    Demonstrating Osmosis in Potato Conclusion The data we had did not support the definition of OsmosisOsmosis is the diffusion of water through a partially permeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration; the data we collected did not seem to fit into this. The potato chips were suppose to lose more mass in the higher concentrated solution as the water from the potato chip will flow out to the higher concentrated solution as the water inside

    Osmosis Lab Introduction: In order for cells to interact with their environment‚ molecules must be able to move through the cell membrane. Movement within the cell occurs by diffusion. Molecules move through the cell membrane by osmosis. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. This happens because of random molecular motion. Molecules move around randomly until there is an even mixture throughout cell and mixture. The overall

    concentrations on the activity of osmosis in plant tissue. Background scientific theory: Plants exchange gases (CO2 and O2) in maintaining vital respiratory processes and in carrying out photosynthesis; they absorb certain minerals and sugars so to use as a source of energy and eradicate wastes in order to maintain specific requirements for survival. Large amounts of water are absorbed by root hairs and are then distributed across the cells of plants by the process of osmosis; water being essential to

    Diffusion and Osmosis Introduction Tonicity refers to the concentration of solutes in a solution (Lab 6-7). There are three stages of tonicity: Isotonic‚ hypertonic and hypotonic. Four unknown solutions were given and labeled as followed: Solution A‚ Solution B‚ Solution C‚ and Solution D. Since potato cells were used for this type of experiment‚ in an Isotonic solution the solute and water concentration are the same as inside the cell in which the isotonic solution contains 0.9% NaCl. In other

    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

    In this experiment I am going to investigate the effect of varying concentration of a differing glucose solution on the amount of osmotic activity‚ between the solution and a potato tuber of a given size. The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate how living cells rely on osmosis‚ the diffusion of water.   Osmosis is the movement of water molecules (H20) from a region in which they are highly concentrated to a region in which they are less concentrated. This movement must take place across

    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

    If the pH level of the solution is more basic‚ then the potato membrane will 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
