& Diffusion – Ferris Shaw Research Question: How does the surface area to volume ratio affect the diffusion rate in agar cubes? Hypothesis: The rate of diffusion in directly related to the surface area to volume ratio of cells and is responsible for the efficiency of absorbing nutrients‚ oxygen‚ minerals etc. in the cell. This ratio is specific to cells as they require a ratio that isn’t big enough to take too long to receive the nutrients and oxygen or too small to impair diffusion‚ known

water-soluble substances cross the membrane through simple diffusion‚ facilitated diffusion and active transport. Osmosis is thought of as the diffusion of water from an area of high concentration of water molecules to an area of low concentration‚ across a partially permeable membrane. To define osmosis more accurately we define it in terms of water potential. Water potential is a measure of how easy it is for water molecules to move. Diffusion occurs because substances attract a ‘cloud’ of polar water

differences in the interior and exterior of the cell. The second type is active processes which use energy known as ATP to power the transport. There are two main types of passive processes called diffusion and filtration. This can be split into different types such as simple diffisuion‚ facilitated diffusion‚ osmosis and filtration. The objective of these experiments is to provide information on the passage of solutes and water through semi permeable membranes and relate them back to the study

create an evenly distributed movement which is best known as diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region of their higher concentration to a lower concentration. METHODS Check the reaction of different compounds with the dialysis membranes and the deionized water in order to see if the compounds present diffusion and at what rate. RESULTS DISCUSSION 1. Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. The composition of the layer because this varies in every

Introduction: There are two main types of passive transport; diffusion and filtration (Marieb 68). In this experiment the focus is the importance of diffusion‚ the random movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion where water moves through a selectively permeable membrane (a membrane that only allows certain molecules to diffuse). Diffusion or osmosis occurs until dynamic equilibrium is reached‚ or has been reached

Introduction : Diffusion: In general‚ diffusion process occur when there is a concentration gradient between two region .Molecules (other than water) will move by diffusion as long as there is a concentration gradient. A concentration gradient exists when a particular type of molecule (like food coloring dye molecules) is not spread out in an even concentration‚ but exists in a higher concentration at some point. Discussing about the movement across the plasma membrane of cell‚ diffusion is the simplest

Diffusion and Osmosis Using “Deshelled” Chicken Eggs Introduction In order for a cell to survive and function‚ it must maintain an internal steady state of environment in the midst of an ever-changing external environment. This steadiness is provided by the regulation of the movement of materials across its plasma membrane. Since not all substances penetrate the membrane equally well‚ the membrane is said to be differentially permeable. (IS) Diffusion is the tendency of molecules

the inside of the egg. Diffusion is the movement of a substance down its concentration gradient from a more to a less concentrated area. Meaning if there was more oxygen on one side of the membrane and the membrane was permeable to oxygen‚ the oxygen would pass through to the side of less oxygen. Osmosis is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane. Diffusion and osmosis is important for organisms because our nutrients‚ oxygen‚ and etc.‚ need diffusion to go through compartments
