biology sbi4uo-a | Osmosis and Diffusion Lab | By: Elora Hobbin | | Group Members : Ashley Riley-Roy and Adam Reynolds | 9/11/2012 | | Introduction: Osmosis and diffusion are two procedures that are critical for cell survival. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a cell’s membrane. These two procedures help a cell to survive because they help maintain homestasis

Osmosis in Potato Tubers Andrew Dickson Background When a plant cell is bathed in a solution of the same concentration (isotonic) as its intracellular environment‚ its mass and volume remain the same. This is because water enters and leaves the cells at the same rate. There is no net loss or gain of water by osmosis. Samples of cells can be placed in a range of solutions of different concentration. The cells will gain water by osmosis when placed in solutions which are more dilute (hypotonic)

Osmosis using potato cores and sucrose solution 1.0 Abstract This experiment’s ultimate goal is to find the water potential of the potato cell. This was achieved through placing potato cores in different concentrations of sucrose (0.2%‚ 0.4%‚ 0.6%‚ 0.8%‚ 1.0%‚ 2.0%‚ 3.0% and 4.0%) solution and to observe how much water was gained or lost through osmosis to reach a prediction of the concentration within the potato cell. The results displayed that the concentration of sucrose within the potato cell

Diffusion and Osmosis Experiment Methods/Materials: 7.1 Experiment: Rate of Diffusion of Solutes In the initial set up of this experiment I had 2 sets of 3 screw-cap test tubes that had each been half-filled with 5% gelatin and 1-mL of the correct dye (either potassium dichromate‚ aniline blue‚ or Janus green) in each of the test tubes. I labeled the 3 test tubes of set 1 with which die they contained and marked them “5 ˚C”. Then with the other set I did the same exact thing‚ except I labeled

Data Collection: The aim of this experiment was to test the weight of six potatoes before and after being put into different sucrose solutions. The following data was observed and collected throughout the experiment. Observations: -Qualitative: The potatoes were: Tubed shaped Yellow in color Initially hard in texture -Quantitative: Table 1: Weight of the potato in grams before and after placed in a different concentrations of sucrose solutions. Sucrose solution (M) Weight Before (g) ±

Premium Osmosis Chemistry Diffusion
Diffusion and osmosis are processes that are a constant in our lives‚ even though many don’t realize it. Medicaments such as Fervex can be drunk only after diffusion has taken place and the powder granules have diffused into the hot cup of water. On the other hand‚ every day we become unintentional witnesses of osmosis when the roots of the plants try to suck up the water from the soil (1). The purpose of this lab is to show clearly in an understandable way how diffusion and osmosis happen and to

Investigation - Osmosis in Potato Cells 9/7/04 Section 1 Planning Aim What is the aim of your experiment? What do you want to find out? The aim of this experiment is to investigate how potato tissue changes when placed in sucrose solution of different concentrations. Therefore‚ I want to find out if and how osmosis differs‚ when the concentration is changed. Variables What is the variable you are going to change in the experiment? The input variable of this experiment (i.e

solutions. The solution was different concentration of salt and water‚ one was 5% sugar‚ one 10%‚ one 15%‚ one 20% and one 30% salt concentration. We measured the mass of the potatoes chip before and after we put it into the solution. To keep the experiment fair we only changed one variable which was the salt concentration. The results that we got showed the chip went up in mass for 0% salt concentration and 5% salt concentration but for 10%‚ 15%‚ 20% and 30% it went down in mass. This shows

Introduction In this experiment‚ I measured the impact of two different topical chemicals on growing bacteria over the course of a week. Bleach‚ water‚ hand sanitizer and hand soap were all variables used to observe the effects of the bacteria swabbed from my palm and fingers. Bleach has been the go to product for killing germs and it is because of the similar effects it has with high temperature on the proteins in bacteria. I hypothesized that bleach would be the most efficient way for killing the
