THE EFFECT OF THE WATER CONCENTRATION GRADIENT ON THE RATE OF OSMOSIS Investigation Folio: Summative Stage 1 Biology: SEMESTER 1 2014 MARCIA SHAW - 151003X INTRODUCTION Diffusion: is when something spreads more widely from a higher concentration gradient to a lower concentration gradient. Diffusion is the process from which molecules‚ atoms or ions mingle together and move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration as a result to their kinetic energy. for example

Throughout this lab‚ diffusion and osmosis has been seen and tested through experiment. In part A of the lab‚ diffusion was demonstrated with two solids and an agar gel petri dish. One crystal of potassium permanganate and one crystal of methylene blue were placed on either side of an agar gel petri dish. The purpose of this experiment was to determine which of the crystals would diffuse across the gel more. So the question is‚ which solid would have a higher rate of diffusion through the agar‚ methylene

ent chemicals are added to each other. Procedure This experiment involved placing drops of specified chemicals into a well on a 96well plate. Each well number was recorded along with question number and name of chemicals involved. Two drops of a chemical were placed in a well along with two drops of another chemical. Chemical reactions and color changes were recorded in Data Table 1. Observations During the experiments a few problems were encountered. One of the chemicals provided differed

DIFFUSION REVIEW WORKSHEET 1. Define diffusion and what causes it to occur? The action of spreading the light from a light source evenly so as to reduce glare and harsh shadows. Diffusion is caused when entities are small and moving in molecules. They collide because they are moving at a random pace. The temperature causes diffusion. 2. Define the terms hypertonic‚ hypotonic‚ and isotonic solution. * Hypertonic: Having increased pressure or tone‚ in particular. * Hypotonic:

Factors Affecting Diffusion How does temperature affect diffusion? What is Diffusion? Definition 1: Diffusion is a process where by molecules move from an area of high concentration area to an area of low concentration. Definition 2: Diffusion is an evidence for moving particles. The spreading out of a gas is called diffusion and it takes place in haphazard and random way. Gases diffuse because the particles collide with other particles and bounce of in all directions. For example when

he mass and length of the potato piece must be kept the same in each experiment primarily because they affect the surface area of the piece‚ and varying surface area could have a great effect on the rate of osmosis. This is because in an experiment where the potato chip has a large surface area‚ there is a larger area of partially permeable membrane and therefore more opportunity for water particles to pass through. I will keep the surface area the same by keeping the mass and length

Thomas Graham studied the behavior of the diffusion of gases of unequal densities when placed in contact with each other‚ using air as his control. He wanted to numerically prove how the diffusion of the gas volumes was inversely proportional to the value of the density of the gas‚ under constant temperature and pressure. The significance of this experiment was that in led to a reevaluation of the concept of the movement of matter‚ realizing that diffusion dealt with small immeasurable elements of

Diffusion in Cells Isabel Zak Question: How does the size of a cell affect the distribution of chemicals throughout the cell? Hypothesis: The larger the cell is‚ the more difficult it will be for the chemicals to reach the centre of the cell‚ and diffuse throughout it. This is because there will be a higher surface-area to volume ratio in the larger cells‚ making the centre of the cells further away from the surface. Therefore‚ when dipped in sodium hydroxide‚ the larger cells will not

Lab Report DIFFUSION AND THE EFFECT OF AMYLASE. Aim: We will interpret and explain the activity of an enzyme added to a solution. We will analyze reactions in different pH ranges. The starch solution will appear blue when mixed with iodine. But after mixing the enzyme amylase to the starch‚ the starches are broken down into simple sugars. Now‚ when the iodine is added‚ no color change exist. Instruments and materials used: 1.) Dialysis bags x2 2.)
