    Introduction: Osmosis is the diffusion of water from a higher concentration to a lower one through a semi-permeable membrane and occurs in the cells of organisms. It is affected by the addition of solute which would lower the water potential‚ making water potential and solute concentration inversely related. The concept of osmosis loosely described is that the presence of more solute outside the cell means the presence of less solvent (or water molecules in this case) and vice versa; the goal of osmosis is

    molecules spread faster and faster. The opposite would be true of colder temperatures. 3. Considering the osmosis lab‚ explain the relationship between fluid volume and osmotic pressure. Answer: Osmotic pressure is the measure of the tendency for osmotic flow to occur. Osmotic flow is from a solvent to a solution. This is the amount of pressure that needs to be applied from the outside to prevent osmosis. Fluid volume might be connected to osmotic pressure as the amount of pressure required to contain

The glass tubing must be dry before experimentation to easily see the white ring inside. 2. What are the possible sources of error? • If the cork is not properly placed. • The tubing wasn’t dry before the experiment. • Human error in measuring the distance at both sides. • Wrong computation.

    Biology Essay Amanda Liao 09/05/13 Clean Water In today’s world‚ one of the most basic problems facing our society is the absence of clean water that we use and drink in daily life. The importance of clean water is self-explanatory. In spite of the fact that 70% of the earth’s surface is covered by water‚ there is only 2.53%of fresh water that we can actually use. For the only 2.53% of fresh water‚ some is not safe and clean to use and it is harmful to human body. Polluted water is a big risk to

    OSMOSIS Aim To determine the water potential of potato tuber cells. Background knowledge Osmosis is defined as the movement of water molecules from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential through a partially permeable membrane. Osmosis is considered in terms of water potential and solute potential. Water potential is a measure of the kinetic energy of water molecules. Here‚ water molecules are constantly moving in a random fashion. Some of them collides with cell

    transport in which it does not have need of an active role for the membrane. Osmosis and dialysis are also occasionally called passive transports because they too do not require an active role for the membrane. Osmosis is movement of water across a semipermeable membrane of low concentration to a solution of high concentration. On the other hand diffusion is movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration. Osmosis is a form of diffusion but a distinction would be that it deals essentially

    In the humus lab were were trying to find out if hydrogen peroxide would cause a reaction and show us the amount of humus in the soil by putting gas into a graduated cylinder with water to make the water level lower therefore showing us how much humus the material being tested contained. It showed that the sand was lacking humus but the mushroom compost was the most rich in humus. My hypothesis was correct because I predicted that the mushroom compost would produce the greatest amount of humus out
