Discuss the movement (of substances) inside cells Substances can travel from inside the cell out and from outside of the cell inwards across a membrane. Movement of substances also occurs inside the cell and is part of many of the processes that occur inside cells in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells as well as animal and plant cells. The movement of substances may occur across a semi-permeable membrane such as the phospholipid bilayer membrane on the outside of a cell in the digestive

only thing keeping the liquid goo inside is the thin‚ flexible membrane. Naked eggs are eggs with their shell removed after a vinegar soak revealing the membrane without cracking the egg. The membrane keeps the soft‚ gooey insides‚ inside the egg. Osmosis is when there is an imbalance between two solutes and the liquid will move to balance the solutes making them the same. The more concentrated solute is going to pull to the side that has less concentration and will become the same concentration. In

Premium Membrane biology Osmosis Diffusion
Throughout this lab‚ diffusion and osmosis has been seen and tested through experiment. In part A of the lab‚ diffusion was demonstrated with two solids and an agar gel petri dish. One crystal of potassium permanganate and one crystal of methylene blue were placed on either side of an agar gel petri dish. The purpose of this experiment was to determine which of the crystals would diffuse across the gel more. So the question is‚ which solid would have a higher rate of diffusion through the agar‚ methylene

Potato Osmosis Biology SL - ATh INVESTIGATION “Potato Osmosis” INTRODUCTION Osmosis is a process that occurs at a cellular level that entails the spontaneous net movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration in order to equalize the level of water in each region. Involved in this process are hypotonic‚ hypertonic and isotonic solutions. A hypotonic solution is one with a lower osmotic pressure‚ indicating

Diffusion and Osmosis Diffusion The exchange of substances between cells and the environment occur in ways that require metabolic energy (active transport) and in ways that do not (passive transport-Energy from natural‚ inbuilt motion of particles). Diffusion is an example of passive transport. Diffusion is the net movement of molecules or ions from a region where they are more highly concentrated to one where their concentration is lower. Figure 1 Figure 2 Diffusion is only

Problem question: When a Shell - less egg is placed into a beaker of corn syrup‚ will there be any water going into or out of the egg and if the shell - less egg is placed in a beaker of distilled water will be any net flow of water going into or out of the egg. Hypothesis: If a shell - less egg is placed into a beaker of corn syrup solution‚ then there will be a net flow of water going into the egg because the water molecules will be small enough to pass through the membrane of the egg. If

Osmosis is similar to simple diffusion in that both processes are passive‚ allowing molecules to diffuse through a membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without the input of energy; however it differs from simple diffusion in that during osmosis‚ water is the molecule being diffused‚ and is typically the solvent while in simple diffusion solute molecules

OSMOSIS Aim To determine the water potential of potato tuber cells. Background knowledge Osmosis is defined as the movement of water molecules from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential through a partially permeable membrane. Osmosis is considered in terms of water potential and solute potential. Water potential is a measure of the kinetic energy of water molecules. Here‚ water molecules are constantly moving in a random fashion. Some of them collides with cell

the water and sucrose‚ osmosis can no longer take place. Osmosis can only occur when water is traveling from a higher concentrated area to a lower concentrated area. Hydrostatic pressure occurs when the bag reaches maximum capacity. Water will enter the bag through osmosis but get pushed out through hydrostatic pressure. This works in a cycle and prevents the bag from obtaining more volume and mass. 1b. The curves for the 40% and 20% sucrose differ in the rate of osmosis because of their concentration
