    DIFFUSION AND OSMOSIS: WHAT’S TO EXPECT? Diffusion and osmosis are very important in biological process. Diffusion is the movement of molecules or ions from a region of their high concentration to a region of their low concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane. To gain a better understanding of diffusion and osmosis‚ we examine multiple experiments to show diffusion and osmosis in animal cell‚ plant cell and synthetic cell. In our first experiment

    12/11/15 Personal Engagement: Every Thanksgiving my aunt and grandma switch off making mashed potatoes and every year they use the same recipe. This year it was my aunt’s turn and when we went to eat the mashed potatoes they were super salty. After thanksgiving dinner that year I became interested in figuring out how the using the same recipes the outcome could be so different. Background Information: Osmosis is the of a solvent across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration

    Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration‚ to an area of low concentration. So‚ Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area where there are lots of water molecules to an area where there are few water molecules. Our aim is to find the concentration of dissolved substances in the cells of a potato using Osmosis. I predict that the potato in the higher concentration of salt

    Osmosis using potato cores and sucrose solution 1.0 Abstract This experiment’s ultimate goal is to find the water potential of the potato cell. This was achieved through placing potato cores in different concentrations of sucrose (0.2%‚ 0.4%‚ 0.6%‚ 0.8%‚ 1.0%‚ 2.0%‚ 3.0% and 4.0%) solution and to observe how much water was gained or lost through osmosis to reach a prediction of the concentration within the potato cell. The results displayed that the concentration of sucrose within the potato cell

    Effect of Osmosis on Potato Aim: To investigate the effect osmosis has on potato pieces that are placed in different concentrations of sugar solutions in water. Hypothesis: I believe that the more saturated the solution is the lighter the potato will be‚ and the potato in the clear water will weigh more after being left in the solution over a 24 hour period. This is because the cell membranes in the potato act as semi permeable membranes (meaning that they only allow certain molecules through)
