Membrane Functions: Aim: To demonstrate the process of osmosis using a chicken’s egg Hypothesis: I predict that the egg’s mass after 10 min. in the 5% salt solution would increase due to and balancing out the solution. In the 10% salt solution‚ the egg’s mass would decrease since there is a high amount of salt. In the dilute water solution‚ the egg’s mass will increase‚ as the membrane would take in that water. Materials: 1- One fresh egg 2- One plastic spoon 3- One plastic fork

Pour the solutions into the drain and throw away the cups Clean up. Data/Observations: Pre - Lab questions: What is the cell (plasma) membrane made of? The Plasma membrane is made of a semi-permeable bilayer of phospholipids embedded with proteins. What are two jobs of the membrane? On of the job plasma membrane is to act as a molecular gatekeeper

How does the relationship between salt concentration effect osmosis in the aquatic plant Elodea? Quantitative data From observing the cells under a microscope‚ we see that they are continuously moving and therefore are alive. We have observed that when the cells are in the 10% sodium chloride‚ the chloroplasts are positioned to the sides of the cell wall and the cytoplasm is more expanded. Cells in the distilled water are slightly smaller than the cells in the sodium chloride solution and

Results The objectives of this experiment were to investigate diffusion of molecules across a membrane and the factors that affect the rate of diffusion. The hemolysis time of sheep erythrocytes was measured for each of eight different nonelectrolyte solutions by eleven groups in BI 108 Section D2. These eight nonelectrolytes were urea‚ thiourea‚ methanol‚ ethanol‚ propanol‚ ethylene glycol‚ diethylene glycol‚ and triethylene glycol‚ and the mean hemolysis times can be seen below in Figure 1.

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

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

IB HL BIOLOGY Dialysis Lab: Exploring Osmosis and Diffusion Through A Membrane Introduction: Dialysis is the flow of certain solutes through a semi permeable membrane. Dialysis is usually used on patients with failing kidneys to clinically purify blood in their kidneys‚ or other regions of their bodies. The dialysate contains waste matter that flows from the blood our of the dialysis tubing. Question/aim of lab: To test the solutions inside and outside the dialysis tubing with Benedict’s

Before one can begin the lab‚ he/she must make a prediction about what gene the trait one are analyzing is on. The trait can either be sex-linked‚ or autosomal. To begin the lab‚ one must acquire a sample of flies to cross. These flies should be placed in a tube with an easily removable foam stopper. Use the flynap to knock out the fruit flies‚ and pour them out of the tube into a petri dish. Then place the petri dish on a stereomicroscope‚ and begin using a paintbrush to sort the flies by gender
