he mass and length 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

Introduction Over the course of several weeks‚ myself and my fellow classmates have been researching and conducting an experiment that focuses on the effect of ascorbate peroxidase (a.p) as well as salt stress at different levels of concentrations on Abelmoschus esculentus (okra). Okra is a plant that is composed of 87.1% of water. In addition to being made mostly of water this highly nutritious vegetable is also composed of 0.2% of fat‚ 9.7% of carbohydrate‚ 2.2 % protein‚ 1.0 % fiber‚ and 0

Experiment to investigate the effect of concentration of electrolyte on the current of voltaic cell Aim The aim is to identify the relationship between the concentration of H2SO4 solution and the current of Cu-Zn voltaic cell. Hypothesis My hypothesis is that the greater the concentration of sulfuric acid the bigger the current of the voltaic cell. In a voltaic cell‚ chemical energy is concerted to electrical though the oxidation and reduction happen on the electrodes. Current will not flow

INTRODUCTION Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from high concentration to low concentration through semipermeable membranes‚ caused by the difference in concentrations on the two sides of a membrane (Rbowen‚ L.). It occurs in both animals and plants cells. In human bodies‚ the process of osmosis is primarily found in the kidneys‚ in the glomerulus. In plants‚ osmosis is carried out everywhere within the cells of the plant (World Book‚ 1997). This can be shown by an experiment with potato

Part A: Diffusion on a liquid in a liquid. I did an experiment with three different glasses of tap water from the faucet. All three cups measured the same which happened to be 13 cm from the top of the cup to the bottom of the cup. I let the water settle‚ and sit for about an hour so the temperature was the same for all three cups. I then placed one drop of food coloring into the first glass and waited for the coloring to reach the bottom. I calculated 93 seconds. I then went to the second glass
Premium Osmosis Water Diffusion
Diffusion is a natural act that takes place in the human body in order to utilize and absorb important concentrations into the body. In order to understand how diffusion works‚ it is important to understand how temperature plays a role. In connection with diffusion‚ a certain temperature must be obtained to begin the process. Introduction Diffusion is very important in the body for the movement of substances. An example would be the movement of oxygen from the air into the blood and carbon dioxide

EXPERIMENT TO SHOW THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT CONCENTRATION OF GLUCOSE ON POTATO STRIPS INTRODUCTION: Molecules of liquid and gas are constantly in motion‚ they move randomly in all directions and bounce around in all directions and bounce around and into each other. As they move‚ they tend to spread out moving from areas with many molecules to areas with fewer molecules . This process of spreading out is called Diffusion‚ for example smell of cooking travelling around the house from the kitchen

Osmosis and diffusion are sometimes mixed up without much thought‚ but they are very different in many ways. Osmosis is a defined as the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane (). The membrane is fully permeable for the small water molecules‚ but is selectively permeable to any substance that is lager that a normal water molecule. One example might be a glucose and water mixture‚ when the solute is put into one side of a U-shaped tube that has a semipermeable membrane between the solvent

Strategy A Possible Factors * Source of catalase * Concentration * Surface Area of enzyme * Concentration of enzyme * pH * Temperature Chosen Factor We chose to investigate the concentration of enzyme as we had previously investigated the optimum temperature for catalase in the preliminary investigation. Concentration of enzyme is also fairly easy to investigate‚ as

of osmosis and diffusion‚ as well as the effect of molecular size of the particles on this rate. Part I of the lab was a demonstration of osmosis and diffusion‚ that dealt with raisins in different liquid environments‚ each with a different concentration of sugar. Part IV of the lab was using the same idea as the demonstration‚ by putting objects in different concentrations of a substance; in this case elodea leaves in salt water. In both cases‚ the objects in a greater concentration of the substance
