freezing‚ this may have slowed the diffusion process because the molecules may have been moving slower. Part B: Title: The effect of salt concentration on osmosis in potato. Introduction: 1. The purpose of doing this lab is to observe the effects of various solute concentrations on osmosis in a potato. 2. During osmosis‚ water moves from the side of the membrane where they are most concentrated to the side where they are less concentrated. If the concentration is equal on both

Investigating the Osmosis Effect in Potato Cores Aim The aim of this experiment is to investigate the osmosis effect in potato cores while they are submerged in different concentrations of sucrose solution. Osmosis will take place while the potatoes are fully submerged in the sucrose solution. Apparatus æ Scalpel (1) æ Tile (1) æ Pr.

Introduction: The objective of this experiment is to demonstrate osmosis by using an egg as a model. In order for this to happen the vinegar will make the eggs shell disappears. The reason for this is because vinegar has acetic acid and the shell has calcium carbonate‚ when these come into contact it produces carbon dioxide. This is the reasoning for the little bubbles when the egg is first put into the vinegar. After the shell discinigrates it will become rubbery from the acetic acid‚ at this

Martina Oganesyan Title of investigation: The effect of solute concentration on osmosis in potatoes. Research question: What is the solute concentration of a potato? Hypothesis: Osmosis is the movement of water across the membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. The osmosis continues until the solute concentrations are equal in both areas. In this experiment‚ we put pieces of potatoes into test tubes with sugar solutions of different concentrations and leave

Tiffany Parker Mr. Taylor Biology 6th period 2/12/15 Gummy Bear Osmosis Lab Report Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to measure the amount of Osmosis in different types of solutions and to see how a cell would react in different types of solutions. Hypothesis: My hypothesis for this experiment is that the Gummy bear will absorb more of the plain tap and sugar water and the salt water will shrink the gummy Procedure: Materials- 3 clear cups‚ one spoon‚ 3 gummy bears‚ timer‚ tap water‚ salt‚ sugar

Title: The effect of temperature on beet cell membranes. Introduction: 1. Eukaryotic cells are much more intricate than prokaryotic cells. The first thing observed is the assortment of structures in the cytoplasm. The fluid filled region between the nucleus and the plasma membrane. These structures along with the nucleus are the organelles‚ each having a specific function in the cell. The organelles are by membranes divided in proficient sections .The plant cell is made up of a rigid thick wall

Determining the Rate of Osmosis through a Semi-Permeable Membrane Schneider‚ Justin* Sec 16 and Thomas Hudson Introduction Water is the principle solvent in cells. There are three conditions that a cell may be subjected to in the cells physical environment. The cells may be isotonic‚ hypotonic‚ and hypertonic. Isotonic is when the cell and is environment have equal concentrations of solutes. Therefore cells in an isotonic solution do not experience osmosis. When the cell is hypotonic it

Experiment for the measurement of carbon dioxide and oxygen concentrations and their functions during the act of breathing. Introduction: Humans‚ like all living organisms need‚ O2 in order to live‚ they take the necessary O2 from the atmospheric air. The O2 is transferred from the blood to all cells of the body and serves for oxidation of nutrients for example glucose. By oxidize the nutrients released energy‚ which is necessary for the functions of the human body. During oxidation produces

VII. Conclusion The hypothesis that if a potato is placed in a tube with different sucrose concentrations then the tube with the lowest concentration of sucrose will expand the potato the most because the water will move into the potato to even out the concentration levels of the sucrose/ water ratio inside and outside of the potato was supported by the data. The data shows that the potato submerged in the lowest concentration of the sucrose water solution had the greatest percent change in mass

An investigation how sugar solutions of different concentrations affect osmosis. Research Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a partially permeable membrane from a dilute solution to one of a higher concentration. If a solution has a low concentration then the amount of (in the case of my investigation) sugar‚ the solute‚ will be low and the solution will be weak. If there is high amount of sugar then the solution will be concentrated (have a high concentration). When two solutions
