OSMOSIS IN POTATO TISSUES Vanessa Tsao‚ Lovette To‚ Wang Yeyun‚ Zhang Shenjia‚ Alicia Mak Class 101‚ Nanyang Girls’ High School‚ 2 Linden Drive‚ Singapore 288683 ABSTRACT In this project‚ the relationship between the concentration of salt solution and the length of the potato strip that was immersed in it was investigated. Five strips of potato of the same length were placed in different Petri dishes that contained water of different salt concentration. They were left for twenty minutes and the length

Investigating the effect of different concentrations of glucose on the percent change in mass of Gummy bears according to their respective colours In this experiment osmosis is the main process taking place. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules of a solvent which pass through a semi permeable layer and in most cases are due to a concentration gradient meaning that the water molecules travel from an area of low concentration to one of higher concentration. In this investigation‚ gummy bears

while the other two potatoes remained firm. There was also an awful odor that only came from the potato in the tap water. Conclusion: The hypothesis was correct. The 40% salt solution killed the sailor. This solution was hypertonic which causes osmosis to move the water out of the cell. The sailor then became too dehydrated and died. Salt absorbs water‚ which is why drinking salt water is not good for

Lab # 2 Diffusion & Osmosis Introduction Kinetic energy‚ a root of energy stored in cells‚ causes molecules to hit into each other and move in new directions. Diffusion is the result of this contact. Diffusion is the random movement of molecules to an area of lower concentration from an area of higher concentration. Osmosis is a type of diffusion. This is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water

Brownian motion This is‚ presumably the random drifting of particles suspended in a fluid (a liquid or a gas) .This movement was discovered and later named after botanist Robert Brown (1773-1858). He was a Scottish botanist and palaeobotanist who made important contributions (including Brownian motion) to botany largely through his pioneering use of the microscope. The scientist who made Brownian motion famous is Albert Einstein‚ who brought the phenomenon to the attention of the larger physics community

AHP216 04/16/13 I. Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to observe the osmosis reaction in a potato with salt and water. In cooking cooks will soak their cut potato’s in water if they will not use them immediately. This allows the potato’s to be used later without turning color. The experiment shows the flow of water through the membranes of the potato with salt over a period of four hours. II. Objective: The reaction of the potato to the side submerged in water and the half excavated

The purpose of this lab was to observe the rate of osmosis and diffusion‚ as well as the effect of molecular size of the particles on this rate. Part I of the lab was a demonstration of osmosis and diffusion‚ that dealt with raisins in different liquid environments‚ each with a different concentration of sugar. Part IV of the lab was using the same idea as the demonstration‚ by putting objects in different concentrations of a substance; in this case elodea leaves in salt water. In both cases‚ the
