OSMOSIS LAB BACKGROUND INFORMATION. Dialysis tubing is being used to model a plasma membrane. Isotonic solutions are solutions that have the same concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane. Hypertonic solutions are solutions that have more solute to the one with less solute. Hypotonic solution are solutions that have less solute to the one with more solute. RESEARCH QUESTION:which dialysis tubing will gain the distilled water and which one will loss its content

diffusion gradient forming a hypertonic or hypotonic solution. Solvent with equal or no solute forms an isotonic solution. Materials: Distilled water‚ sucrose‚ dialysis tubing‚ string‚ 250 ml beaker. Procedure: To demonstrate and isotonic solution we needed 3 inches of dialysis tubing. We tied off one end of the dialysis tubing to create a bag‚ filled it with distilled water‚ and tie of other end to close. The bag is carefully blotted to remove any water spilled during the filling and then

Introduction: In this lab i used glucose and starch to show if the cell membrane is permeable‚ impermeable‚ or selectively permeable to these substances. Dialysis tubing is a plastic like substance that has small pores in it. These pores allow certain chemicals to flow into and out of the cells. The size of the molecule determines what goes through the tubing. On of the materials that we will be using is glucose. glucose is a simple sugar that easily dissolves in water. To test for the presence of

Transport of Solute in Solvent through Osmosis or Diffusion Due to Different Concentration Gradients Passing Through a Semi-permeable Membrane between Cell and Cells Environment Bio 101 Objective: The objective is to simulate passive transport: diffusion of solutes and osmosis of water through a semipermeable membrane (dialysis tubing). The experiment will show how molecules in solution move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration in the attempt to reach homeostasis

Partners Biology 110 March 23‚ 2011 Code of Academic Integrity INTRODUCTION: During the process of osmosis‚ water will move across a differentially permeable membrane. The water will transfer from a region of lesser solute concentration to a region of greater solute concentration. While water is able to pass through the membrane‚ other substances are blocked (Hershey et. al. 2010). There are three types of conditions that the solutions will experience. These conditions include hypotonic

Introduction: The purpose of the laboratory investigation was to observe the diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane. In this lab‚ dialysis tubing was used to represent the semi-permeable cell membrane. Three dialysis tubes were prepared with 5% sucrose solution and were soaked in solutions of different concentrations. The diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane is called osmosis. When water diffuses‚ the water molecules move from a hypotonic environment to a hypertonic environment

particular experiment is to gain knowledge on diffusion across a plasma membrane‚ which is selectively permeable. Diffusion is the movement of a substance from a region of high concentration to lower concentration. Experiment 2 was performed to see how the substance’s‚ starch‚ and diffusion process across a plasma membrane is affected by amylase. We prepared a simulated digestive tract of a caterpillar‚ as the plasma membrane‚ to see if the amylase breaking down the cooked starch affected the diffusion

osmosis is a very simple process. It can be defined as the diffusion of water across a permeable membrane. Osmosis can be cellular or artificial‚ so even though we are creating artificial cells in this lab‚ it is still considered to be osmosis. During osmosis‚ a solvent is trying to get through a selectively permeable membrane to make the concentration of that solvent the same on both sides of the membrane. The rate of osmosis depends on the type of environment the cell is in. There are three different
