    Introduction: In this lab i used glucose and starch to show if the cell membrane is permeable‚ impermeable‚ or selectively permeable to these substances. Dialysis tubing is a plastic like substance that has small pores in it. These pores allow certain chemicals to flow into and out of the cells. The size of the molecule determines what goes through the tubing. On of the materials that we will be using is glucose. glucose is a simple sugar that easily dissolves in water. To test for the presence of

    Diffusion continues until it reaches equilibrium. Osmosis is similar to Diffusion but it’s the process in which water moves across a semi-permeable membrane and goes to the higher concentration of solute.1 2.2. Important factors to Osmosis and Diffusion include Temperature‚ Concentration and Surface area to volume ratio. Temperature can affect the rate in which a solute dissolves in a solution‚ higher temperature faster rate of Osmosis. This is caused by the molecules movements being faster

    different sucrose concentrations (0.15‚ 0.20‚ 0.25‚ 0.30‚ 0.35 and 0.50). It was expected that the potatoes would lose weight as the potatoes would have lower water potential when placed in a solution ‚ and in this can be taken from the theory of osmosis which states that “the passive diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane down a concentration gradient” (Taylor and Bruenn‚ 2009)‚ moving water from a high to a low concentration‚ so in this case water would move from the

    Background: This lab involves the testing and measuring of water potential. Water potential (ψ) is the tendency of water to diffuse from one region to another. It measures the free energy available in water to do work. Pure water has a water potential of 0 (kpa--unit?). Water will move from an area of higher water potential to an area of lower water potential. Several factors‚ including temperature‚ pressure (ψp) and solute concentration (ψs) contribute to water potential. (citation-lab) The equation

    0.4M‚ 0.5M‚ 0.6M Design Research Question (Aim): The aim of this lab was to determine the point of incipient plasmolysis of onion (Allium cepa) cells using Sodium Chloride (NaCl) concentrations of 0.1M‚ 0.2M‚ 0.3M‚ 0.4M‚ 0.5M‚ 0.6M. Hypothesis: When the water concentration of a solution outside the cell is lower than the concentration inside the cell‚ water will move from the inside to the outside of the cell due to osmosis. As we increase the concentration of the NaCl solutions we have used
