than the plant cell‚ water will move leave the cell‚ and the cell becomes plasmolysed (flaccid). If the plant cell is place in a solution with the same water potential‚ there will be no net movement of water. The cell is then said to be incipient plasmolysis. The table below shows what happens to the cell when water moves in and out of a cell. Water potential of solution compared to cell Higher Equal Lower Net movement of water Enters cell Neither

Title: Ms. K Cell Membrane and Homeostasis Experiment Objective(s): The reason for this experiment is to see how starch and iodine affect each other and how a plastic bag works similar to a membrane in certain situations. Introduction: I know prior to doing this experiment that iodine mixed with starch creates a dark color and that most objects‚ organic and inorganic‚ naturally experience isotonic reactions. Hypothesis: I think that the potato will absorb more starch than the sweet potato and

The water molecule will flow from higher concentration to lower concentration‚ so that they get out of potato cells through osmosis. The plasma membrane of plant cell will collapse as the water inside the cell become less and less‚ that cause plasmolysis and the cell become flaccid. 2. A salt water fish may die if placed in fresh water. Why? In order to keep an isotonic condition‚ the salt water fish’s cells have the same concentration with salt water. When they are placed in fresh water‚ concentration

AND BURSTING of animal cells when water enters is called cytolysis. This happens when a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution. The SHRINKING of plant cells when water leaves so the cell membrane pulls away from the cell wall is called plasmolysis. It happens when a plant cell is placed into hypertonic solution. The shrinking of ANIMAL cells that are placed in a HYPERTONIC solution is called crenation. Cells stay the same size when placed in an isotonic solution because the amount

Abstract The Seeds of Mung bean‚ wheat‚ and silver beet were tested in environments of differing salinities to note down if high salinity environments were worse for the seeds. It was found that generally lower concentrations were better for germination then higher concentrations. Despite this‚ the hypothesis was not completely supported as in wheat and silver beet the second concentration had a higher rate of germination than the control and in all instances the highest concentration had a higher

Diffusion and Osmosis Experiment Methods/Materials: 7.1 Experiment: Rate of Diffusion of Solutes In the initial set up of this experiment I had 2 sets of 3 screw-cap test tubes that had each been half-filled with 5% gelatin and 1-mL of the correct dye (either potassium dichromate‚ aniline blue‚ or Janus green) in each of the test tubes. I labeled the 3 test tubes of set 1 with which die they contained and marked them “5 ˚C”. Then with the other set I did the same exact thing‚ except I labeled

EXPERIMENT TO SHOW THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT CONCENTRATION OF GLUCOSE ON POTATO STRIPS INTRODUCTION: Molecules of liquid and gas are constantly in motion‚ they move randomly in all directions and bounce around in all directions and bounce around and into each other. As they move‚ they tend to spread out moving from areas with many molecules to areas with fewer molecules . This process of spreading out is called Diffusion‚ for example smell of cooking travelling around the house from the kitchen
