    of Water Potential in a Root Vegetable Introduction Background Information: Osmosis is the passage of water from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential‚ down a water potential gradient through a semi-permeable membrane. If a plant cell‚ or an item with similar properties is put in water‚ three different things can happen: • If the surrounding area has a higher water potential‚ the cell will increase in mass through osmosis. The cell will become turgid

    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

    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

    http://thegrabup.com/?p=811 Significance Of Osmosis (700-1200) Osmosis is a process of movement of solvent through a semi permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration to equalize the concentration of solute to both side of the membrane. . Water is sometimes called "the perfect solvent‚" and living tissue (for example‚ a human being’s cell walls) is the best example of a semipermeable membrane. Osmosis process as demonstrated below shows that when

    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

    concentrated area to a low concentrated area. Water is one molecule that can diffuse freely in a cell. Other molecules need assistance through the cell membrane through a process called facilitated diffusion. Osmosis moves from an area of low concentration to high concentration. In osmosis water moves in the opposite way. Water flow is determined by the concentration‚ not the nature of the solute. There are a couple of things to consider for diffusion to work. The size of the cell‚ permeability
