THE EFFECT OF THE WATER CONCENTRATION GRADIENT ON THE RATE OF OSMOSIS Investigation Folio: Summative Stage 1 Biology: SEMESTER 1 2014 MARCIA SHAW - 151003X INTRODUCTION Diffusion: is when something spreads more widely from a higher concentration gradient to a lower concentration gradient. Diffusion is the process from which molecules‚ atoms or ions mingle together and move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration as a result to their kinetic energy. for example

Cell Size: Is Bigger Better? Problem: Why are cells small? Objective: To see the relationship between cell size and diffusion of materials. Hypothesis: If we cut three different sizes of cells‚ then the smallest one will survive the longest due to its sufficient permeable membrane.

using protein carriers. Examples of active transport are endocytosis‚ exocytosis‚ and phagocytosis. Passive transport does not require energy it is powered by the concentration gradient of the molecule. Examples of passive transport are diffusion‚ facilitated diffusion‚ filtration‚ and osmosis. In our Osmosis Lab I used a Grade a large egg from the grocery store. Its circumference is 5 ½ inches it is smooth with no cracks. I carefully place the egg in a clear plastic cup and fill the cup with vinegar

1.0 Introduction 1.1 Aim and Assumptions: The aim of this experiment is to observe the rate of diffusion of diethyl ether vapour into stagnant air‚ and then determine the diffusivity. An error analysis of this calculation also had to be carried out. The following assumptions made were: * Diethyl Ether is an ideal gas * Partial pressure at the top of the tube was equal to zero * Mass transfer resistance between the liquid surface at the bottom of the tube is insufficient‚ compared with the

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

in the artificial cells to the diffusion rate using the phenolphthalein-NaOH agar and the HCl solution. Lab #2 was a model of diffusion and osmosis‚ in which we filled the model cells with different solutions and determined the rate of diffusion. In lab #3‚ the results demonstrated the interactions between selectively permeable membranes‚ water‚ and solutes and how they are important in cellular and organismal functions. In lab #1‚ the results showed the diffusion rate between the certain time period

Examining Diffusion and Osmosis Introduction: Purpose: 1. To simulate and observe the diffusion of solutes and the osmosis of water through a semipermeable membrane through color change and sugar tests. 2. To speculate osmosis occurring in dialysis bags and potato cores by comparing percentage change in masses. Background information: Molecules are always in random‚ constant movement due to their kinetic energy. This causes the molecules of a cell to move around and bump into each other

effect of concentration of acid on the rate of diffusion in agar blocks? Aim: To investigate how the concentration affects the rate of diffusion of hydrochloric acid through agar blocks Research Question: To determine how will different concentrations (0.1M‚ 0.2M‚ 0.3M‚ 0.4M‚ 0.5M) of hydrochloric acid affect the rate of diffusion of sodium chloride through agar blocks?
