The purpose of this lab was to observe how molarity concentration affects diffusion.The lab was primarily based on osmosis and diffusion. Diffusion is when the movement of molecules from a high concentration that go to a low concentration to a high concentration to eventually reach an equilibrium. Osmosis is when water will diffuse from high water concentration to low water concentration to reach equilibrium. When the solutions are different the lower concentration solute is hypotonic while the higher

though the stomates open to release water‚ it also brings in carbon dioxide to produce sugar and oxygen through a process of photosynthesis. The water absorbed by the roots is moved by osmosis‚ root pressure‚ adhesion‚ and cohesion from high to low areas of water potential. From the roots‚ water is transported with osmosis with a pressure pulling the water and minerals up towards the leaves. It is the transpirational pull moving it up with the help of cohesion and adhesion. Transpiration decreases the

In this lab was divided into two parts. The first part was varying the concentration and the second part was varying the temperature. All cells are controlled by a cell membrane

as in the left‚ would you be able to observe any diffusion? No they would be equal Does being unable to observe diffusion necessarily mean that diffusion is not taking place? No the rate of diffusion may be either very rapid or gradual. 4th : Osmosis Did you observe any pressure changes during this experiment ? if so in which beakers and which membranes? I did not notice any pressure changes. Why? Both of the pressures in the beakers were not equal. Did the Na/Cl diffuse from the left beaker

solution from another by osmosis. The higher the osmotic pressure of a solution‚ the more water tends to move into it. Pressure must be exerted on the hypertonic side of a selectively permeable membrane to prevent diffusion of water by osmosis from the side containing pure water. Osmotic concentration refers to the measure of solute concentration‚ defined as the number of osmoles of solute per litre of solution. These particles must be osmotically active for the process of osmosis to take place. Keeping

3 1. The pressure will increase due to the increased concentration of sodium chloride. The pressure increased. 2. Neither one requires ATP. Simple diffusion is the movement of a solute from an area of HIGH to LOW solute concentration but osmosis is the movement of water from an area of LOW to High solute concentration. 3. Because water moves toward the HIGH concentration of solutes. 4. We know the pressure will increase in the albumin beaker because it is more impermeable than glucose

of this lab was to depicked the many properties of diffusion such as isotonic‚ hypotnonic‚ and hypertonic‚ so that students could have a clear visual example to go by for future refrences. We also did this to learn about selective permeability and osmosis. Our original hypothesis stated that the vinegar would react with the calcium in the shell to create CO2 bubbles. Note I said the original hypothesis as this experiment took coarse over a four day period‚ in which a new variable was added each day

molecular weight is‚ the faster the diffusion gets. The Starch did not pass through the membrane because it is composed of Polysaccharide made up of many Glucose molecules‚ which makes it heavier than one single Glucose molecule to pass through.

Osmosis is the passive diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from a down a concentration gradient. The water potential of a system is the tendency for water to exit the system. In this experiment the aim was to measure the
