osmolarity in a real time situation. In this investigation‚ several concentrations of sucrose were used to determine the osmolarity of a potato. It was found that the concentration of sucrose was close to 3.6 in the potato used showing that it was isotonic. Anything above caused the potato to gain weight showing that it was a hypotonic solution and anything below caused the potato to lose weight showing that it is a hypertonic solution. Teachers can use this experiment to help teach students the concept

b.) The mass decreased or increased in each cylinder‚ depending on if the solution was hypotonic‚ hypertonic or isotonic. In Cylinder (A) the mass decreased‚ so liquid was released from the potato‚ because the cells in the potato would have burst if even more was absorbed‚ whereas the length stayed the same. In Cylinder (B) the mass and length increased‚ which means the potato cells absorbed some Sodium Chloride (NaCl)‚ so the cells don’t shrivel up and die. For Cylinder 3 the mass and length also

When regarding cells osmosis has three different terms that are used to describe their concentration. The first of these words is isotonic. Cells in an isotonic solution show that the water has no net movement and the amount of water that goes in is the same that goes out. Isotonic comes from the root iso‚ which means equal. This makes sense because the definition of isotonic is: same concentration. The second out of three words is hypotonic. Cells in a hypotonic solution make the water move into the

systematic strength exercises. There are three main types of exercises designed to build strength as follows:- a) Active Exercises - This is where there is a voluntary effort by an individual to construct the muscles. Active exercises may be isotonic or isometric. With the former‚ the muscle fibres shorten and cause movement at a joint‚ thus enabling a part of the body to be moved. In isometric exercises‚ the movement does not occur because the muscle tension is increased but the fibres don’t

Several researchers published an empirical article called the “Comparison of the Effects of Hydration with Water or Isotonic Solution on the Recovery of Cardiac Autonomic Modulation”. The purpose of this study was to determine the importance of hydrating after strenuous activity. The ideal time that someone hydrates by drinking water‚ Gatorade‚ or any other sport drink is unclear. The researchers do know‚ however‚ that hydration helps with tolerance to strenuous activity because it helps regulate

Hypo tonic means there is a LOWER concentration of solute molecules OUTSIDE the cell than inside. Isotonic means there is the SAME concentration of solute molecules outside
