purpose of the lab was to investigate osmosis‚ which was successfully achieved because there was a change in the potato’s mass which was due to the net movement of water either into the potato cells or out of the potato cells. In the 0.400M solution‚ the potato decreased in mass‚ this was due to the reason that the solution was hypertonic. There was a higher concentration of solute and lower concentration of water in the solution than there was in the potato cells. This led the water to travel down

and onion cells. Background Information 1. Diffusion is the movement of solutes from high to low concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water from low to high concentration. Both refer to movement in/out of a cell‚ but osmosis refers specifically to water. 2. Isotonic‚ hypertonic‚ and hypotonic all refer to the comparison of concentrations of solutes in verses out of the cell. Isotonic is when the concentration in the cell is the same as the concentration outside of the cell. Hypertonic

Osmosis Lab: Potatoes and Elodea Background Information: Cells have a need to regulate their internal environment. They need to be able to this because cells often find themselves in environments where the concentration of dissolved solids outside the cell is different from the number of dissolved solids inside the cell. Since the solids can not move across the membrane‚ the cell responds by moving water either into or out of the cell in an attempt to balance the number dissolved particles.

Microscopy‚ Cell Structure and Function Task 2 I: Name and describe the four main types of tissues in animals stating their functions and their location in the body give two examples of each type. The four main types of tissues that you will find in eukaryotes are connective‚ muscle‚ nervous and epithelial tissues; each of which having very different roles. Connective Tissue The first tissue type I am going to look at is the connective tissue. This tissue is found all over the body‚ including

class average‚ there is evidence that osmosis did occur in the bags. The largest change in mass was in the 1.0M sucrose bag the mass went from 12g initially to 14.2g‚ this gained 2.2g‚ an 18.3% change in mass for the group data over the duration of the experiment. The 0.2M bag went from 10.2g to 10.9g a 6.9% change in mass; the 0.4M bag went from 12.1g to 12.2g .83% change in mass; the 0.8M bag went from 10.9g to 12.2g and an 11.9% change in mass. During osmosis water diffuses‚ going from an area
Premium Chemistry Concentration Osmosis
Introduction Cells have to interact with their environment‚ chemicals and water and in order to do so they must be able to move across the cell membrane and the cell. The movements within a cell are called Diffusion. When molecules move across a cell membrane it is known as Osmosis. Diffusion is the process by which molecules of a substance move from areas of higher concentration of that substance to areas of lower concentration. Diffusion can be the transfer of anything anywhere. However‚

Osmosis The purpose of this lab is to study how membranes of plant and animal cells react when exposed to different solutions. The first experiment involves purple onion skin and the second involves rat blood in various solutions. I needed to understand certain terms before preforming this lab to be able to efficiently explain what is happening to the cells. Diffusion is the tendency of a substance to move down its concentration gradient from a more concentrated to a less concentrated area.

germination is the uptake of water by the seed. This is the part where osmosis takes place. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane in which the water moves from a high concentration to an area where there are water molecules with a low concentration. Osmosis is similar to diffusion in the way mentioned earlier with the molecules moving from high to low concentration. Another similarity that osmosis shares with diffusion is that both processes work as passive transports

Question 1: How does Osmosis works It refers to the movement of water molecules from an area of high-level water concentration‚ that is‚ a dilute solution‚ to an area of low-level water concentration‚ that is‚ a strong solution through a semi-permeable membrane. (Passmyexams.co.uk‚ 2015) Actually‚ water moves in a bi-directional manner with the aim of leveling up the concentration. However‚ a high number of water molecules move from the fresh water towards the salty water. The outcome
