Introduction In Diffusion‚ Dialysis & Osmosis lab‚ we discovered that we were going to observe and understand the conditions under which diffusion‚ dialysis‚ and osmosis occur. Then we constructed models of diffusion‚ dialysis‚ and osmosis. We predicted that the direction of change would be from the membrane to the beaker. We understood how these processes affected the selectivity of the cell membrane. The second part of the lab was dealing with dialysis. In this part we studied starch and sodium

water at different temperatures. Using a colorimeter I will measure the anthocyanin that will diffuse into the distilled water‚ the higher the reading of the colorimeter the more anthocyanin leaked out by the beetroot hence a higher the rate of diffusion. Equipment Reasons for use… Colorimeter The colorimeter will measure the amount of light absorbed by the pigment in beetroot. The higher concentration of anthocyanin equals a higher reading on the colorimeter. A colorimeter will give an accurate

The Technology-Diffusion Model illustrates how a social institution reacts to a new technology as follows: • “Innovative technology is created • Institution adopts technology to carry out existing functions more efficiently • Institution accommodates internally to take better advantage of new efficiencies • Institution develops new functions and activities made possible by capabilities of the technology • Institution may become obsolete‚ be replaced‚ or be radically transformed • Other institutions

Experiment: At this experiment we are investigating does the temperature affect how quickly the particles diffuse to an even concentration throughout the water‚ we are going to do this experiment by using food coloring to see how quick the food coloring diffuse in hot water and cold water. Materials: • • • • • • • • One beaker Hot plate Ice Water Food coloring Thermometer Timer Eye dropper Hypothesis:I think the food coloring will spread faster‚ because the particle in the hot water have more
