Lab # 2 Diffusion & Osmosis Introduction Kinetic energy‚ a root of energy stored in cells‚ causes molecules to hit into each other and move in new directions. Diffusion is the result of this contact. Diffusion is the random movement of molecules to an area of lower concentration from an area of higher concentration. Osmosis is a type of diffusion. This is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water

because of osmosis. The only thing that the hypothesis lacked was that starch did not move at all. The beaker stayed yellow before and after because the bag is not permeable to starch. 4B- The hypothesis was supported because the diffusion rate was faster shown from the agar blocks. The materials passed through the membrane easily and quickly in the small cells than the large‚ making them more efficient. The smaller the cell is‚ the faster it can transport signals. The bigger cell took longer because
Premium Osmosis Diffusion Concentration
Diffusion is the molecular net movement from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. For instance‚ when a person is smoking‚ the smoke diffuses into the air. The molecules in the smoke‚ released from the cigarette‚ travel through the air. Here is how it occurs. When molecules are close enough‚ they collide with each other‚ their kinetic energy changes. Due to the direct relationship between diffusion and molecular kinetic energy‚ the molecules move away from the point of the collision as

Introduction: Diffusion and osmosis are passive processes of transport. Passive transport involves no disbursement of energy by the cell. Diffusion movement is from high concentration to low concentration‚ which the driving force for this type of movement is kinetic energy particles themselves. Which crystal (Methylene blue‚ solid or Potassium Permanganate KMnO4-purple) will move further than the other due to the driving force (kinetic energy)? My prediction is that Potassium Permanganate KMnO4-

1. Provide aim and background information 1.1 Diffusion is the process which molecules dissipate into a solution evenly over a period of time. An example is putting sugar in your coffee‚ after a while if you don ’t mix the solution‚ the sucrose will over time‚ go through the process of diffusion and be distributed throughout the coffee. Osmosis is movement of H2O molecules passing through a permeable cell membrane to the less concentrated solution‚ eventually to reach an equivalent number of molecules

Lab Report Diffusion is - One of two kinds of passive transport‚ - Diffusion can transport ions from higher concentration to lower concentration region without any other forces. - A net movement of molecules in and out of cell membrane - Diffusion can be affected by the steepness of the concentration gradient. Lab question: Is the rate of diffusion influenced by the presence of second molecule? Prediction: the rate of diffusion is influenced by the presence of second molecule

Process of Diffusion and its importance in living organisms Diffusion is the movement of molecules or ions down a concentration gradient i.e. from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. For a diffusion system to be efficient‚ it should have a large surface area so that high amount of substances can be exchanged at a time. It should also have a thin membrane and a continuous supply of substances‚ as a thin membrane means that the diffusion pathway would be short‚ and the continuous
