    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

    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

    My objective is to plan and conduct an experiment from which I should be able to draw a firm conclusion that will either prove or disprove any predictions I make. This essay aims to assess and investigate the effect of various solution 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

    I. Research Question What are the effects of different sucrose concentrations on potato stripes which have been submerged in a range of solute sucrose concentrations. II. Background Information Osmosis is one of the four methods of moving particles across membranes along with simple diffusion‚ facilitated diffusion‚ and active transport. Water is able to move in and out of most cells freely. Sometimes the number of water molecules moving in and out is the same and there is no net movement‚ but at

    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

    when plant cells are incubated in OAS solution of known molarity. Estimated osmolarity of plant cells is the molarity of solution at which weight or volume of the plant cells does not change‚ means there is no net loss or gain of water. Introduction This study shares the results of an effort to understand diffusion and osmosis in general. It focused more into osmosis in plants cell‚ and how to indirectly measure osmolarity in potato tuber tissue. Osmosis is the diffusion specifically of water

    Experiment to Investigate Osmosis in Potatoes The aim of this experiment is to investigate the movement of water in and out of plant cells. The cells chosen for study will be taken from potato tubers. Firstly I will explain what osmosis is. Osmosis is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration. This definition contains three important statements: a) It is the passage of water through a semi permeable membrane

    was: 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

    Analysis The trend that my graph and results show is that when the potato was placed in a solution that had a higher concentration than the chip itself‚ the potato lost weight (0.4‚ 0.6‚ 0.8 and 1.0 molars). In the same way when the potato chip was placed in a solution that had a lower concentration than itself‚ the potato chip gained weight (0.0 and 0.2 molars). For my results I calculated the percentage gain/loss in weight using the following formulae: Average change in weight/weight at start
