Lab Report on Osmosis and Diffusion Biology 1‚ Period 3 March 15‚ 2010 Lab Team: Jason Perez‚ Kicia Long‚ Chris McLemore Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to observe the acts of passive transport: diffusion and osmosis in a model membrane system. The experiment will show how molecules in solution move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. The model membrane is dialysis tubing. Materials Used 2.5 cm dialysis tubing 15% glucose

Practical Work Nº2: “Different methods to control osmosis” Aim: observe and test the process of osmosis through different kinds of methods: the weigh (potato)‚ the density (beetroot) and under the light microscope (onion). Hypothesis: according to the encyclopedia definition osmosis is the diffusion of a liquid (most often assumed to be water‚ but it can be any liquid solvent) through a partially-permeable membrane from a region of high solvent potential to a region of low solvent potential. Thus

as we increased the sucrose concentration it was a decrease in the percent change. Introduction All cells have membranes that are selectively permeable. In other words‚ they allow certain things in and certain substances are not allowed to enter the inside of the cell. Osmosis is the process of water movement across the membranes from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration to reach a sense of equilibrium. Diffusion is what enables osmosis to occur.

You may be wondering what diffusion‚ tonicity‚ osmosis and semipermeable membrane is. I’ll start off by explaining semipermeable membrane. A semipermeable membrane relates to the dialysis lab #1 because in dialysis tubing is considered semipermeable barriers. Semipermeable membrane is a membrane that allows passage of some particles but not others. (Lab manual) Diffusion on the other hand‚ is a form of passive transport where particles move down their concentration gradient from a region of high

The purpose of this lab was to observe the rate of osmosis and diffusion‚ as well as the effect of molecular size of the particles on this rate. Part I of the lab was a demonstration of osmosis and diffusion‚ that dealt with raisins in different liquid environments‚ each with a different concentration of sugar. Part IV of the lab was using the same idea as the demonstration‚ by putting objects in different concentrations of a substance; in this case elodea leaves in salt water. In both cases‚ the

Diffusion and Osmosis Lab Introduction • What molecules can pass through a semi-permeable membrane? In this lab study we tested carbohydrates such as starch and glucose‚ as well as solutions like Benedict’s and Lugol’s to see if they would cross the membrane of a cell but since we can’t actually see that happen we used dialysis tubing (acts as the cell membrane). • My prediction was that glucose and Benedict’s could pass the semi-permeable membrane but starch and Lugol’s wouldn’t be able to

Lab # 2 Diffusion & Osmosis Introduction Kinetic energy‚ a root of energy stored in cells‚ causes molecules to hit into each other and move in new directions. Diffusion is the result of this contact. Diffusion is the random movement of molecules to an area of lower concentration from an area of higher concentration. Osmosis is a type of diffusion. This is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water

Lab report OSMOSIS TROUGH A SELECTIVELY PERMEABLE MEMBRANE Introduction: Molecules have kinetic energy. This causes the molecules of the cell to move around and bump into each other. Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion where water moves through a selectively permeable membrane (a membrane that only allows certain molecules to diffuse though). Diffusion or osmosis occurs until dynamic equilibrium has been reached. This is the point where the concentrations in both areas are equal and no

Potato osmosis report Operators Introduction The purpose of the liberation Liberation is to understand what is happening with the potatoes when it is in the water. To find out how osmosis takes place and what it ’s purpose as well as other examples of osmosis. The experiment is to understand what is happening with the potatoes when they are in the water and understand the osmosis process occurs.
