Osmosis in Red Onion Cells By: Youssef Gharib Brief Description of Osmosis in Red Onion cells: Osmosis is the diffusion of water from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration across a semi-permeable membrane. The purpose of this lab is to compare the three different types of solutions affect on the relative size of the vacuole to the cell‚ the outer membrane of onion red cells (tunics) are used to figure out the different types. In the red onion you can see effects promptly

Osmosis Lab Research Question: In this lab‚ our goal was to look at the effects of different sucrose concentrations on osmosis in potatoes. Our research question was “How do the sugar levels affect the rate of osmosis in potatoes?”. Background Information: Solutions consist of solutes dissolved in a solvent. In all living organisms there are many different types of solutes including salts and sugars. The major solvent is water. There are different concentrations of solutes in various regions

the beaker of water for a longer period of time‚ then more water will travel through the selectively permeable membrane due to the effects of diffusion on the solution. If the level of sucrose within the solution increases‚ then the effects of osmosis will cause the change in mass to also increase due to higher concentrations of sucrose and the increased net movement of the water molecules within the solution. Analysis - When the glucose and starch solution was placed in the beaker of water for

water through osmosis Introduction In this I will be investigating what effects the movement of water through osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water. It is the process in which fluids pass through a partially-permeable membrane. It is the movement of water from high water concentration to low water concentration. Plant cells react to osmosis by hypertonic‚ isotonic and hypotonic. Keywords Hypertonic – is when the water outside of the cell is lower than that inside. Isotonic – is when the

weigh less due to osmosis. Our null hypothesis was: If the pH level of a solution is either acidic or basic‚ then it will have no effect on the weight. The independent variable was the different solutions of different pH values. The dependent variable was the weight of the potato‚ which was measured in grams. The baseline of this experiment is the weight of the potato when in the milk solution because milk has a neutral pH. The controls in this experiment are that each sample had

Hypothesis Activity One: Simple Diffusion- Simulating Dialysis Simple diffusion will occur between different concentrations until equilibrium is reached. Activity Two: Simulating Facilitated Diffusion Facilitated diffusion will occur between different concentrations. Material and Methods * Two beakers * Membrane holder * Four Dialysis membranes: 20 (MWCO)‚ 50 (MWCO)‚ 100 (MWCO)‚ 200 (MWCO). * Membrane barrier * Four solutes: NaCl

OSMOSIS IN POTATO TISSUES Vanessa Tsao‚ Lovette To‚ Wang Yeyun‚ Zhang Shenjia‚ Alicia Mak Class 101‚ Nanyang Girls’ High School‚ 2 Linden Drive‚ Singapore 288683 ABSTRACT In this project‚ the relationship between the concentration of salt solution and the length of the potato strip that was immersed in it was investigated. Five strips of potato of the same length were placed in different Petri dishes that contained water of different salt concentration. They were left for twenty minutes and the length

Aim To observe and measure the effect of osmosis on the mass of potato using a starch solution. Introduction In order to measure the effect of osmosis‚ eighteen pieces of potato were cut and placed in six groups‚ each group of three pieces cut to weigh as close as possible to one another. For each potato group‚ a test tube was half filled with a starch solution varying in concentration from 0% (water) to 1%. Hypothesis Through osmosis‚ I hypothesise that as the solution of the starch in

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

knowing the cause of it. And there is no meaning in it if we just accept things without reasons. That’s why this experiment is conducted so that we may know how things happen in the level of cells. Objectives: 1. To demonstrate the principle of Osmosis and to apply it with actual life situations.
