Osmosis and Scientific Method Lab Report Abstract The purpose of the lab is to see how different size potatoes have faster water movement depending on the concentration of sucrose it was placed in. We had two sized potatoes‚ 6g and 10g‚ and placed each in three different dilutions of sucrose at 0.5M‚ 0.1M‚ and 0.05M. We also placed a 6g and 10g potato piece in water to act as a control. Based on the weight percent change over 60 minutes‚ the 6g potato piece had faster water movement than the

Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules from an area of high concentration of sucrose solution to an area of lower concentration of sucrose solution‚ through a selectively permeable membrane. The water molecules move down a concentration gradient in osmosis. Two diagrams of osmosis are shown in figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 shows the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of highly concentrated sucrose solution to an area of lower concentrated sucrose solution

Osmosis Lab Conclusion The purpose of this lab is to determine whether salt affects the movement of water in the cell. Independent variable is the factor that affects the value of variables dependent to it. In osmosis lab‚ the independent variables are the potato and onions. The dependent variable is the variable whose value is measured to determine the extent of the effect of another variable to it‚ as in an experiment. In osmosis lab‚ the dependent variable is the length of the potato. The controlled

Osmosis Lab: The Incredible Egg How does the solution a cell is in effect the movement of substances into and out of the cell? Eggs were soaked in vinegar for twenty-four hours before the lab to dissolve the shell‚ then placed them into the distilled water. Then the eggs were taken out and dried by the paper towel to measure their weight on the electronic scale. First egg weighted 78.92g‚ most of the parts of it’s skin was white translucent‚ and was spongy. After the egg was submerged into the

AP Bio Lab Report Osmosis and Diffusion Introduction When a substance is released into an area‚ the random movement of its molecules results in a multitude of collisions. These collisions‚ in turn‚ lead to a dispersion of the molecules. The overall movement of the molecules will be from an area of high concentration‚ where there will be more collisions‚ to areas of low concentration‚ where the number of collisions will be much less. This process of dispersion will continue until there is no

Hypothesis - If the glucose and starch solution stays within the beaker of water for a longer period of time‚ then more water will travel through the selectively permeable membrane due to the effects of diffusion on the solution. If the level of sucrose within the solution increases‚ then the effects of osmosis will cause the change in mass to also increase due to higher concentrations of sucrose and the increased net movement of the water molecules within the solution. Analysis - When the glucose and

Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to demonstrate osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane (Bell et al 2004). Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration (Brown 1999). Hypertonic is the solution with a higher salt concentration. Hypotonic solution is the solution with the lower salt concentration. My hypothesis is that the potato core will increase in size. When the solution is

Caution: the glass vial will become very hot during the chemical reaction. 4. After the reaction has stopped‚ wait 15 seconds. Shake gently to mix the contents. Caution: do not allow the contents of the vial to come into contact with your skin or eyes. Compare the color to the Clinitest® color chart. 5. Record the results of

Biology Lab #1: Chemical Diffusion Purpose To discover how the size of a cell affects the diffusion of chemicals throughout the cell. Hypothesis I predict that as the cell size increases the diffusion depth and the diffusion rate will decrease. Equipment • Eye protection • 250 mL beaker • Timing device • Scoopula • Ruler • Scalpel • Sodium hydroxide solution • 3 different sized cubes of phenolphthalein agar • Paper towels Purpose

The cells in the solutions of distilled water‚ 0.4% NaCl‚ and 0.9% NaCl would all appear to be inflated and could burst. This is due to the fact that the solution is hypotonic to the potato‚ thus water is entering the cell. Meanwhile‚ the cells in the solutions
