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

reducing sugar) to form copper oxide‚ thus turning it from blue to a brick red/orange precipitate. The more red the precipitate is‚ the higher the concentration of reducing sugar in the solution tested. If more precipitate has formed‚ there are fewer copper ions remaining in the Benedict’s Reagent‚ therefore‚ the solution will appear less blue. This can be measured using a colorimeter‚ as it is known that the concentration of a substance is proportional to its absorbance of light. Fructose is the sugar

Osmosis Lab Report The essential focus of the experiment was to acquire data for the mass change resulting from osmosis in order to determine the carbohydrate solution of the carrot cells. The carrots were a vegetable used within the experiment with a carbohydrate solution around .5 M. The hypothesis is if there are carrots in different carbohydrate solutions then there will be a percent change in mass. The carrots have large vacuoles that hold water‚ this allows the mass to increase when the hypertonic

Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration‚ to an area of low concentration. So‚ Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area where there are lots of water molecules to an area where there are few water molecules. Our aim is to find the concentration of dissolved substances in the cells of a potato using Osmosis. I predict that the potato in the higher concentration of salt

demonstrate the process of osmosis using potatoes‚ and to determine the concentration of the cytoplasm of the potato. To demonstrate this‚ we had 6 test tubes and poured in different sucrose solutions of the following concentrations: 0.0M‚ 0.1M‚ 0.2M‚ 0.5M‚ and 1.0M. Once added in with all the sucrose solutions‚ we added in the 6 cylindrical potatoes of equal diameter and length. Before and after putting it in the potatoes‚ we had to weigh the initial and the final mass of each potato. After you have left

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

Effects of Overpopulation Depletion of Natural Resources: The effects of overpopulation are quite severe. The first of these is the depletion of resources. The Earth can only produce a limited amount of water and food‚ which is falling short of the current needs. Most of the environmental damage being seen in the last fifty odd years is because of the growing number of people on the planet. They are cutting down forests‚ hunting wildlife in a reckless manner‚ causing pollution and creating

of the potato piece must be kept the same in each experiment primarily because they affect the surface area of the piece‚ and varying surface area could have a great effect on the rate of osmosis. This is because in an experiment where the potato chip has a large surface area‚ there is a larger area of partially permeable membrane and therefore more opportunity for water particles to pass through. I will keep the surface area the same by keeping the mass and length of the potato piece
