Effects of Osmosis and Diffusion The experimentation of last week’s lab was in order to test the many effects of diffusion and osmosis amongst four experiments. One such experiment was testing the effects of molecular weight on diffusion in relation to the use of Agar. The methods performed included the use of two acids‚ HCl and acetic acid. Both acids were placed into an Agar-filled dish and‚ over increments of 15 minutes‚ data collection was taken based off the diffusion rate and the diameter

LAB EXERCISE: Diffusion and Osmosis Laboratory Objectives After completing this lab topic‚ you should be able to: 1. Describe the mechanism of diffusion at the molecular level. 2. List several factors that influence the rate of diffusion. 3. Explain why diffusion is important to cells. 4. Describe a selectively permeable membrane‚ and explain its role in osmosis. 5. Define hypotonic‚ hypertonic‚ and isotonic in terms of relative concentrations of osmotically active substances. 6. Discuss

1. The epidermal layer of an onion is scaled off carefully and placed on a drop of distilled water on the glass slide; 2. The glass slide is slowly lowered down on the epidermal layer using the needle; 3. The onion cells are examined through the microscope; 4. The structure of the onion cells is drawn as observed under the microscope. Results & Observations: In the hypotonic solution the water will move from the solution to the onion cells which will become bigger.

The Effect of Molecular Weight and Time on the Diffusion Rate of Potassium Permanganate‚ Potassium Dichromate‚ and Methylene Blue.1 Arantxa Alex Carpio Group 1 Sec. X – 4L March 24‚ 2015 ABSTRACT The effect of molecular weight and time on the rate of diffusion was determined using the agar-water gel test. A petri dish of agar-water gel with three wells was prepared and a prepared solution of each substance was dropped on each well; one with potassium permanganate (KMnO4)‚

Diffusion And Osmosis Abstract In this Diffusion and Osmosis lab a total of three experiments were performed. For experiment 5.1 we investigate diffusion through a selectively permeable membrane and the many factors that influence the rates of diffusion. In experiment 5.2 we investigate both animal and plant cells in different molar solutions and the different osmotic behaviors within the cells. In experiment 5.3 we test the osmolarity of plant cells through the usage of potato tuber cells

The Cell membrane surrounds all living cells and is the most important organelle‚ there is also a similar plasma membrane that surrounds all the organelles except for the ribosome. The membrane controls how and what substances can move in and out of the cell/organelle The structure of the membrane is often referred to as the “Fluid Mosaic Model”; this is because of the way it is structured It is composed of phospholipids‚ proteins‚ and carbohydrates‚ which are arranged in a fluid

Introduction Osmosis is the 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

Determining the Rate of Osmosis through a Semi-Permeable Membrane Schneider‚ Justin* Sec 16 and Thomas Hudson Introduction Water is the principle solvent in cells. There are three conditions that a cell may be subjected to in the cells physical environment. The cells may be isotonic‚ hypotonic‚ and hypertonic. Isotonic is when the cell and is environment have equal concentrations of solutes. Therefore cells in an isotonic solution do not experience osmosis. When the cell is hypotonic it

Lab Activity No. __ Diffusion and Osmosis I. Introduction Diffusion is the transfer of molecules (or ions) from an area of higher concentration to a lower concentration‚ while osmosis is the transfer of water from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. II. Objectives 1. Demonstrate diffusion and osmosis across membrane. 2. Examine the relation of membrane permeability to diffusion and osmosis. III. Materials 2 thistle tubes‚ 2 big beakers‚ 4 tube clamps to fit iron stands
