    Examining Diffusion and Osmosis Introduction: Purpose: 1. To simulate and observe the diffusion of solutes and the osmosis of water through a semipermeable membrane through color change and sugar tests. 2. To speculate osmosis occurring in dialysis bags and potato cores by comparing percentage change in masses. Background information: Molecules are always in random‚ constant movement due to their kinetic energy. This causes the molecules of a cell to move around and bump into each other

    The results that were collected in lab #1 shows the relationship of surface areand volume in the artificial cells to the diffusion rate using the phenolphthalein-NaOH agar and the HCl solution. Lab #2 was a model of diffusion and osmosis‚ in which we filled the model cells with different solutions and determined the rate of diffusion. In lab #3‚ the results demonstrated the interactions between selectively permeable membranes‚ water‚ and solutes and how they are important in cellular and organismal

    Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration across a semi permeable membrane. An osmotic system is established when a semi-permeable membrane is placed between two solutions. In this biological systems context‚ osmosis is the exchange of water between the potato cell and the surrounding medium of varying sucrose concentrated solutions‚ with the plasma membrane being the semi- permeable membrane. Because water molecules have kinetic energy‚ they

    Digital Balance used to measure the mass of the potato strip before and after osmosis. Time should be kept constant when the potato strip is put into the solution Hypothesis: The mass of the potato strip will increase in water and dilute concentrations of sucrose depending on the concentration within the cell. When the concentration of the sucrose solution outside the cells of the potato strip will be less‚ the mass of the solution will increase as water molecules from outside will diffuse into

    Fruit and Vegetable Supply Chain As the Indian population is increasing‚ the demand for fresh fruits and vegetables is also increasing. Owing to the perishable nature and very short shelf life‚ these items require storage and transportation facilities in order to reach to the customer in fresh state. This requires a considerable amount of effort from the involved parties. The entire chain is fraught with issues like lack of transparency in pricing (at the farmers’ end)‚ dominance of traders‚ weak

    Aim To observe and measure the effect of osmosis on the mass of potato using a starch solution. Introduction In order to measure the effect of osmosis‚ eighteen pieces of potato were cut and placed in six groups‚ each group of three pieces cut to weigh as close as possible to one another. For each potato group‚ a test tube was half filled with a starch solution varying in concentration from 0% (water) to 1%. Hypothesis Through osmosis‚ I hypothesise that as the solution of the starch in

    Introduction The reason of this experiment was to identify the properties and effects of osmosis. Osmosis can be defined as the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. (Miller/Levine) Osmosis occurs when there is an area of higher and lower concentration. Osmosis is a type of diffusion. Diffusion is when molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of higher concentration. The three types of concentrations are hypotonic‚ hypertonic‚ and isotonic. When in comparison
