Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a partially permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration‚ in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides. It may also be used to describe a physical process in which any solvent moves‚ without input of energy‚ across a semipermeable membrane separating two solutions of different concentrations. Although osmosis does not require input of energy‚ it does use kinetic energy and

Investigation: A factor that affects the movement of water in and out of cells. Osmosis: movement of water from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential through a partially permeable membrane. High water potential = lots of free water molecules‚ low solute concentration Low water potential = very few free water molecules‚ high solute concentration Factors That Affect the Movement of Water in and out of Cells * Solute concentration * If one solution

most accurate results. My prediction is half correct. In some cases it is correct because the concentration is higher and the mass of the potato is lower‚ but in other cases the mass of the potato gets higher‚ which I did not predict. For example‚ on the 1st experiment at 2 and 4 concentrations the mass of the potato goes up and the same happens on the 2nd experiment at the 6% concentration.

Osmosis Aim: To determine the concentration of cell sap in a potato cell. Osmosis is the movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane. It starts from a weak solution and becomes a more stronger solution until the concentrations on both sides are equal. To investigate the range of solutions needed to find the point at which the surrounding solution is the same as the cell sap in the vacuole.

OSMOSIS ASSESSMENT TASK Introduction Osmosis is the net movement of water particles from an area where they are in high concentration to an area of low concentration‚ down a concentration gradient. Hypothesis: Will a high concentration of salt solution affect the mass of a potato chip? Variables Controlled variables: -The sizes of the potato chips. Bigger size of potato chips will weigh heavier and the smaller potato chips will weigh lighter‚ if we don’t use the same size of potato chips

History of diffusion in physics In technology‚ diffusion in solids was used long before the theory of diffusion was created. For example‚ the cementation process that produces steel from the iron includes carbon diffusion and was described already by Pliny the Elder‚ the diffusion of colours of stained glasses or earthenwares and Chinas was well known for

supposed to hold up the structure of the cell keeping all organisms in alignment. Osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules through a partially permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration‚ in order to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides. We didn ’t know anything about osmosis except that it was a word in the dictionary that we never picked up. Osmosis and diffusion are similar because osmosis is the result of diffusion across a semi-permeable membrane. If two solutions

This investigation tested the hypothesis: The rate of osmosis will increase as the temperature increases 2x2x2cm cubes of potato were weighed and then placed into 100mL of 10% NaCl solutions for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes the cubes were again weighed to determine the amount of mass that they lost/gained and thus get an indication of the rate of osmosis. The results collected showed that the rate of osmosis was highest in the 70°C solution and lowest in the 20°C solution. From
