Introduction From previous experiments we ’ve learned that salt is extracted from green beans. To be more specific: salt is extracted from when the beans are cooked in water in which salt has been dissolved. This experiment is based upon the osmoses theory. According to this theory the cell walls of the green beans are what we call a semi permeable membrane. This membrane only lets water through and not the substance that is dissolved into the water‚ as in this case is NaCl. Because the concentration

concentration therefore may indicate proteinuria. Blood glucose concentration above the renal threshold will overflow into the urine. This situation normally arises in diabetes patients. In renal diabetes‚ the renal threshold is reduced to the point where sugar appears in the urine

is used when a cell needs a substance to cross the membrane against its concentration gradient using protein carriers. Examples of active transport are endocytosis‚ exocytosis‚ and phagocytosis. Passive transport does not require energy it is powered by the concentration gradient of the molecule. Examples of passive transport are diffusion‚ facilitated diffusion‚ filtration‚ and osmosis. In our Osmosis Lab I used a Grade a large egg from the grocery store. Its circumference is 5 ½ inches it is smooth

Abstract: Osmosis is the transport of water across a selectively permeable membrane from a region of a higher water chemical potential to a region of lower water chemical potential. (Tzahi 2006) To demonstrate osmosis lab‚ artificial cells were made with various sucrose concentrations and were placed into beakers of different sucrose solutions. Overall the results showed that the higher percentage of concentration gradient of sucrose‚ the more the artificial cells absorbed. Introduction: The

Diffusion‚ Osmosis and Active Transport Substances will move through the membrane by diffusion. This is the random spreading out of particles until they are even. For example‚ when you put your instant coffee in boiling water‚ the coffee particles spread out and fill the entire mug‚ this is diffusion. A second way that substances can move through the cell membrane is by osmosis. This is a special type of diffusion where water moves from a high to a low concentration through a ’partially permeable

Formal Scientific Lab Report Osmosis Katy Hunter 10-26-2012 Abstract: The objectives of this lab was to be able to create models of cells with the dialysis tubing to show us how the plasma membrane is selectively permeable‚ to study the effects of osmosis on a model cell‚ and to foresee the effect of solute concentration on osmosis. In order to achieve these objectives‚ we had to fill the dialysis tubing with either water‚ or different amounts of sucrose. We then tied off the tubes and put

water will move from the solution into the cell and cause the cell to burst (1). A cell in an isotonic solution neither swells nor shrinks because there is no concentration gradient for water across the cell membrane (1) The objective of this experiment is to find out the effect distilled water‚ 3% sodium chloride solution and 5% sodium chloride solution have on onion epidermal cells. From the above literature‚ its hypothesised that the cells in distilled water should maintain their shape‚ cells

This fermentation rate was calculated with water displacement using pipettes to discover the span of time before the release of air bubbles known as Carbon Dioxide. Sucrose had the highest fermentation rate in comparison to all of the other sugars that were tested. The results confirm the capability of cells when it

lab is to measure urinary glucose (a known and unknown sample) using two quantitative tests: colorimetric strip test and o-toluidine test. Urinary glucose is the main focus for this lab due to its involvement with diabetes‚ a disease defined by the abnormal regulation of insulin. The most effective method for monitoring glucose is through blood glucose compared to urinary glucose. It has been discovered that urinary glucose is not a good measure of changes in blood glucose because: (1) the bladder

Experiment 2: IDENTIFICATION OF UNKNOWNS BY TLC AND MP IN COMBINATION Introduction: Thin layer chromatography (TLC) is one of the most valuable techniques in organic chemistry. This is a best method of separating and identifying mixtures of two or more compounds. The separation is accomplished by the distribution of the mixture between two phases: one that is stationary and one that is moving or mobile. Chromatography works on the principle that different compounds will have different
