3. Describe the differences between animal and plant cells. Although plant and animal cells both have mitochondria‚ cytoplasm‚ and ribosomes they differ in many ways. Animal cells do not have a cell wall and are round with irregular shapes. Centrioles are also present in all animal cells‚ as well as most eukaryotic cells. Plant cells only have centrioles if they are in the lower plant species. Both types of cells have vacuoles‚ but their functions are quite different. The purpose of vacuoles in

POTENTIAL II OVERVIEW In this laboratory you will investigate the effect of solute concentration on water potential as it relates to living plant tissues. OBJECTIVES Before you begin this lab you should understand: - the mechanisms of diffusion and osmosis and their importance to cells - the concept of water potential - the relationship between solute concentration‚ pressure potential and the water potential of a solution - the concept of molarity and its relationship to osmotic concentration **also

There was a controlled and an experimental substance. The controlled substance was the one with starch in the dialysis bag‚ and the experimental substance was the one with starch and amylase in the dialysis bag. Both had the same solvent outside of the bag (Lugols and Distilled Water). The color change differed from inside and outside the bag as time went on‚ and at the end of the 45 minutes‚ the two bags had changed colors. The solute in the controlled substance had a darker color to it‚ with it

saline solution was added into the baggie‚ it was discovered that a small portion of the saline solution would leave the bag. In the baggie that has 0.2 percent concentration of sucrose‚ it’s initial mass was 20.18 grams‚ after spending a night‚ in a beaker of water‚ a small portion of the 0.2 percent concentration of sucrose escaped‚ and the final mass decreased to 18.73 grams. There was a 7.19 percent decrease

The purpose of this experiment is to become familiar with some properties of water and solutions and distinguish between such terms as diffusion‚ dialysis and osmosis. In this experiment‚ we will be going over water residue‚ water of hydration‚ solutions and dialysis. For Water Residue section‚ place about 1 mL of tap water on a clean watch glass and gently heat it until water has evaporated. Record if there is any residue and repeat this procedure using deionized water. Next‚ for Water of Hydration

can observe the effects of osmosis as the Lugol’s regent (I2Kl) solution on the outside of the beaker permeates the intestine (Dialysis tubing) inducing a chemical reaction that will turn the liquid in the intestine (Dialysis tubing) blue-black. If the amylase successfully digests the starch‚ what results would you expect? If the amylase successfully digests the starch‚ I would expect a no color change occur as well as a presence of glucose in the intestine (Dialysis tubing). If the amylase

Introduction: 1. The purpose of doing this lab was to recognize the effects that salt‚ in different strengths‚ has on cells. 2. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules

mass before and after. Due to osmosis the potato cores will change in mass to make the concentrations at an isotonic level‚ helping us to work out the mass of the potato. I predict that potato in the weaker solutions will gain mass‚ because some water will be absorbed by the potato to make the concentrations isotonic. Similarly‚ I think the potato in the stronger solutions will lose mass as they will have to lose water to dilute the stronger solution. Osmosis: Osmosis is the diffusion of water across

Biology 107 Section 1 11/4/13 Diffusion & Osmosis Introduction The purpose in this experiment was to estimate the osmolarity of potato tuber and celery cells by change of weight.Pieces of potato tuber and celery would be incubated in different sucrose solutions to find out the molarity at which weight of potato and celery tissues do not change. My hypothesis was that the Table 1: Group Data for Experiment:Estimating Osmolarity by Change in Weight Table
