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

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

THE AFFECTS OF DIFFERENT SUCROSE SOLUTIONS ON OSMOSIS OF EGG MEMBRANES A laboratory report submitted for LE@D Biology 1004 Michele Liveley Arkansas State University Mountain Home Mountain Home‚ AR September 2013 Osmosis Egg Lab Report Introduction Osmosis is the passing of water or other solutions from an area of high concentration of particles to an area of less concentration. The cell membrane is an organelle‚ selectively permeable‚ and only

Reverse Osmosis For Wastewater Recycling Reusing treated wastewater for beneficial purposes‚ such as agricultural and landscape irrigation‚ industrial processes‚ toilet flushing‚ or groundwater basin replenishment‚ is growing in response to environmental and economic concerns. One of the key factors involved in recycling wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent for another use is the need to reduce total dissolved solids (TDS). This is often done by using a reverse osmosis (RO) system‚ which

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 called passive process‚ which does not require ATP energy and the transport process is driven by concentration or pressure differences

One purpose of the experiment was to gain an understanding of diffusion and osmosis‚ specifically in context of a plant or animal cell reaction to an isotonic‚ hypotonic‚ or hypertonic solution. Another objective was to understand the nuances of simple diffusion‚ facilitated diffusion‚ and active transport and to explicate the characteristics affecting the rates of diffusion. The next objective was to be able to explicate the partition coefficient and its influence on hemolysis. The final objective

Desalination of Seawater Project Paper The main concept of this Desalination process is reverse osmosis‚ but we will get into that later. Right now what is probably running through your head is what exactly is desalination. To put it simply desalination is the process to make seawater or otherwise undrinkable water safe to consume. This can be accomplished through a variety of methods such as the simplest but one of the ones that requires a lot of money would be distillation. Distillation is commonly
