    Osmosis in Plants Outline: To investigate the effect of varying concentration of a certain sugar solution on the amount of osmotic activity between the solution and a potato chip of a given size. Definition - Osmosis: Movement of a solvent (liquid) through a semi-permeable membrane separating solutions of different concentrations. The solvent passes from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution until the two concentrations are equal. All

    Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a partially permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration‚ in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.[1][2][3] It may also be used to describe a physical process in which any solvent moves‚ without input of energy‚[4] across a semipermeable membrane (permeable to the solvent‚ but not the solute) separating two solutions of different concentrations.[5] Although osmosis does

    different concentrations of glucose affect osmosis in potato cells. Osmosis is the passive process of diffusing water which means within this experiment particles of water will move from a lower concentrated area to an area of higher concentration ; in this case it will be a concentration of glucose. Diffusion is when particles move from an area of high concentration to low concentration ; for example when a smell of cooking spreads through the house. Osmosis is a vital mechanism in the transport of

    Investigation: A factor that affects the movement of water in and out of cells. Osmosis: movement of water from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential through a partially permeable membrane. High water potential = lots of free water molecules‚ low solute concentration Low water potential = very few free water molecules‚ high solute concentration Factors That Affect the Movement of Water in and out of Cells * Solute concentration * If one solution

    Osmosis Aim: To determine the concentration of cell sap in a potato cell. Osmosis is the movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane. It starts from a weak solution and becomes a more stronger solution until the concentrations on both sides are equal. To investigate the range of solutions needed to find the point at which the surrounding solution is the same as the cell sap in the vacuole.

    Diffusion And Osmosis Abstract In this Diffusion and Osmosis lab a total of three experiments were performed. For experiment 5.1 we investigate diffusion through a selectively permeable membrane and the many factors that influence the rates of diffusion. In experiment 5.2 we investigate both animal and plant cells in different molar solutions and the different osmotic behaviors within the cells. In experiment 5.3 we test the osmolarity of plant cells through the usage of potato tuber cells. In

    test and get the most accurate results. My prediction is half correct. In some cases it is correct because the concentration is higher and the mass of the potato is lower‚ but in other cases the mass of the potato gets higher‚ which I did not predict. For example‚ on the 1st experiment at 2 and 4 concentrations the mass of the potato goes up and the same happens on the 2nd experiment at the 6% concentration.
