Experiment 2 : Transport Across Membrane Name : Matrix No : Group : B Semester : 1 Date of Experiment : 05.09.2013 Lecturer’s Name : Miss OBJECTIVE To study the effects of hypotonic‚ hypertonic and isotonic solutions on plant and animal cells. INTRODUCTION In cellular biology the term membrane transport refers to the collection of mechanisms that regulate the passage of solutes such as ions and small molecules through biological membranes‚ which are lipid bilayers

THINKING ACTIVITY I – Diffusion/Osmosis Name: Tonya Finch What are the 2 tests substances? 1. Potato starch 2. Sugar Water 3. Why did a color change occur in the jar water? Because IKI was added to give it an amber color (gold color). It iodine solution and this caused the color change. 4. What does the color change in #3 indicate? Water and IKI was in jar and the iodine caused the color change of the water. 5. Why did a color change occur in the dialysis tubing bag? In the bag there

point than pure water. The second property observed was osmosis pressure. This experiment used a 6 inch piece of dialysis tubing that was filled 2/3 full with light Karo syrup and tied off. Then it was completely submerged in a large glass bowl of room temperature distilled water. The dialysis tubing acts as a semi-permeable barrier and water passed through to inside the tube and over the next several hours‚ this act caused the tube to swell. Osmosis is where water moves from an area of high concentration

Cell Biology- Osmosis‚ Cell Size and Diffusion and Enzymes 1.0 INTRODUCTION Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things. They provide structure for the body‚ take in nutrients from the food‚ convert those nutrients into energy‚ and carry out specialized functions. Cells also contain the body’s genetic material and can make copies of themselves. A cell is also a metabolic compartment where many different chemical reaction occur. There are two types of cells‚ eukaryotic and prokaryotic

the null hypothesis for weight change because weight is not impacted by temperature. The statistical test used results that did not show that the lipid bilayer portion of the membrane of living cells is not permeable like the dialysis membrane used in the lab. The dialysis membrane used in the lab is permeable to small ions like Na+ and Clˉ. The experiment was also performed in a “closed system” which is not reflected in the statistical test. The results of the statistical test does however support

after the use of osmosis. Three different tests were performed‚ each with a beaker of water containing varying amounts of starch from 30% concentration (12.5 grams of water) to 15% concentration (9.5 grams of water)‚ and then 0% (10.5 grams of water). To start this experiment‚ we put water into a make-shift dialysis tube‚ a type of semi-permeable membrane tubing made from regenerated cellulose (Wikipedia). We then tied each end of the dialysis tube with floss‚ weighed the dialysis tubes and recorded
