Potato Osmosis and Diffusion Lab Report Emily Cocq Research Question: Will there be a difference in the experimented potato cores after being subjected to high concentrations of sugar? Introduction: Water can move through protein channels in cell membrane/cell walls. The water will move due to the water potential of the cells. If there is a greater concentration of solutes (chemicals) inside the cell than outside the cell and the chemicals can not move‚ then water will respond by moving

Aim: The aim of this experiment is to investigate the movement of water into and out of plant cells by osmosis. The cells chosen for study will be taken from potato tubes as they provide a ready supply of homogeneous material. I did the investigation in two parts‚ the first part of my investigation was my preliminary investigation and then I did my official investigation. In both of my investigations there are several similarities‚ such as fair testing‚ variables‚ key variables‚ reliability

the concentration in the potato cubes‚ the percentage of weight change in potato cubes will be higher (positive). If the concentration of the salt solution is the same as the concentration in the cell‚ there will be no net movement of water through osmosis therefore there will be no percentage of weight change in potato cubes 2) The osmolarity of salt within the potato cubes lie between 0.8% and 1.0%. Thus saying‚ solutions of salt ranging from 0.0%(distilled water) to 0.8% will be hypotonic while the

Lab # 2 Diffusion & Osmosis Introduction Kinetic energy‚ a root of energy stored in cells‚ causes molecules to hit into each other and move in new directions. Diffusion is the result of this contact. Diffusion is the random movement of molecules to an area of lower concentration from an area of higher concentration. Osmosis is a type of diffusion. This is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water

surroundings‚ it tries to make concentration of solution inside and outside itself equal. However‚ the solutes are too big to pass the cell membranes without the help of channel proteins‚ or transport proteins. Water may freely pass through the membrane by osmosis‚ which requires no energy. Thus‚ the cell starts to take in‚ or release‚ water until it is isotionic to its

Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules from an area of high concentration of sucrose solution to an area of lower concentration of sucrose solution‚ through a selectively permeable membrane. The water molecules move down a concentration gradient in osmosis. Two diagrams of osmosis are shown in figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 shows the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of highly concentrated sucrose solution to an area of lower concentrated sucrose solution

Introduction: Diffusion and osmosis are passive processes of transport. Passive transport involves no disbursement of energy by the cell. Diffusion movement is from high concentration to low concentration‚ which the driving force for this type of movement is kinetic energy particles themselves. Which crystal (Methylene blue‚ solid or Potassium Permanganate KMnO4-purple) will move further than the other due to the driving force (kinetic energy)? My prediction is that Potassium Permanganate KMnO4-

Reverse Osmosis Application Assignment Osmosis is the dissemination of water atoms through a semi-permeable layer from areas of high to low concentration in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentration on both sides. In real life osmosis is found in roots of plants retain water from the dirt‚ and kidneys taking water from blood [5]. Reverse osmosis is the removal of solute from water by applying pressure to the water and moving the solution through a semi-permeable membrane. It is
