produced the most oxygen of all three trials. Heat tends to increase the rate of chemical reactions‚ explained in the article Temperature Effects (Introduction to Enzymes) by Chris Jamison. “Like most chemical reactions‚ the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction increases as the temperature is raised. A ten degree rise in temperature will increase the activity of most enzymes by 50 to 100% . Variations in reaction temperature as small as 1 or 2 degrees

The first step to this experiment is being completely protected from any possible harm that could possibly occur as a consequence of the practical test. Therefore‚ a lab coat‚ safety gloves with clean hands and goggles must be worn before starting the experiment. The initial room temperature should be calculated using a thermometer and a marker is used to name beakers 1 and 2. Divide the 10 test tubes into two groups and name them 1-5 in both groups. 5 different stopwatches are used to record the

Introduction This experiment was osmosis and diffusion. In this experiment I began by calculating the volume of a fresh chicken egg. Then to determine the effect of osmotic pressure change on a cell I soaked the raw chicken egg in vinegar for 24 hrs‚ and measured the volume of the egg after the shell had been dissolved by the vinegar. The egg was then submerged in corn syrup for 1-24 hrs‚ then measured and recorded the new egg volume. Finally the egg was submerged in water for 1-24hrs‚ again the

Practical Work Nº2: “Different methods to control osmosis” Aim: observe and test the process of osmosis through different kinds of methods: the weigh (potato)‚ the density (beetroot) and under the light microscope (onion). Hypothesis: according to the encyclopedia definition osmosis is the diffusion of a liquid (most often assumed to be water‚ but it can be any liquid solvent) through a partially-permeable membrane from a region of high solvent potential to a region of low solvent potential. Thus

Osmosis Design Lab November 19‚ 2011 Biology Defining the Problem and Selecting the Variables Research Question: What will happen to mass of the cell when it is placed in different solutions while trying to reach equilibrium? Background Information Osmosis is the procedure where water or different types of liquids move through a semipermeable membrane. This type of passage is considered as simple diffusion where no energy is required. This means that the liquid will have

Transport of Solute in Solvent through Osmosis or Diffusion Due to Different Concentration Gradients Passing Through a Semi-permeable Membrane between Cell and Cells Environment Bio 101 Objective: The objective is to simulate passive transport: diffusion of solutes and osmosis of water through a semipermeable membrane (dialysis tubing). The experiment will show how molecules in solution move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration in the attempt to reach homeostasis

that are selectively permeable. In other words‚ they allow certain things in and certain substances are not allowed to enter the inside of the cell. Osmosis is the process of water movement across the membranes from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration to reach a sense of equilibrium. Diffusion is what enables osmosis to occur.

Osmosis of Sucrose Solutions of Different Molarities Through Dialysis Tubing (a Semi-Permeable Membrane) I. DESIGN A. PROBLEM/RESEARCH QUESTION 1. How does increasing molarity of sucrose affect osmosis through dialysis tubing? B. VARIABLES 1. The independent variable in this lab is the molarity of sucrose each dialysis bag is filled with. The time (30 minutes)‚ the temperature (23C) and the type of dialysis tubing used are all constants. 2. The dependent

The Osmosis Lab SHS Lacrosse Monster #2 Dates performed: 10/10/11 and 10/11/11 Introduction: The purpose of the laboratory investigation was to observe the diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane. In this lab‚ dialysis tubing was used to represent the semi-permeable cell membrane. Three dialysis tubes were prepared with 5% sucrose solution and were soaked in solutions of different concentrations. The diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane is called osmosis. When
