concentrations. In this lab‚ we will determine the effects of hypertonic‚ isotonic and hypotonic solutions on plant and animal cells. In general when an animals cell’s placed in hypertonic solution it shrivels; a plant cell on the other hand undergoes plasmolysis. When an animal cell’s placed in hypotonic solution‚ it begins to swell and then finally lyse; a plant cell placed in this type of solution however‚ is said to be turgid. In isotonic solution‚ the animal cell stays the same (normal) whereas

only using RBC’s. After observing each slide under the microscope it was determined that unknown solution A was hypertonic because the RBC appeared to have shrunk. The RBC in unknown solution B appeared to be swollen‚ therefor‚ the tonicity of unknown solution B was hypotonic. Unknown solution C showed no change to the RBC shape‚ it was suggested that unknown solution C was isotonic. To confirm the tonicity of unknown solutions A‚ B and C‚ a potato strip was placed in 3 separate tubes containing

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 cell to spread out the cells solutes to eventually reach an equillibrium. Hypotonic comes from the root word

theory of molecules. The diffusion is a form of Brownian movement‚ or we can say The Brownian movement leads to diffusion in three different types‚ where the particles move from high concentration to low concentration area‚ which are hypotonic‚ hypertonic‚ and isotonic. 2- What was the role of the indicators (Lugol’s and Benedict’s solutions) used in the cell model experiment? Explain your answer using results you obtained from the cell model experiment. Lugol’s solution is a solution of elemental iodine and

An isotonic solution has the same osmolarity as a tissue. A hypertonic solution has a higher osmolarity and a hypotonic solution has a lower osmolarity. If samples of a tissue are bathed in hypertonic and hypotonic solutions‚ and measurements are taken to find out whether water enters or leaves the tissue‚ it is possible to deduce what concentration of solution would be isotonic and therefore predict the results of osmosis in different tissues

that allows movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane. Osmosis occurs until it reaches equilibrium‚ or when the concentration on each side is the same. This is called an isotonic solution. A solution with differing concentrations is hypertonic on the side that is higher in concentration‚ and hypotonic on the lower concentration. The purpose of this experiment is to show the effects of osmosis on the de-shelled egg. I hypothesize that the egg will increase in size in the vinegar and

particles outside compared to inside (a hypertonic environment)‚ water will begin to flow from an area of high concentration inside the cell to an area of low concentration outside the cell. The cell will lose water (and mass)‚ start to shrivel up and eventually die. This process is called plamolysis. It is the result of osmosis. On the other hand‚ if the cell is in an environment where there are more dissolved particles inside the cell than outside (a hypotonic environment)‚ water will diffuse into
