Aim To investigate the effects of increasing salinity on potato cell mass. Background Information This experiment is based upon osmosis. Osmosis can be defined as the net movement of water molecules from a region with high concentration to a region with low concentration. This movement must take place across a partially permeable membrane such as a cell wall‚ which lets smaller molecules such as water through but does not allow bigger molecules to pass through. This process will take place until

sed. it it takes about a day till all of the carbon is out of the egg. then it becomes soft. 4. the process of osmosis‚ water moves through the permeable membrane of the lettuce cells. the lettuce then becomes crisp.Osmosis is the process in which water moves from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. A membrane is not needed to actually do osmosis but osmosis can occur in the presence of a membrane. but the lettuce in the water becomes firm because of the cell membrane structure

Membrane Functions: Aim: To demonstrate the process of osmosis using a chicken’s egg Hypothesis: I predict that the egg’s mass after 10 min. in the 5% salt solution would increase due to and balancing out the solution. In the 10% salt solution‚ the egg’s mass would decrease since there is a high amount of salt. In the dilute water solution‚ the egg’s mass will increase‚ as the membrane would take in that water. Materials: 1- One fresh egg 2- One plastic spoon 3- One plastic fork

BIOLOGY OSMOSIS LAB REPORT 1. Research Question/ Aim How do the different sodium chloride concentrations of solutions affect the length (measured in mm) and mass (measured in grams) of potato cores placed in them overnight (approximately 10 hours)? 2. Hypothesis Alternative hypothesis: As the concentration of sodium chloride in the solution increases‚ the mass of the potato cores will decrease. If the solution they are in has a lower water potential than the potato cores‚ there will be

Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. Size of material and concentration 2. Why do you think the urea was not able to diffuse through the 20 MWCO membrane? How well did the results compare with your prediction? The molecules were too large to pass through. This is what I predicted

to the leaves of a plant. At first water enters the root by osmosis because the soil water has a lower solute concentration of minerals than the epidermal cell cytoplasm (there is a water potential gradient). Water movement across the cortex cell is by two pathways both involving a water potential gradient. The cortex cell cytoplasm has a solute concentration gradient. This moves water symplastically from cell to cell by osmosis. The Apoplastic pathway moves water by capillary action of mass

Abstract: The importance of this computerized simulation study was to gain an understanding of the processes that account for the movement of substances across the plasma membrane‚ and to indicate the driving force for each. This may also be applied to the study of transport mechanisms in living membrane-bounded cells. Also‚ understanding of which way substances will move passively through a deferentially permeable membrane depending on the concentration differences. We used PhysioEx software to
