The cells in the solutions of distilled water‚ 0.4% NaCl‚ and 0.9% NaCl would all appear to be inflated and could burst. This is due to the fact that the solution is hypotonic to the potato‚ thus water is entering the cell. Meanwhile‚ the cells in the solutions

Osmosis and Scientific Method Lab Report Abstract The purpose of the lab is to see how different size potatoes have faster water movement depending on the concentration of sucrose it was placed in. We had two sized potatoes‚ 6g and 10g‚ and placed each in three different dilutions of sucrose at 0.5M‚ 0.1M‚ and 0.05M. We also placed a 6g and 10g potato piece in water to act as a control. Based on the weight percent change over 60 minutes‚ the 6g potato piece had faster water movement than the

Lab # 2 Diffusion & Osmosis Introduction Kinetic energy‚ a root of energy stored in cells‚ causes molecules to hit into each other and move in new directions. Diffusion is the result of this contact. Diffusion is the random movement of molecules to an area of lower concentration from an area of higher concentration. Osmosis is a type of diffusion. This is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water

Brownian motion This is‚ presumably the random drifting of particles suspended in a fluid (a liquid or a gas) .This movement was discovered and later named after botanist Robert Brown (1773-1858). He was a Scottish botanist and palaeobotanist who made important contributions (including Brownian motion) to botany largely through his pioneering use of the microscope. The scientist who made Brownian motion famous is Albert Einstein‚ who brought the phenomenon to the attention of the larger physics community

surroundings‚ it tries to make concentration of solution inside and outside itself equal. However‚ the solutes are too big to pass the cell membranes without the help of channel proteins‚ or transport proteins. Water may freely pass through the membrane by osmosis‚ which requires no energy. Thus‚ the cell starts to take in‚ or release‚ water until it is isotionic to its

Investigation of Factors Affect Osmosis in Potatoes Aim The aim of the following experiment was to investigate the effect of varying the concentration of sucrose solution on osmosis in a potato. Preliminary Experiments One preliminary experiment was done before the main experiment. From the preliminary‚ we were trying to find out how osmosis actually occurred in potatoes‚ and gave us a vague idea on what the main experiment would be like. This preliminary will aid my prediction

of different concentrations of saline solution on Red Blood Cells. When a Red Blood Cell is submersed in a high concentration of saline solution it will create a hypertonic environment and therefore cause the cell to rupture due to the process of osmosis. The methods used to collect data were observation and note taking. Overall the results proved the hypothesis correct with major findings being a higher concentration of salt causing a hypotonic environment and a low concentration. Recommendations

Shell - less egg is placed into a beaker of corn syrup‚ will there be any water going into or out of the egg and if the shell - less egg is placed in a beaker of distilled water will be any net flow of water going into or out of the egg. Hypothesis: If a shell - less egg is placed into a beaker of corn syrup solution‚ then there will be a net flow of water going into the egg because the water molecules will be small enough to pass through the membrane of the egg. If a shell - less egg is placed

the growth of germinating seeds and hatching of brine shrimps eggs. Introduction: Growth is the process by which a plant increases in the number and size of leaves and stems. The growth of both plants and animals requires energy. Animals get their energy by digesting the plants they eat. Plants get their energy from the sun through photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process where the green pigment in the plant’s

Joanna Packham ENG 111 Reverse Osmosis in Our Life My husband and I installed a reverse osmosis drinking water system in our home. I have traveled a lot recently and met lots of people including engineers on the yachts that thought me a lot abut reverse osmosis systems. They explained to me that RO are declining in popularity because they remove the minerals as well the impurities from the water. Long-term consumption of filtered water had negative health effects. I was asking myself is RO water
