Outline: To investigate the effect of varying concentration of a certain sugar solution on the amount of osmotic activity between the solution and a potato chip of a given size. Definition - Osmosis: Movement of a solvent (liquid) through a semi-permeable membrane separating solutions of different concentrations. The solvent passes from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution until the two concentrations are equal. All cell membranes behave as semi

Potato Tubers Andrew Dickson Background When a plant cell is bathed in a solution of the same concentration (isotonic) as its intracellular environment‚ its mass and volume remain the same. This is because water enters and leaves the cells at the same rate. There is no net loss or gain of water by osmosis. Samples of cells can be placed in a range of solutions of different concentration. The cells will gain water by osmosis when placed in solutions which are more dilute (hypotonic) than

their higher concentration to their lower concentration‚ water will move across the membrane in response to this concentration. While conducting this lab we were able to observe passive transport through diffusion and osmosis. Introduction Osmosis is a specialized case of diffusion that involves the passive transport of water. When osmosis occurs water moves through a selectively permeable membrane from a region of its higher concentration to a region of its lower concentration. The membrane

of diffusion but is the movement of water molecules in and out of the cells from a high concentration to low concentration through a semi permeable membrane. The aim of the experiment is to investigate the effect the salinity of solutions has on the process of osmosis and net weight gain/ loss by potato cells. This would be done by using similar size potato cubes and covering them with different concentrations of saline solutions (0.5% and 2.0%) in beakers then measuring the change in weight of the

Introduction: Osmosis is the diffusion of water from a higher concentration to a lower one through a semi-permeable membrane and occurs in the cells of organisms. It is affected by the addition of solute which would lower the water potential‚ making water potential and solute concentration inversely related. The concept of osmosis loosely described is that the presence of more solute outside the cell means the presence of less solvent (or water molecules in this case) and vice versa; the goal of

that the response of the tissue increased with bath concentration of ACh (M). The logarithms of bath concentration for each response were used to form a clear sigmoidal formation‚ and thus depict a more clear relationship between concentration and response. Figure 1 shows the increasing rate of response as bath concentration increased‚ before plateauing around the highest concentrations. Responses ranged from 0.685-100%‚ while bath concentrations of ACh ranged from 2 x 10-10 M to 8 x 10-6 M (see

thiosulphate is affected by the concentration of the acid Simple Procedure Place a conical flask on a piece of paper with a cross on it. Add hydrochloric acid and sodium thiosulphate‚ and record the amount of time taken for the cross to disappear through the solution from the top of the flask. Record this time and repeat this for different concentrations of hydrochloric acid. Fair Test The variables in this test are: The concentration of hydrochloric acid The concentration of sodium thiosulphate

basic facts. We define diffusion as movement of materials from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. This movement is due to kinetic energy of particles. An example of this can be observed by opening a bottle of perfume. Soon you will smell the perfume in distant parts of the room. It diffuses from the high concentration of molecules in the bottle to a lower concentration of molecules in the air. Osmosis is a type of diffusion. It involves movement

So the question is‚ which solid would have a higher rate of diffusion through the agar‚ methylene blue or potassium permanganate? Diffusion is the movement of particles from a high region of concentration to a region of low concentration until there is equal distribution of said particles. The concentration gradient is what caused the
