Exploration Research Question What is the effect of different concentrations of sucrose in a solution on the mass and surface area of a beetroot (Beta Vulgaris) piece? Background The membrane consists of a phospholipid bilayer which is semi permeable. Osmosis is the passive movement of water molecules from an area of high water potential to an area of low water potential across a semi-permeable membrane. It is easy for water molecules to pass through this membrane however solutes that are big in size may

Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. Size of material and concentration 2. Why do you think the urea was not able to diffuse through the 20 MWCO membrane? How well did the results compare with your prediction? The molecules were too large to pass through. This is what I predicted

to the leaves of a plant. At first water enters the root by osmosis because the soil water has a lower solute concentration of minerals than the epidermal cell cytoplasm (there is a water potential gradient). Water movement across the cortex cell is by two pathways both involving a water potential gradient. The cortex cell cytoplasm has a solute concentration gradient. This moves water symplastically from cell to cell by osmosis. The Apoplastic pathway moves water by capillary action of mass

Abstract: The importance of this computerized simulation study was to gain an understanding of the processes that account for the movement of substances across the plasma membrane‚ and to indicate the driving force for each. This may also be applied to the study of transport mechanisms in living membrane-bounded cells. Also‚ understanding of which way substances will move passively through a deferentially permeable membrane depending on the concentration differences. We used PhysioEx software to

water trying to enter the seed‚ therefore creating a blockage and will become inactive or germinate slowly (cocoponics‚ 2011). Unlike diffusion‚ the mixing of solute particles with water‚ Osmosis is water mixing with solute particles to pass through the cell wall and provide nutrients to the cell. Since osmosis is a type of diffusion that only involves water moving through the permeable membrane‚ salinity affects seed germination through osmotic effects (Bliss et al.‚ 1986). When NaCl is present

Diffusion and Osmosis Through Dialysis tubing We did this experiment to test the diffusion of different substances through dialysis tubing. We used what we knew about diffusion to make predictions on what we thought the mass of the dialysis tubing to be after submerging them for 30 mins and we knew that diffuse occurs from highest concentration to lowest concentration. Since the dialysis tubings are filled with different substances than what they are being put into then they should all gain

Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. ___ Two variables that affect rate of diffusion are molecule size and plasma membrane composition. A larger molecule will diffuse more slowly than a smaller molecule. The lipid content of the plasma membrane determines permeability of certain molecules. A
