Bella Nelson 11/25/12 Regents Biology 3BCD Osmosis and Plasmolysis Problem: What is the effect of Osmosis on a chicken egg? What is the effect of different solutions with various concentrations on plant cells? Hypothesis: 1. In an animal cell in a hypertonic solution the egg will swell‚ in a hypotonic solution the egg will swell. 2. In a plant cell in a hypertonic solution it will shrink‚ and in a hypotonic solution

concentration of free energy. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmosis) Plasmolysis plays an important role in Osmosis. It is the process in plant cells in which the cytoplasm is extracted away from the cell wall due to the loss of water via osmosis. This process occurs in a hypertonic solution. When a plant cell is in a hypertonic solution‚ the water in the cells move to a region of higher solute concentration. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmolysis) This results to the cell shrinking and in doing so; it becomes

Define solvent‚ solute‚ solution‚ selectively permeable‚ diffusion‚ osmosis‚ concentration gradient‚ equilibrium‚ turgid‚ plasmolyzed‚ plasmolysis‚ turgor pressure‚ tonicity‚ hypertonic‚ isotonic‚ hypotonic; 2. Describe the effects of hypertonic‚ isotonic‚ and hypotonic solutions on Elodea leaf cells and onion scale leafs. Introduction: Membrane permeability is a quality of a cell’s plasma membrane that allows substances to pass in

called cytolysis that occurs when a cell burst due to an osmotic imbalance that has caused excess of water to move into the cell. When hypertonic happens is when the water of the cells passes trough osmosis into the environment and this is when plasmolysis happen that is the process in which cells lose water so the cell shrinks. AIM: To investigate the osmolarity

sucrose solution would cause “Incipient Plasmolysis”. Theory Plasmolysis is the result of a (in particular) plant cell which has lost vast amounts of water. When this happens‚ turgor pressure within the cell has decreased to the point where the cytoplasm of the cell membrane peels away from the cell wall. When this begins to happen it is called Incipient Plasmolysis and when the cytoplasm is almost completely gone it is call “full/complete” Plasmolysis. Plasmolysis is only possible if the cell is placed

because a plant needs its nutrients and a full vacuole makes it stand tall (turgar pressure). In a hypertonic solution‚ the vacuoles lose water; the cytoplasm shrinks and chloroplast are seen in the center of the cell. A word that describes this is plasmolysis. This is bad for a plant cell because the retraction of the cell membrane causes it to rupture/tear. In this experiment we tested potatoes and put them through some solutions that
