Activity 1: Simple diffusion Introduction: Simple diffusion is the net movement of substances from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration so its overall net movement is along the concentration gradient‚ simple diffusion does not require energy therefore it is ’passive’‚ substances are diffused across the membrane between the phospholipids. Materials and methods: * 20 mwco dialysis membrane * 50 mwco dialysis membrane * 100 mwco dialysis membrane * 200 mwco

Diffusion is a natural act that takes place in the human body in order to utilize and absorb important concentrations into the body. In order to understand how diffusion works‚ it is important to understand how temperature plays a role. In connection with diffusion‚ a certain temperature must be obtained to begin the process. Introduction Diffusion is very important in the body for the movement of substances. An example would be the movement of oxygen from the air into the blood and carbon dioxide

Diffusion and Osmosis of Solutes and Water Across a Membrane Brittany Bacallao Nova Southeastern University Abstract: This experiment gave a visual understanding of osmosis and diffusion. The first experiment proved that solutes would move down a concentration gradient if permeable to the selective membrane. The second experiment proved different solute concentrations affect the movement of water‚ depending on the solute concentration inside the cell. The purpose of this lab was to look for

the concentration in the potato cubes‚ the percentage of weight change in potato cubes will be higher (positive). If the concentration of the salt solution is the same as the concentration in the cell‚ there will be no net movement of water through osmosis therefore there will be no percentage of weight change in potato cubes 2) The osmolarity of salt within the potato cubes lie between 0.8% and 1.0%. Thus saying‚ solutions of salt ranging from 0.0%(distilled water) to 0.8% will be hypotonic while the

Lab 5: Osmosis Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to familiarize you with osmosis and‚ specifically‚ what happens to cells when they are exposed to solutions of differing tonicities. Hypothesis: If we add higher concentrations of sugar to the dialysis tubing‚ then the net movement of coffee into the dialysis tubing will increase. Materials scale or balance 24" dialysis tubing 4 transfer pipets sugar scissors rubber bands four coffee cups - they need to be roughly the same size

Potato Osmosis and Diffusion Lab Report Emily Cocq Research Question: Will there be a difference in the experimented potato cores after being subjected to high concentrations of sugar? Introduction: Water can move through protein channels in cell membrane/cell walls. The water will move due to the water potential of the cells. If there is a greater concentration of solutes (chemicals) inside the cell than outside the cell and the chemicals can not move‚ then water will respond by moving

Lab Report Diffusion is - One of two kinds of passive transport‚ - Diffusion can transport ions from higher concentration to lower concentration region without any other forces. - A net movement of molecules in and out of cell membrane - Diffusion can be affected by the steepness of the concentration gradient. Lab question: Is the rate of diffusion influenced by the presence of second molecule? Prediction: the rate of diffusion is influenced by the presence of second molecule

9/17/2013‚ Lois Andersen & Claire Ma “The Power of Osmosis” The purpose of the lab was to discover‚ through osmosis‚ the concentration of sugar water in a potato. First‚ potatoes were cut into strips about 3 centimetres in length and six strips were individually massed. Next‚ the six strips were placed in 6 different Dixie cups‚ labelled A‚ B‚ Q‚ X‚ Y‚ and Z. Each of the Dixie cups were then filled just enough to cover the potato strips‚ with substances that matched the letters of the cups

1.0 Introduction 1.1 Aim and Assumptions: The aim of this experiment is to observe the rate of diffusion of diethyl ether vapour into stagnant air‚ and then determine the diffusivity. An error analysis of this calculation also had to be carried out. The following assumptions made were: * Diethyl Ether is an ideal gas * Partial pressure at the top of the tube was equal to zero * Mass transfer resistance between the liquid surface at the bottom of the tube is insufficient‚ compared with the
