Osmosis coursework Aim: To investigate the effect of different concentration of a sugar solution on the amount of osmotic activity between the solution and pear pieces of a given size. Define osmosis: Osmosis is a net movement of water/ solution molecules from a region of high concentrated area to a region of lower concentrated area through a semi-permeable membrane which lets smaller molecules such as water through but does not allot bigger molecules like glucose to pass through. The molecules

cell had to draw in extra salt following the substantial weight loss from the 3% salt solution. Thus‚ the cell immersed in the 5% salt solution gained weight following the 3% salt solution. This could be examined further in another study regarding osmosis and weight gain in plant cells. In Figure 2‚ it highlights that the average weight (g) from the individual data had a higher ‘before weight (g)’‚ compared to the class data‚ which had a lower ‘before weight (g)’. It is assumed that this is due to

"Do different concentrations of solutions determine the mass of a potato?" Introduction: The way to get the full results of this lab was through the process of osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water across a membrane into a more concentrated solution to reach an equilibrium. When regarding cells osmosis has three different terms that are used to describe their concentration. The first of these words is isotonic. Cells in an isotonic solution show that the water has no net movement and the amount

Substances‚ including water‚ ions‚ and molecules that are required for cellular activities‚ can enter and leave cells by a passive process such as diffusion. Diffusion is random movement of molecules in a net direction from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration

INTRODUCTION Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from high concentration to low concentration through semipermeable membranes‚ caused by the difference in concentrations on the two sides of a membrane (Rbowen‚ L.). It occurs in both animals and plants cells. In human bodies‚ the process of osmosis is primarily found in the kidneys‚ in the glomerulus. In plants‚ osmosis is carried out everywhere within the cells of the plant (World Book‚ 1997). This can be shown by an experiment with potato

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 certain substances can flow through the membrane‚ this allows osmosis to happen to cells in certain solutions. Osmosis can affect the cell in three different types of ways. The cell can

An investigation to find the water potential of potato and carrot tubers in a sucrose solution‚ of concentration 0.00 – 0.50Mol‚ over a 24 hour period Interpretation Written Communication C1 From our graph it can be seen that the concentration of sucrose solution is 0.18 M at 0% change in mass for the potato and 0.355 M at 0% change in mass for the carrot. I will use these values to find the solute potential by using the calibration graph. I will work out the water potential by using the

mass decreased as sucrose concentration increased‚ therefore‚ relative osmotic concentration also decreased as sucrose concentration increased. However‚ the osmotic concentration of 0.2 M sucrose solution was relatively greater than that of 0.1 M sucrose solution. In sucrose concentration 0.5 M‚ the osmotic concentration decreased slightly from that of 0.4‚ but significantly from those of all other sucrose concentrations. The osmotic concentrations were greater than zero in sucrose solutions of 0

retains the solids and contaminants in the water. The membrane is the most important part of the system. It very hard to located problems in the membrane. In addition‚ if the membrane is not in perfect condition‚ the system is not working. Reverse osmosis is a kind of filtration. Filtration is an oldest process that consists in the water passing through sand‚ gravel or membrane. Thus prevent the solids and contaminates passing for the other side. The pores of the filters need to be small. The smaller
