................................................ Aim: The aim of the experiment that was carried out was to see‚ at what temperature and in which standard solution‚ does the amount of dye left in the boiling tube had the highest percentage transmission. Beetroot was used for the experiment because it was easier to see the dye after the practical was completed. Putting beetroot cylinders into different boiling tubes‚ which contained three different standard solutions of Ethanol‚ they were left

9/17/2013‚ Lois Andersen & Claire Ma “The Power of Osmosis” The purpose of the lab was to discover‚ through osmosis‚ the concentration of sugar water in a potato. First‚ potatoes were cut into strips about 3 centimetres in length and six strips were individually massed. Next‚ the six strips were placed in 6 different Dixie cups‚ labelled A‚ B‚ Q‚ X‚ Y‚ and Z. Each of the Dixie cups were then filled just enough to cover the potato strips‚ with substances that matched the letters of the cups

Lab Report on Osmosis and Diffusion Biology 1‚ Period 3 March 15‚ 2010 Lab Team: Jason Perez‚ Kicia Long‚ Chris McLemore Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to observe the acts of passive transport: diffusion and osmosis in a model membrane system. The experiment will show how molecules in solution move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. The model membrane is dialysis tubing. Materials Used 2.5 cm dialysis tubing 15% glucose

tubing and bend the glass tube into a U-shape. The glass tube is then filled with a liquid‚ typically mercury‚ so that all trapped air is removed from the sealed end of the tube. The glass tube is then positioned with the curved region at the bottom. The mercury settles to the bottom After the mercury settles to the bottom of the manometer‚ a vacuum is produced in the sealed tube. The open tube is connected to the system whose pressure is being measured. In the sealed tube‚ there is no gas to exert

level. The objective of this experiment is to study the characteristic of four different types of membrane. The membranes used in this experiment are polyamide film ( AFC 99 ) as membrane one ‚ polyamide film ( AFC 40 ) as membrane two ‚ cellulose acetate (CA 202 ) as the third membrane and PVDF (FP 100 ) that act as the fourth membrane. In order to identify the characteristic of all four membranes‚ experimental procedures should be done. The variable for this experiment is the membrane maximum inlet

The effects of osmosis on potatoes placed in different salt concentration Introduction: Osmosis is a movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane. This may only happen when there is a difference in concentration between the two sides of the membrane. The water moves from low concentrations to high concentrations. That is because the low concentrated area tries to dilute the opposite via osmosis. The effects osmosis has on a cell are either that it becomes turgid and hard as water enters

Abstract: Osmosis is the transport of water across a selectively permeable membrane from a region of a higher water chemical potential to a region of lower water chemical potential. (Tzahi 2006) To demonstrate osmosis lab‚ artificial cells were made with various sucrose concentrations and were placed into beakers of different sucrose solutions. Overall the results showed that the higher percentage of concentration gradient of sucrose‚ the more the artificial cells absorbed. Introduction: The

transport are endocytosis‚ exocytosis‚ and phagocytosis. Passive transport does not require energy it is powered by the concentration gradient of the molecule. Examples of passive transport are diffusion‚ facilitated diffusion‚ filtration‚ and osmosis. In our Osmosis Lab I used a Grade a large egg from the grocery store. Its circumference is 5 ½ inches it is smooth with no cracks. I carefully place the egg in a clear plastic cup and fill the cup with vinegar. I immediately notice bubbles covering the

Diffusion and Osmosis Diffusion -the process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentratiion‚ to areas of low concentration. When the molecules are even throughout a space - it is called EQUILIBRIUM DIFFUSION Concentration gradient - a difference between concentrations in a space. Molecules will always move down the concentration gradient‚ toward areas of lesser concentration. Think of food coloring that spreads out in a glass of water‚ or air freshener sprayed in a room
