caterpillar’s digestive tract using dialysis tubing and glassware. The first material in this experiment is a small beaker representing the head and crop of the caterpillar. This beaker is filled with both starch and the enzyme α-amylase. This enzyme digests the starch found in the leaves the caterpillar is eating‚ which breaks it down into glucose. The opening of the soaked dialysis tubing represents the opening between the crop and intestine‚ so you fill the tubing with the solution from the small

Diffusion Through Membranes IB Biology 11 Diffusion Through Membranes OBJECTIVES In this experiment‚ you will Use a Conductivity Probe to measure the ionic concentration of various solutions. Study the effect of concentration gradients on the rate of diffusion. Determine if the diffusion rate for a molecule is affected by the presence of a second molecule. BACKGROUND Diffusion is a process that allows ions or molecules

soaked dialysis tubing * 2 dialysis tubing clamps or pieces of twine * 2 clean plastic pipettes * 1 bottle of Lugol’s solution * 2 glucose test strips Procedure: Begin the experiment by placing 4 full pipettes worth of cooked starch in a beaker. Then‚ use a second clean pipette to add 4 full pipettes worth of α-amylase to the beaker and stir to simulate food mixing with saliva in the mouth. Afterwards‚ leaving the mixture in the beaker‚ obtain a piece of soaked dialysis tubing and

Introduction There are many different factors that can influence the rate of diffusion through a membrane. Chemical kinetics plays a large part in diffusion. In order for a solute to passively diffuse through a membrane‚ it must line up with a pore in the membrane and pass through it (textbook 101). The concentration gradient is also important for diffusion because solutes diffuse from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration (textbook page 101). There are different factors that
Premium Osmosis Diffusion Chemistry
Throughout this lab‚ diffusion and osmosis has been seen and tested through experiment. In part A of the lab‚ diffusion was demonstrated with two solids and an agar gel petri dish. One crystal of potassium permanganate and one crystal of methylene blue were placed on either side of an agar gel petri dish. The purpose of this experiment was to determine which of the crystals would diffuse across the gel more. So the question is‚ which solid would have a higher rate of diffusion through the agar‚ methylene

Ronald Wilson Pd:4th 11/16/12 Introduction In this experiment diffusion and osmosis is the main idea. When using diffusion and osmosis you are trying to separate different solute concentrations on either side of the membrane. Only a solute’s relative concentration‚ or water potential‚ affects the rate of osmosis. The higher the concentration of solutes‚ the faster water will flow through the membrane to equalize the concentration. The way we describe the movement from higher to lower concentration

We then securely tied both ends of the tubing and placed it in a large beaker‚ two-thirds filled with water. We then added 4 pipettes of Lugol’s reagent to the beaker and let it sit for one hour. Next‚ we took a control with just starch in dialysis tubing and placed it in a large beaker‚ two-thirds filled with water. We added 4 pipettes of Lugol’s to the water and also let this sit for 1 hour. At

The fluid mosaic model of the cell membrane. What is the fluid mosaic model? The fluid mosaic model is a model conceived by S.J. Singer and Garth Nicolson in 1972 to describe the structural features of biological membranes. The membrane is described to be fluid because of its hydrophobic integral components such as lipids and membrane proteins that move laterally or sideways throughout the membrane. That means the membrane is not solid‚ but more like a ’fluid’. The membrane is depicted as mosaic
