POTENTIAL II OVERVIEW In this laboratory you will investigate the effect of solute concentration on water potential as it relates to living plant tissues. OBJECTIVES Before you begin this lab you should understand: - the mechanisms of diffusion and osmosis and their importance to cells - the concept of water potential - the relationship between solute concentration‚ pressure potential and the water potential of a solution - the concept of molarity and its relationship to osmotic concentration **also

will be able to freely cross the membrane and do not affect tonicity because they will always be in equal concentrations on both sides of the membrane. Also‚ water will flow from a hypotonic solution to hypertonic. 4- Explain the direction of osmosis and effects of tonicity (hypotonic‚ hypertonic‚ or isotonic) in plant and animal cells. Use lab results in your explanation. If a cell is placed in an isotonic solution‚ the cell will maintain its normal volume because no osmotic pressure is occurred

Activity 1: Stimulating Dialysis (Simple Diffusion) 1. Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. The two variables that affect the rate of diffusion are: • The composition of the lipid layer‚ this content varies from tissue to tissue. For example kidney tissues have a high cholesterol content which makes them impermeable to water. • The size of the molecule‚ the larger the molecule the slower the rate of diffusion. 2. Why do you think the urea was not able to diffuse

a dynamic structure which gives them their remarkable activity and selectivity. (Hickman‚ 2008). Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to a lower concentration until they reach Equilibrium. (Hickman‚ 2008).Osmosis happens when water diffuses across the membrane from the region of lower solute concentration (higher free water concentration) to that of higher solute concentration (lower free water concentration) until the solute concentrations on both sides of

Activity 3 Simulating Osmotic Pressure 1. Explain the effect that increasing the Na+Cl− concentration had on osmotic pressure and why it has this effect. How well did the results compare with your prediction? ___ ___ 2. Describe one way in which osmosis is similar to simple diffusion and one way in which it is different. ___ ___ 3. Solutes are sometimes measured in milliosmoles. Explain the statement‚ “Water chases milliosmoles.” ___ ___ 4. The conditions were 9 mM albumin in the left beaker

Osmosis is the diffusion of a water through a semi-permeable membrane‚ from a solution of low solute concentration to a solution with high solute concentration. It is a physical process in which a solvent moves‚ without input of energy‚
