Osmosis is the tendency of water to flow from a hypotonic solution (low concertration of dissolved substances) to hypertonic solution ( higher concerntration of dissolved substances) across a semipermeable membrane. Osmosis occurs when different concentrations of water are separated by a differentially permeable membrane. One example of a differentially permeable membrane within a living cell is the plasma membrane. • Hypotonic : ➢ Having a lesser osmotic pressure

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

types of conditions that the solutions will experience. These conditions include hypotonic‚ hypertonic‚ and isotonic. Hypotonic describes the movement of the solution going from a high level of concentration to a lower level of concentration. On the other hand‚ a solution is hypertonic when the movement of the solution goes from a low level of concentration to a higher level of concentration. When a solution is isotonic‚ rather than experiencing movement between two solutions of different concentrations

conducted for the topic of osmosis‚ the movement of water from high to low concentration. Five artificial cells were created‚ each being filled with different concentrated solutions of sucrose. These artificial cells were placed in hypertonic‚ hypotonic‚ or isotonic solutions for a period of 90 min. Over time‚ the rate of osmosis was measured by calculating the weight of each artificial cell on given intervals (every 10 minutes). The resulting weights were recorded and the data was graphed. We

final results showed that the more water the potatoes were placed in‚ the more hypotonic the potato becomes. Tonicity is stated to be the state of a solution in respect of osmotic pressure. Types of tonicity used in this lab are osmosis and diffusion. In a way these two solutions are somewhat similar but differ in the way that diffusion refers to the movement of any chemical from one place to another‚

Osmolarity TITTLE: practical of estimation of osmolarity in tissues by bathing samples in hypertonic and hypotonic solutions. INTRODUCTION: Osmolarity is the osmolar concentration of plasma and is proportional to the number of particles per liter of solutions shown as (mmol/l). It is derived from the measures Na+ and K+‚ urea and glucose concentrations. Since the volume of solution changes with the amount of solute added also it change in temperature and pressure‚ osmolarity we can say it’s

The purpose of this lab was to determine the concentration of NaCl or sodium chloride that is isotonic to elodea cells. First off‚ what is osmosis? Osmosis is this huge net of molecules moving through semi-permeable membrane to high concentration to direction where everything becomes balanced. This brings us to what osmolality is. Osmolality is related to osmosis and we know that osmosis has something to do with water so that being said‚ osmolality is number of osmoles of solute per liter in solution
