Exercise 1 – Potato Change in Mass versus Sucrose Concentrations Introduction: This exercise involves estimating the osmotic concentration of potato tuber cells by using a change in mass method. The null hypothesis states that there will be no change of mass of the potato disks after they have been incubated in any sucrose solution. This means that the concentration of sucrose that the potatoes are in will no effect the movement of water in or out of the potato cells. However‚ the alternative hypothesis

the effect of osmosis In potato cells Introduction I am doing an experiment to find out the effect that osmosis has on Water solution and a Sugar solution. Osmosis is a process which water moves from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. I am going to record my results to see if osmosis occurs in water solution of sugar solution. Apparatus In this experiment I would need; - 1) 3 test tube 2) A beaker 3) A cork borer 4) A Knife

Joscely Garris Professor Vinh Hoang CHEM 1151L – 254 25 October 2013 Preparation of Viscous Solution This report discusses an experiment to study the relationship of solute/solvent and the calculations involved to measure the concentration of the solution. The first experiment to take place is the preparation of a salad dressing using xanthan gum solution‚ water and oil. Commonly used as a food thickening agent‚ Xanthan gum is a large molecule composed of several saccharides linked together

the solution absorbance using a spectrophotometer are the techniques that will be used in this experiment. The absorbance measurement gives the concentration of FeSCN2+. The concentrations of Fe3+ and SCN- are obtained as the difference between the initial concentration and the concentration consumed by the formation of the FeSCN2+. The combined concentrations will be used to calculate an equilibrium constant for the formation of the complex. The reaction for the formation of the dark red FeSCN2+

therefore water will diffuse into the cell by a process of osmosis. The opposite however will occur when the water potential outside the cell is lower than that inside the cell (i.e. with hypotonic solutions‚ such as a solution with a sucrose concentration of 1m and 0.75m). This is due to the water potential outside the cell being less than that inside the cell and therefore water moves out of the cell by osmosis. With a larger water potential gradient‚ more particles will move in order to balance

Investigating the Osmosis Effect in Potato Cores Aim The aim of this experiment is to investigate the osmosis effect in potato cores while they are submerged in different concentrations of sucrose solution. Osmosis will take place while the potatoes are fully submerged in the sucrose solution. Apparatus æ Scalpel (1) æ Tile (1) æ Pr.

SPEC20 with a wavelength of 630nm. We calculated the molar concentration of each dilution using the formula M1V1=M2V2 We determined the linear relationship between transmittance and molarity by taking the inverse log(-logT) of percent transmittance(in decimal form). We determined the relationship between transmittance and molarity by graphing the data table.

movement of water from a region of higher concentration ( hypertonic ) to a region of lower concentration ( hypotonic solution ) through a cell membrane or other semi-permeable membrane until an equilibrium is reached. It is a special case of diffusion called “ passive transport “ which means no energy is required. Diffusion is the movement of a substance by which the molecules move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Aim Our aim of the experiment was to

experiment at room temperature. EXPERIMENT OBJECTIVE The objective of this experiment is to develop an understanding of the molecular basis of diffusion and osmosis and its physiological importance. Students will analyze how solute size and concentration affect diffusion across semi-permeable membranes and how these processes affect water potential. Students will also calculate water potential of plant cells. EDVOTEK‚ Inc. • 1-800-EDVOTEK • www.edvotek.com EVT 080423AM 2 AP Biology
