In order to begin the experiment‚ culture vials for the flies were created. After wearing the proper safety gear‚ including but not limited to gloves and a lab coat‚ the fly food source was made using roughly an equal amount of distilled water and fly food. These were mixed until it had a mashed potato-like consistency. It mustn’t be too liquid-like as it will kill the flies; and should be solid enough to not slide around the vial. After obtaining and labelling a new vial‚ the food mash was placed

The purpose of the lab was to investigate osmosis‚ which was successfully achieved because there was a change in the potato’s mass which was due to the net movement of water either into the potato cells or out of the potato cells. In the 0.400M solution‚ the potato decreased in mass‚ this was due to the reason that the solution was hypertonic. There was a higher concentration of solute and lower concentration of water in the solution than there was in the potato cells. This led the water to travel
Premium Concentration Diffusion Solution
Diffusion and osmosis are processes that are a constant in our lives‚ even though many don’t realize it. Medicaments such as Fervex can be drunk only after diffusion has taken place and the powder granules have diffused into the hot cup of water. On the other hand‚ every day we become unintentional witnesses of osmosis when the roots of the plants try to suck up the water from the soil (1). The purpose of this lab is to show clearly in an understandable way how diffusion and osmosis happen and to

with the hypothesis and prove that as the concentration of NaCl in the solution increases‚ the transmittance should decrease‚ as more cells will shrink with the increasing hypertonicity of the solution. Using the results of this experiment‚ future labs can narrow in on the exact range of NaCl concentration where the solution is isotonic with respect to the blood. This research can further be applied to determine the proper range for solutions which are injected into the bloodstream to decrease the

Osmosis Lab Report Hypothesis: Osmosis will occur when there is an uneven distribution of solute in a solvent. The higher the solute in solvent‚ then there will be a higher rate of osmosis through the diffusion gradient forming a hypertonic or hypotonic solution. Solvent with equal or no solute forms an isotonic solution. Materials: Distilled water‚ sucrose‚ dialysis tubing‚ string‚ 250 ml beaker. Procedure: To demonstrate and isotonic solution we needed 3 inches of dialysis tubing. We

AP Biology Lab 1 Ross Lordo Introduction Questions 1. The solute potential would be -2.48. If the concentration inside the cell is .15 M‚ then would diffusion out of the cell and into the solution of .1 M. This is due to water potential and the tendency for water to move from areas of high water potential to low water potential. 2. The turgor pressure must be equal to the water potential if there is no net diffusion. The cell and environment have reached equilibrium and the movement of water

transport of materials in three semi-permeable membranes: dialysis tubing‚ eggs‚ and onion cells. Background Information 1. Diffusion is the movement of solutes from high to low concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water from low to high concentration. Both refer to movement in/out of a cell‚ but osmosis refers specifically to water. 2. Isotonic‚ hypertonic‚ and hypotonic all refer to the comparison of concentrations of solutes in verses out of the cell. Isotonic is when the concentration in

NAME: Donna Ha TITLE: Measuring the Rate of Osmosis Using “De-shelled” Chicken Eggs INTRODUCTION: In order to fully understand the concept of this experiment‚ one must first be introduced to diffusion. Diffusion is a spontaneous process by which molecule particles move from one area that is highly concentrated to another area in which its concentration is lower. Cells contain fluids and are surrounded by fluids; in order for a cell to function it is required to be in a balanced state. The

Lab 5: Osmosis Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to familiarize you with osmosis and‚ specifically‚ what happens to cells when they are exposed to solutions of differing tonicities. Hypothesis: If we add higher concentrations of sugar to the dialysis tubing‚ then the net movement of coffee into the dialysis tubing will increase.
