Potato Catalysis Lab Pre-Lab Assignment Background Information: An enzyme is catalytic protein. It is the most important type of molecule found in living cells. Cells would not be able to function without enzymes. Enzymes speed up or slow down chemical reactions of the cells. It is usually easy to identify the names of enzymes because they end in -ase. The enzyme that acts upon the substrate hydrogen peroxide is usually called catalase. This enzyme is found in both plants and animals

Lab Report Diffusion is - One of two kinds of passive transport‚ - Diffusion can transport ions from higher concentration to lower concentration region without any other forces. - A net movement of molecules in and out of cell membrane - Diffusion can be affected by the steepness of the concentration gradient. Lab question: Is the rate of diffusion influenced by the presence of second molecule? Prediction: the rate of diffusion is influenced by the presence of second molecule

purpose of this experiment was to test different solute concentrations on the rate of osmosis. Artificial cells were filled with different solute concentrations and placed in water and weighed at equal time intervals to show how the water moves across cell membranes and down its concentration gradient into the lower concentrated area. The weights of the cells were recorded each interval‚ and then the rate of osmosis was found by calculating the corrected cumulative change in weight. The prediction

Cell Size: Is Bigger Better? Problem: Why are cells small? Objective: To see the relationship between cell size and diffusion of materials. Hypothesis: If we cut three different sizes of cells‚ then the smallest one will survive the longest due to its sufficient permeable membrane.

Osmosis Lab Report by Evan Gerber Claire Cambron First Lab Report Wednesday 10:30am February 20‚ 2013 Theresa Gburek Abstract The major objective of the experiment was to test the effect of the concentration gradient on the diffusion rate. It was hypothesized that the greater the stronger the concentration gradient‚ the faster the rate of diffusion would be. To test this‚ dialysis tubes were submerged in different concentration fructose solutions. We weighed the tubes at specific

Nikhil Gopalam October Mailbox #55 Affects of Osmosis and Diffusion Introduction: Perfume spreads in a room‚ hands bloat when left in water for too long (shriveling is a common misconception)‚ a tea bag’s contents diffuse through the water. These are all examples of diffusion and osmosis. These phenomena happen everyday and people don’t realize what is actually happening. The purpose of the lab is to see the effects of diffusion and osmosis. In part B‚ the higher the concentration of solute

the effect of sugar on the mass of potato Introduction- diffusion is a passive transport where molecules move from areas of higher concentration to areas of low concentrations. Although the molecule ’s movement is random‚ equilibrium is being sought out. Osmosis is a type of diffusion only It involves water. In osmosis water diffuses from the area of high concentration to an area of low concentration‚ to diffuse the more molecule rich side. Because cells have selectively permeable membranes‚ meaning

Lab Report INTRODUCTION: This experiment is being done to find out what happens to a carrot or a potato if you place them in two different solutions. Osmosis has a lot to do with this experiment and is the movement of water molecules from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Osmosis only deals with water and is a type of diffusion. The difference between all three solutions is that in a hypertonic solution the cells fluid rushes out of the cell and causes it to shrivel. In a hypotonic

Diffusion in Cells Isabel Zak Question: How does the size of a cell affect the distribution of chemicals throughout the cell? Hypothesis: The larger the cell is‚ the more difficult it will be for the chemicals to reach the centre of the cell‚ and diffuse throughout it. This is because there will be a higher surface-area to volume ratio in the larger cells‚ making the centre of the cells further away from the surface. Therefore‚ when dipped in sodium hydroxide‚ the larger cells will not
