OSMOTIC POTENTIAL OF CELL SAP OF PLANT EPIDERMAL CELLS Aim: The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the effects that the molarity of the sucrose solution and distilled water have on the plasmolisys of epidermal cells of a red onion. Hypothesis: Taking in consideration osmosis‚ and my knowledge about it‚ my prediction is that as the molarity of the solution under which the cells are exposed will increase‚ also the amount of plasmolysed cells‚ counted from amount of undamaged cells

Julia Babin Ms. Bukola 11/6/2012 Bio Lab W 8 Cell Structure and Function Prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus. Eukaryotic cells do contain a nucleus. Organisms are eukaryotic except Bacteria and Achaea. Organelles are small membranous bodies‚ each with a specific structure and function. Prokaryotes do have cytoplasm‚ which is the material bounded by a plasma membrane and cell wall. This contains ribosomes‚ small granules that coordinate the synthesis of proteins

PROCEDURE: Part A (Effect of temperature on growth) 1) 15 tubes of glucose broth are provided and one set of 3 tubes are inoculated with each of the following cultures; Escherichia coli‚ Pseudomonas fluorescens‚ Micrococcus luteus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The last served as control. 2) One of the three tube of each culture is incubated at each of the following temperature: * 4°C * 37°C * 55°C 3) All the tubes are incubated within 5 minutes after inoculating.

the cell by osmosis‚ through the cell membrane. Water is lost first from the cytoplasm‚ then the vacuole through the tonoplast. The living contents of the cell contracts and eventually pulls away from the cell wall and shrinks‚ this is known as Plasmolysis. If you put a plant cell in water‚ water enters by Osmosis‚ then swells up. However‚ the cell will not burst. This is due to the fact that the cell walls are made from cellulose‚ which is extremely strong. Eventually‚ the cell stops swelling

Find below a list of questions some students have put together. I have typed them out for you‚ and I have also modified some of them‚ so I hope you don’t mind. Once you have printed the questions‚ fold the paper in half (lengthways)‚ and cut out the Q & A to test yourself MICROSCOPES AND MAGNIFICATION QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS What does resolution mean? The ability to distinguish between points that are close together What does magnification mean? The extent to which an image has been enlarged

solution water will move from the cell into the solution until the cell shrinks(1). Further water loss causes can cause the cells protoplasm to peel away from the cell wall leaving a gap between the cell wall and the cell membrane‚ a process called plasmolysis(1) However if the cell is placed in a hypotonic solution‚ water will move from the solution into the cell and cause the cell to burst (1). A cell in an isotonic solution neither swells nor shrinks because there is no concentration gradient for

Simple diffusion The term simple diffusion refers to a process whereby a substance passes through a membrane without the aid of an intermediary such as a integral membrane protein. The force that drives the substance from one side of the membrane to the other is the force of diffusion. In order for substances to pass through a cell membrane by simple diffusion it must penetrate the hydrophobic core of the phospholipid bilayer. The types of molecules that can do this are themselves substantially

concentrated solution of water‚ water then passes through the cell wall‚ the cell membrane‚ and the cytoplasm and into the vacuole. The increased pressure of water inside the vacuole is called Turgor pressure. Then the cell becomes turgid. Plasmolysis is the opposite of turgor. This happens when plant cells may be placed in a less concentrated solution of water‚ although this is very unlikely to happen in nature. Water passes out of the vacuole‚ the cytoplasm‚ the cell membrane and the cell wall

Osmosis is a passive movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane moves from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. In this lab‚ we can determine the direction of diffusion of small molecules by measuring the diffusion of small molecules through dialysis tubing. This tubing acts as a selectively permeable membrane‚ and allow to pass larger molecules slowly. Introduction: Cells have kinetic energy and it causes the molecules of the cell to move around
