peritoneal dialysis patients rated their quality of life higher than hemodialysis patients, particularly in ability to work or study and life plans. Peritoneal dialysis patients also reported stronger will to live.

LIBRARY WORK:

• Define diffusion, colloid, net diffusion and dialysis

Diffusion
- the procedure of movement of molecules underneath a concentration gradient. It is
indeed a significant mechanism that exists throughout all living beings. Diffusion
assists throughout the flow of substances into or out of the cells. That molecules shift
from either a higher-concentration region to a lower-concentration region till the
whole concentration appears equal.

Colloids
- are just a mixture where one of the substances is separated into some very tiny
particles that are distributed in such a second material. Colloidal particles are
considered minute particles. Alternatively, we could also assume the colloids were
essentially formulations ranging from 1 nm to 1000 nm with solute particle size.
Throughout nature, colloids become heterogeneous.

Net diffusion
- would be when the flow with one direction of a solvent particle is greater than in the
flow throughout the opposite direction of a solvent particle.

Dialysis
- is the method of extracting wastes and extra fluid from its body. Dialysis is required
whenever the kidneys are unable to process enough blood properly.

• In an A4 bond paper research at least two (2) journals / articles about diffusion,
colloid, and dialysis by following the format (Times New Roman font 13, landscape)
