putting a piece (or more) of potatoes into glucose or salt solution to see the result of osmosis (a hypertonic type of solution is mostly used as it would give the most prominent visual prove of osmosis‚ as was mentioned in an observation of an experiment). As the potatoes are left in the solution‚ water molecules from the potatoes would move out through the semipermeable membranes to the hypertonic solution surrounding it in an attempt to equalise the amount of glucose/salt within the solution to

is hypotonic to the potato‚ thus water is entering the cell. Meanwhile‚ the cells in the solutions 5% NaCl and 10% NaCl would have shriveled cells. This is because the solution is hypertonic and water is leaving the potato out into the solution.

state‚ they are said to be isotonic. If they differ‚ the solution with a higher concentration of solutes is hypertonic with respect to the other; the solution with lower concentration is hypotonic. Water potential describes the tendency of water moving to another area. Since solutions always tend to reach a state of equilibrium‚ water usually moves from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution in order to dilute the higher concentration. Therefore‚ we say that hypotonic solutions have a lower solute

increasing the concentration of the ECF. Hypothesis This is the hypotheses that you developed before conducting your experiment. It is hypothesised that when sheep’s RBC are added to a hypertonic solution‚ they will shrivel and occupy less space within a haematocrit tube‚ when compared to a hypotonic solution that will cause the cells to lyse. Materials and methods This is the description you gave of the materials and methods you used to test your hypothesis. We started by using a weighing

types of tonicity that one solution can have relative to another. Those are hypertonic‚ hypotonic‚ and isotonic. Hypertonic solutions(more dissolved solute)-the solution with a higher concentration of a solute. Water leaves the cell and the cell shrinks. Hypotonoic solution(less dissolved solute)-the solution with the lower solute concentration. Water molecules enter the cell and the cell becomes larger. Isotonic solution(same amount of dissolved solute)-the solution of equal solute concentration

is a hypertonic solution. A hypertonic solution has a greater concentration of solute than another solution. In this the solvent‚ which is the substance doing the dissolving‚ will move from high to low concentration and both plant and animal cells will shrink due to water loss which is called plasmolysis. Plant and animal cells are both not fond of hypertonic solutions because they don’t want to shrink and have no way of fighting against it. The second type of solution is called a hypotonic solution

Osmosis The purpose of this lab is to study how membranes of plant and animal cells react when exposed to different solutions. The first experiment involves purple onion skin and the second involves rat blood in various solutions. I needed to understand certain terms before preforming this lab to be able to efficiently explain what is happening to the cells. Diffusion is the tendency of a substance to move down its concentration gradient from a more concentrated to a less concentrated area.

when water will diffuse from high water concentration to low water concentration to reach equilibrium. When the solutions are different the lower concentration solute is hypotonic while the higher concentration solute is hypertonic. The hypertonic solution would have a low water potential with a high solute potential. Hypotonic would be the opposite because water potential and solute potential are inversely proportional. Water potential is

flexible and stiff. Core A was the most non-adjustable due to it being hypertonic which means that the total concentration of all the dissolved solute particles is greater than the other solution. Core B was isotonic meaning that it had an equal balance throughout. When two environments are isotonic it means that the total molar concentration of dissolved solutes is the same in both of them (equal). When cells are in an isotonic solution‚ movement of water out of the cell is exactly balanced by movement

entities are small and moving in molecules. They collide because they are moving at a random pace. The temperature causes diffusion. 2. Define the terms hypertonic‚ hypotonic‚ and isotonic solution. * Hypertonic: Having increased pressure or tone‚ in particular. * Hypotonic: Having reduced pressure or tone‚ in particular. * Isotonic solution: a solution having the same osmotic pressure 3.
