IB HL BIOLOGY Dialysis Lab: Exploring Osmosis and Diffusion Through A Membrane Introduction: Dialysis is the flow of certain solutes through a semi permeable membrane. Dialysis is usually used on patients with failing kidneys to clinically purify blood in their kidneys‚ or other regions of their bodies. The dialysate contains waste matter that flows from the blood our of the dialysis tubing. Question/aim of lab: To test the solutions inside and outside the dialysis tubing with Benedict’s

Bonnie Bell Mrs. Legary Biology P.6 21‚ Sept. 2011 Milk Lab Final This investigation consists of testing the reaction between milk‚ food coloring‚ and dishwashing soap. Different kinds of milk were tested‚ depending on the amount of milk fat content. The investigation was based on 2 questions. Lab one’s problem statement‚ using only milk fat and food coloring was: How does food coloring react in different kinds of milk fat? The second lab’s problem statement‚ using milk fat‚ food

Potato Osmosis Introduction: A shipwrecked sailor is stranded on a small desert island with no fresh water to drink. They know they could last without food for up to a month‚ but if they didn’t have water to drink they will be dead within a week. Hoping to postpone the inevitable‚ their thirst drives them to drink the salty seawater. They are dead in two days. Why do you think drinking seawater killed the sailor faster than not drinking any water at all? Today we explore the cause of the sailor’s

Diffusion and Osmosis Experiment with a Shell-Less Egg After Three days of Testing Methods with Water and Corn Syrup Lisa July 1‚ 2013 Purpose To use the properties of diffusion and osmosis to see the effects of either corn syrup or water on a shell-less raw egg over a three day period. While looking to see the effects of these liquids on the raw egg‚ one can also apply the properties of hypotonic‚ hypertonic‚ and isotonic solutions. Introduction Cells have an outer covering called the cell membrane

Effect of Osmosis on Egg Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to test the effects of hypertonic‚ isotonic‚ and hypotonic environments on the weight of a shell-less egg. We tested the weight of the egg after thirty minutes in water as well as corn syrup. I hypothesized that when the egg was placed in water‚ it would swell and gain weight because it was in a hypotonic environment. That hypothesis was correct as the egg grew slightly and the weight when up. I also hypothesised that when the egg

follows; 6H₂O + 6CO₂ C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂1 There are four variables that affect the rate of photosynthesis; light intensity‚ temperature‚ CO₂ and water.2 However‚ is it possible to count in the colour of light‚ too‚ which I am going to investigate in this lab. Since the photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts that has chlorophyll‚ the rate of photosynthesis can be affected by different colours of light‚ since the absorption of light changes within different colours. Research Question: What colour of
