    Diffusion and Osmosis Diffusion -the process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentratiion‚ to areas of low concentration. When the molecules are even throughout a space - it is called EQUILIBRIUM DIFFUSION Concentration gradient - a difference between concentrations in a space. Molecules will always move down the concentration gradient‚ toward areas of lesser concentration. Think of food coloring that spreads out in a glass of water‚ or air freshener sprayed in a room

    the substances that enter or leave the cell do so through diffusion. Osmosis‚ a type of diffusion‚ is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane. In osmosis‚ water diffuses across the area of lower solute concentration to that of higher solute concentration until the solute concentrations of the environment and the cell are equal. Tonicity‚ which is the ability of a solution to gain or lose water due to osmosis‚ results in an environment that is isotonic‚ hypertonic‚ or hypotonic

    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

    Osmosis in potato cells Aim: To view and examine the effect different concentrations of sucrose solution has on the movement of water across the cell membrane. Hypothesis: That the potatoes will either increase or decrease in mass‚ due to the effect of the different concentrations. Osmosis will occur. Apparatus: * Fresh potatoes * Apple corer * Scalpel * Petri dishes X 10 * 50ml measuring cylinder * Distilled water * Paper towelling * Sucrose solutions:

    exterior and regulate the movement of substances in and out of the cell. Diffusion is how substances more in and out of the cell. There are several types of diffusion‚ but for the purposes of this lab‚ we will be focused on simple and osmosis. Simple diffusion and osmosis are vital for the diffusion of water and maintaining homeostasis. Homeostasis is the ability to maintain equilibrium and keep the organism alive. For example‚ if a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution there is more water inside the

    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

    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
