pressure required to maintain an equilibrium‚ with no nett movement of solvent. Osmotic pressure is a colligative property‚ meaning that the osmotic pressure depends on the molar concentration of the solute but not on its identity. Osmosis‚ unlike diffusion‚ requires a force to work. This force is supplied by the solute’s interaction with the membrane. Solute particles move randomly due to Brownian

Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. Your answer: Increasing the number of membrane carriers and the concentration. 2. Why do you think the urea was not able to diffuse through the 20 MWCO membrane? How well did the results compare with your prediction? Your answer: Because Urea was

BIOLOGY – TRANSPORT ACROSS MEMBRANE define diffusion and describe its role in nutrient uptake and gaseous exchange in plants and humans define osmosis and describe the effects of osmosis on plant and animal tissues define active transport and discuss its importance as an energy-consuming process by which substances are transported against a concentration gradient‚ as in ion uptake by root hairs and uptake of glucose by cells in the villi . A cell is surrounded by a layer of cell surface membrane

experiments were conducted. These tests were done over simple diffusion‚ facilitated diffusion‚ osmosis‚ filtration‚ and active transport by changing and observing different variables and how they affect transport through the membrane. Obtained was the understanding of the changing of the molecular weight cut off in a membrane‚ and how it does not play a part directly in changing the rate of diffusion‚ but instead determined if diffusion was accomplishable at all. Knowledge on the size of molecules

aiming to witness osmosis in 5 different concentrations of sucrose. I will use 5 varying concentrations so that I have a wider spread to compare the results‚ and check that I don’t have any anomalies Prediction Osmosis is the process of diffusion of water molecules from a weaker solution into a stronger solution‚ through a semi permeable membrane. The tiny pores in the membrane of the potatoes will allow the water molecules to go in and out of the potato cell‚ depending on the concentration

higher the concentration of water in the potato the quicker osmosis will happen because less water will have to diffuse into the potato to even the amounts of water inside and outside the potato. So Osmosis is basically a special kind of diffusion involving water molecules‚ which occurs when two solutions are separated by a partially permeable membrane. The water diffuses from the weaker solution to the stronger solution. Tiny holes in the membrane allow small water molecules to pass
Premium Concentration Osmosis Chemistry
The purpose of the lab was to investigate osmosis‚ which was successfully achieved because there was a change in the potato’s mass which was due to the net movement of water either into the potato cells or out of the potato cells. In the 0.400M solution‚ the potato decreased in mass‚ this was due to the reason that the solution was hypertonic. There was a higher concentration of solute and lower concentration of water in the solution than there was in the potato cells. This led the water to travel
