    Lab One – Diffusion and Osmosis SECTION ONE: Methods Lab 1 – Diffusion and Osmosis can be broken down into four parts (A‚ B‚ C‚ and D). Lab 1A – Diffusion In this exercise‚ we tested diffusion through dialysis tubing. This was done through a demo with the teacher‚ rather than individually in groups. First‚ a piece of 2.5cm dialysis tubing was obtained. Then one end was folded and clipped securely so that a solution poured into the bag would not leak out. Next‚ the other side of the bag was

    present in a potato plant. Polymers are large molecules consisting of many repeating units‚ called monomers. Polymers can be made out of starch which is composed of long chains of glucose molecules. This study focuses mainly on making biodegradable plastics‚ which is certainly safer than non-biodegradable plastics‚ from potato starch. Biodegradable plastics made from raw materials are completely reusable and can be composted easily. Potato starch contains minimal protein and fat. Potato starch is a

    The results provide evidence that when there was an increase in the sodium chloride concentration the mass of the potato prisms declined. At the zero percent concentration there was an increase of mass by 1.75%‚ from there the 1%‚ 3%‚ 5% and 10% begun on a downward trend with the percentage change in mass declining. The graph was on a steady decline from 0% being the highest point with a change of mass of 1.75% finishing with the 10% solution on a decline of -12.28%. From observing the scatter plot

    Abstract: Osmosis is the transport of water across a selectively permeable membrane from a region of a higher water chemical potential to a region of lower water chemical potential. (Tzahi 2006) To demonstrate osmosis lab‚ artificial cells were made with various sucrose concentrations and were placed into beakers of different sucrose solutions. Overall the results showed that the higher percentage of concentration gradient of sucrose‚ the more the artificial cells absorbed. Introduction: The
