LAB REPORT 1 - LAB 7 CELL MEMBRANE FUNCTION Marisela Camacho Legarreta June 30‚ 2013 ACTIVITY 1 INTRODUCTION Be aware that all molecules have kinetic energy‚ which means that is an active energy that is always in motion. Molecules move in all different ways and this create an evenly distributed movement which is best known as diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region of their higher concentration to a lower concentration. METHODS Check the reaction of different

Cellular Transport Worksheet KEY OSMOSIS Copy the pictures below‚ and write the correct type of solution underneath (isotonic‚ hypertonic‚ or hypotonic) Hypotonic Hypertonic Isotonic Hypertonic means there is a GREATER concentration of solute molecules OUTSIDE the cell than inside. Hypo tonic means there is a LOWER concentration of solute molecules OUTSIDE the cell than inside. Isotonic means there

Study guide questions: Movements through membrances 1. Prepare a graph that illustrate the diffusion distance of potassium in 10 minutes 2. Explain your graph : 3. Define simple diffusion: 4. Define osmosis: Osmosis can be defined as the movement of solvent molecules across a semipermeable or selectively permeable membrane ‚from a region of lower concentration of the solute to that of a higher concentration till equilibrium is attained. 5. What is the change in the level of molasses

high salt concentration in the solution. I believe it has a great deal to do with osmosis. Osmosis is basically the movement of water from in a cell to outside it or from outside the cell to inside it. The 0% salt concentration and the 5% salt concentration showed a mass increase because there was a higher water concentration outside of the potato cells than inside them. To solve this the potato cells experience osmosis to balance the concentration of water in the cell and outside it. Since there is

--------- 7 * CONCLUSION ----------------------------------------------------------- 8 * REFERENCE ----------------------------------------------------------- 9 TITLE Osmotic pressure within red blood cell. INTRODUCTION Osmosis is a passive movement of water molecules going across the partially permeable membrane. It is a very spontaneous process due to the downhill energy flow known as “water potential” by which‚ water molecules move from a region of higher water potential
Premium Cell wall Osmosis
Aim To investigate the effects of increasing salinity on potato cell mass. Background Information This experiment is based upon osmosis. Osmosis can be defined as the net movement of water molecules from a region with high concentration to a region with low concentration. This movement must take place across a partially permeable membrane such as a cell wall‚ which lets smaller molecules such as water through but does not allow bigger molecules to pass through. This process will take place until

sed. it it takes about a day till all of the carbon is out of the egg. then it becomes soft. 4. the process of osmosis‚ water moves through the permeable membrane of the lettuce cells. the lettuce then becomes crisp.Osmosis is the process in which water moves from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. A membrane is not needed to actually do osmosis but osmosis can occur in the presence of a membrane. but the lettuce in the water becomes firm because of the cell membrane structure
Premium Chemistry Osmosis Egg
Membrane Functions: Aim: To demonstrate the process of osmosis using a chicken’s egg Hypothesis: I predict that the egg’s mass after 10 min. in the 5% salt solution would increase due to and balancing out the solution. In the 10% salt solution‚ the egg’s mass would decrease since there is a high amount of salt. In the dilute water solution‚ the egg’s mass will increase‚ as the membrane would take in that water. Materials: 1- One fresh egg 2- One plastic spoon 3- One plastic fork

BIOLOGY OSMOSIS LAB REPORT 1. Research Question/ Aim How do the different sodium chloride concentrations of solutions affect the length (measured in mm) and mass (measured in grams) of potato cores placed in them overnight (approximately 10 hours)? 2. Hypothesis Alternative hypothesis: As the concentration of sodium chloride in the solution increases‚ the mass of the potato cores will decrease. If the solution they are in has a lower water potential than the potato cores‚ there will be
