Problem question: When a Shell - less egg is placed into a beaker of corn syrup‚ will there be any water going into or out of the egg and if the shell - less egg is placed in a beaker of distilled water will be any net flow of water going into or out of the egg. Hypothesis: If a shell - less egg is placed into a beaker of corn syrup solution‚ then there will be a net flow of water going into the egg because the water molecules will be small enough to pass through the membrane of the egg. If

you be able to observe any diffusion?NO there is no diffusion taking place. 12. Does being unable to observe diffusion necessarily mean that diffusion is not taking place? yes you should be able to tell when equilibrium is reached Osmosis Activity 4: Osmosis 13. Did you observe any pressure changes during the experiment? If so‚ in which beaker(s)‚ and with which membranes? Yes in the left beaker at the membrane 20. 14. Why? 15. Did the Na+/Cl- diffuse from the left beaker to the right

Osmosis is similar to simple diffusion in that both processes are passive‚ allowing molecules to diffuse through a membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration without the input of energy; however it differs from simple diffusion in that during osmosis‚ water is the molecule being diffused‚ and is typically the solvent while in simple diffusion solute molecules

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

the water and sucrose‚ osmosis can no longer take place. Osmosis can only occur when water is traveling from a higher concentrated area to a lower concentrated area. Hydrostatic pressure occurs when the bag reaches maximum capacity. Water will enter the bag through osmosis but get pushed out through hydrostatic pressure. This works in a cycle and prevents the bag from obtaining more volume and mass. 1b. The curves for the 40% and 20% sucrose differ in the rate of osmosis because of their concentration

Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to test the effects of osmosis on eggs in hypertonic solutions and hypotonic solutions. Hypothesis: If the corn syrup is a hypertonic solution‚ then the egg’s size will shrink. If the water is a hypotonic solution‚ then the egg will swell. Materials: Styrofoam cups (2 per group) Styrofoam cups to weigh down egg (2) Balance Paper towels Vinegar (enough to cover egg) Distilled water Corn syrup Fresh eggs (2 per group) Procedure: Day

balance and internal salt for several different reasons such as‚ compensating for water loss‚ avoiding excess water gain‚ and maintaining a proper osmotic concentration of the body fluids (Saladin‚ 2010). This process is derived from osmosis‚ however is much more complex. Osmosis is the diffusion of water down its cavity gradient through a semipermeable membrane. The aim of the experiment was to determine whether P. lurca (Phylum Sipuncula) was an osmoconformer and U. coarctata‚ a fiddler crab (Phylum
