Objective: To observe the effects of osmosis on eggs placed in vinegar (5% acetic acid)‚ syrup (60% sugar solution)‚ and water (100% distilled). Hypothesis: Hypothesis #1: It was hypothesised that the egg would gain 59 grams of mass after soaking in vinegar for 24 hours. Hypothesis #2: It was hypothesised that the egg would become larger when soaked in syrup than it once was due to the hypotonic environment. Hypothesis #3: It was hypothesised that the egg would soak in water for 72 hours‚ losing

Ahmed Salem 17/1/2011 Section 3 The process of Natural Importance Introduction Osmosis is when a fluid passes threw a semi permeable membrane. Moving from an area in which a solute such as salt is present in low concentrations to an area in which the solute is present in high concentrations. There are three types of osmosis: hypertonic is when there is high concentration and the cell has no water inside it (shrunk)‚ hypotonic is when there is low concentration and the cell has swelled up or

Diffusion and Osmosis Worksheet Diffusion is the movement of particles from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. It is a natural‚ random process. This means that it does not require extra energy input. 1a. These are pictures of molecules frozen at two different times. Draw arrows to show the direction each particle might travel due to diffusion in diagrams A and B. A. B. Random arrows Random arrows 1b. Describe the way the particles

Biology laboratory work: Osmosis observation Measuring the dependence of net mass gain in potato pieces on concentration of sugar solution By Jonas Kulikauskas Siauliai Didzdvaris Gymnasium Hypothesis: The more sugar in solution‚ the more potato mass will decrease. Aim: To see how potato mass will change at different concentration solution. Research question: How the mass of potato will change at different concentration solutions? Variables: Dependent: solution concentration. Independent:

Introduction: In this experiment I aim to investigate the effect of the surface area to volume ratio on the rate evaporation of water in different sized containers. By measuring the time it takes for the whole amount of water to evaporate‚ a conclusion can be made about the validity of the surface to volume ratio in regards to the biological process of diffusion. Research Question: What is the effect of the surface area to volume ratio on the evaporation of water? Variables: - Independent:

and air as the control. When performing this experiment‚ the main element to consider is hypertonic‚ hypotonic and isotonic solutions and how they relate to osmosis. Osmosis is the process where a fluid passes through a semipermeable membrane‚ which moves from an area which the solute is present in high concentrations. As a result of osmosis‚ there will be an equal amount of fluid on either side of the barrier‚ creating an isotonic solution. When cells are placed in an isotonic solution‚ the movement

Diffusion and Osmosis of Solutes and Water Across a Membrane Brittany Bacallao Nova Southeastern University Abstract: This experiment gave a visual understanding of osmosis and diffusion. The first experiment proved that solutes would move down a concentration gradient if permeable to the selective membrane. The second experiment proved different solute concentrations affect the movement of water‚ depending on the solute concentration inside the cell. The purpose of this lab was to look for

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
