General Biology I Lab (Bio 104) CRITICAL THINKING ACTIVITY I – Diffusion/Osmosis Name: Tonya Finch What are the 2 tests substances? 1. Potato starch 2. Sugar Water 3. Why did a color change occur in the jar water? Because IKI was added to give it an amber color (gold color). It iodine solution and this caused the color change. 4. What does the color change in #3 indicate? Water and IKI was in jar and the iodine caused the color change of the water. 5. Why did a color change

Cell Membrane Simple diffusion is when a small‚ non-polar molecule passes through a lipid bilayer. It is classified as a means of passive transport. In simple diffusion‚ a hydrophobic molecule can move into the hydrophobic region of the membrane without getting rejected. Simple diffusion does not involve a protein. An example of simple diffusion is osmosis. Hydrophilic molecules cannot participate in simple diffusion because they would move into the hydrophobic region of the membrane and be

tuberosum L._ BACKGROUND A cell needs to perform diffusion in order to survive. Substances‚ including water‚ ions‚ and molecules that are required for cellular activities‚ can enter and leave cells by a passive process such as diffusion. Diffusion is random movement of molecules in a net direction from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration order to reach equilibrium. Diffusion does not require any energy input. Diffusion is needed for basic cell functions - for example

lab helps further our understanding of essential principles behind diffusion and osmosis. Permeability‚ concentration gradients‚ plasmolysis‚ water potential‚ and equilibrium were also concepts that were delved into in this lab. Understanding how diffusion and osmosis works is essential to understanding biology. Each time a cell has something move into or out of it‚ some sort of principle studied in this lab is occurring. Diffusion‚ osmosis‚ and passive and active transport are all fundamental concepts

nutrients throughout their bodies. The distribution of these nutrients must remain constant otherwise the organism will not be able to function at full capacity‚ which may lead to its death. It is for this reason that osmosis and other forms of diffusion are of prime importance to all living organisms‚ because they influence the distribution of nutrients throughout the

1. DNA Nucleotide [pic] Nucleotides consist of three parts --- a pentose sugar‚ a nitrogen-containing base‚ and a phosphate group. A pentose sugar is a five-sided sugar. Deoxyribose has a hydrogen atom attached to its #2 carbon atom (designated 2’)‚ and ribose has a hydroxyl group atom there. Deoxyribose-containing nucleotides are the monomers of DNA RNA Nucleotide [pic] The left picture shows the nucleotide unit of RNA. Nucleotides differ from nucleosides

SELECTIVELY PERMEABLE MEMBRANE Introduction: Molecules have kinetic energy. This causes the molecules of the cell to move around and bump into each other. Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion where water moves through a selectively permeable membrane (a membrane that only allows certain molecules to diffuse though). Diffusion or osmosis occurs until dynamic equilibrium has been reached. This is the point where the concentrations in both areas are equal and no net movement will occur from one area to

new policies into a jurisdiction. The analysis of policy innovation and diffusion is important in explaining policy introduction and the non-incremental aspect of policy change. This paper is my response to the literature by Frances Stokes Berry and William D. Berry titled “Innovation and Diffusion Models in Policy Research” as well as the article by Charles R. Shipan and Craig Volden called “The Mechanisms of Policy Diffusion”. In this essay‚ I maintain that the unified model proposed by Berry and

Osmosis is the movement of water across a membrane. It always navigates to the area of the membrane with a higher solute concentration. We take a closer look at the effects of osmosis in this lab through the examination of red blood cells (sheep)‚ plant cells (elodea)‚ and active transport in yeast. Under the microscope‚ we can determine the effects on plant and animal cells exposed to hypotonic‚ hypertonic‚ and isotonic sodium chloride solutions. Plant cells have a cell wall; however‚ animal cells
