experiment 1 was to demonstrate the principle of simple diffusion and understand how to make % solutions. Exercise 2 demonstrated the principle of osmosis: observing the movement of water by osmosis from an area of lower concentration of a solute to an area of higher concentration of a solute. Materials and Method: Refer to pages 47-51 of Bio 203L Lab Manual. Results/ Discussion: The effect of the chloride ion on its rate of diffusion in agar means it will diffuse faster because it is more

Lab Report INTRODUCTION: This experiment is being done to find out what happens to a carrot or a potato if you place them in two different solutions. Osmosis has a lot to do with this experiment and is the movement of water molecules from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Osmosis only deals with water and is a type of diffusion. The difference between all three solutions is that in a hypertonic solution the cells fluid rushes out of the cell and causes it to shrivel. In a hypotonic

Egg Osmosis Lab The purpose of this lab was to demonstrate an example of a spontaneous reaction and its connection to metabolism; in this case it was osmosis. The procedures that we used to complete the experiment were taking five eggs that had been soaked in a sucrose solution and then placing each one in containers of sucrose that each had different levels of concentration. The mass of each egg was measured before being placed into the solutions and then every 10 minutes after until they had soaked

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

Lab Topic: Movement of Materials Across the Cell Membrane—Potato Tuber Cells Introduction: Osmosis is a form of diffusion in which water diffuses through a selectively permeable membrane from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration. This form of diffusion takes place when the molecules in high concentration are too large to move through the membrane. Three factors that determine cell membrane permeability are shape‚ size‚ and polarity. For this experiment‚ it must

Introduction A computerized simulation experiment will be conducted in order to study the cell transport mechanism via the cell’s selectively permeable membrane and passive processes of simple and facilitated diffusion. The plasma membrane is a gateway which allows nutrients to enter the cell and keep undesirable substances out‚ hence‚ making it selectively permeable. One method of transport is called active transport‚ which uses ATP to transport substances through the membrane. The other is

Diffusion and Osmosis Shown In Solutions Section 1: Abstract This lab‚ title Diffusion and Osmosis‚ was centered around the diffusion across a cellular membrane and how exactly materials move and diffuse in concentrations. Both diffusion and osmosis are forms of movement that are part of passive transport dealing with cell membranes. Diffusion is where the solutes move from an area of high concentration to a low concentration. Water goes through the cell membranes by diffusion. Osmosis is specifically

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

Lab One – Diffusion and Osmosis SECTION ONE: Methods Lab 1 – Diffusion and Osmosis can be broken down into four parts (A‚ B‚ C‚ and D). Lab 1A – Diffusion In this exercise‚ we tested diffusion through dialysis tubing. This was done through a demo with the teacher‚ rather than individually in groups. First‚ a piece of 2.5cm dialysis tubing was obtained. Then one end was folded and clipped securely so that a solution poured into the bag would not leak out. Next‚ the other side of the bag was

Title: Egg Osmosis Purpose: The purpose for doing this lab is to show how Osmosis takes place. It is supposed to show how the eggs would react to a change in their environment. The way to show how it would change would be putting eggs in different controlled environments. Each of the eggs will be put in three different environments. Vinegar‚ Karo Syrup‚ and water. Each egg will have to have a documented reaction that each will have. Introduction: The lab will allow us to see and explain each
