Biology GCSE Coursework: Osmosis in Potato Chips Skill Area P: Planning Aim: To investigate the effect of varying concentration of a certain sugar solution on the amount of osmotic activity between the solution and a potato chip of a given size. Hypothesis: Osmosis is defined as the net movement of water or any other solution’s molecules from a region in which they are highly concentrated to a region in which they are less concentrated. This movement must take place across a partially

Osmosis Osmosis is just a special case of diffusion - where water diffuses through a membrane which has different concentrations on either side. Permeable means "allows anything to pass through". Membranes in cells allow small molecules (water) to pass through‚ but prevent bigger ones from passing. This is called "selectively permeable". Take a look at the following animation; If a selectively permeable membrane separates the two solutions‚ water moves through it in both directions at

Sylvester Rimando Geography 2 September 19 2012 Cultural Diffusion: Sushi Sushi is one example of cultural diffusion in which went on to expand on a global scale from a native treat of Japan into an international delicacy. To scope out on how sushi became an international sensation‚ there are 4 factors that identify the chronicles of its origins and through an expansion of this treat internationally. These 4 factors are: the hearth (originating from) ‚

Simple Diffusion Activity 1: Simulating Simple diffusion 1.What is the molecular weight of Na+? 22.9 2. What is the molecular weight of Cl-? 35.45 3. Which MWCO dialysis membranes allowed both of these ions through? 50‚ 100‚ and 200 4. Which materials diffused from the left beaker to the right beaker? Urea‚ NaCl and glucose diffused 5. Which did not? Why? Albumin‚ because the molecular weight exceeded the highest MWCO membrane‚ thus being to large to pass through

the concentration in the potato cubes‚ the percentage of weight change in potato cubes will be higher (positive). If the concentration of the salt solution is the same as the concentration in the cell‚ there will be no net movement of water through osmosis therefore there will be no percentage of weight change in potato cubes 2) The osmolarity of salt within the potato cubes lie between 0.8% and 1.0%. Thus saying‚ solutions of salt ranging from 0.0%(distilled water) to 0.8% will be hypotonic while the

one person understood the exercise and communicated that understanding very well. Osmosis and Water Potential in Potato Tissue Melanie Shadish‚ Rob Harris‚ Patricia Tellekamp Water appears to cross the differentially permeable membrane of potato cells by a process called osmosis. The measure of the energy involved in osmosis is called water potential. Since water must lose energy as it moves by osmosis‚ water must move from an area of greater potential to an area of less water potential

Garfield wants the knowledge of the books to go to his brain. Basically‚ the high concentration (book knowledge) going to low concentration. (his brain) Diffusion is the process by which a substance moves‚ without energy‚ from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. It’s also the main method by which small molecules move across the cell membrane. Since molecules are always moving and bumping into each other‚ the more molecules are in an area‚ the more collisions there will

zmosis The IB Lab Report Measuring osmosis 1. Introduction My experiment is about osmosis on a potato and if or the quantity of salt affects osmosis. I would do the experiment with 5 potatoes cut into squares all the potatoes weight the same so the weight can`t be a variable the I put the potatoes on 5 different plastic cups with different amounts of salt and then I weight them again to see if the quantity of salt affected the osmosis of potatoes 1a. Research question ¿Does the quantity

We only had the potatoes in their solutions for 20 minutes instead of the normal 30 minutes which could mean that the potatoes did not go through the whole process of osmosis. Also‚ a lot of the experiment was rushed as we were under pressure to finish as quickly as possible. Unfortunately the time constraint was caused by and outside influence unrelated to the lab itself‚ and so next time we could do a lab under normal

Diffusion of responsibility is a pervasive socio-psychological phenomenon that is deeply entrenched in all societies. This tends to occur when the size of a group reaches a certain threshold and individuals within the group assume that others will take action or have already intervened‚ commonly resulting in the collective inaction by potential helpers. Another contributing factor is the gender of the individual in need for help which affects the action/inaction of the individuals in the group. The
