consideration osmosis‚ and my knowledge about it‚ my prediction is that as the molarity of the solution under which the cells are exposed will increase‚ also the amount of plasmolysed cells‚ counted from amount of undamaged cells taken into account‚ will also increase. Hence‚ theoretically‚ the amount of plasmolysed cells in distilled water should be 0‚ while at 1mol solution‚ all of the relevant cells should be plasmolysed. This is so‚ because plasmolisys occurs due to loss of water through osmosis‚ which

The two variables that affect the rate of diffusion are: A. The size of the molecule. The larger molecule will diffuse more slowly than the smaller molecule. B. The nature of plasma membrane. If the membrane is composed of lipid portion.‚ only lipid soluble molecules can pass through while water molecules

Aim To investigate the effects of increasing salinity on potato cell mass. Background Information This experiment is based upon osmosis. Osmosis can be defined as the net movement of water molecules from a region with high concentration to a region with low concentration. This movement must take place across a partially permeable membrane such as a cell wall‚ which lets smaller molecules such as water through but does not allow bigger molecules to pass through. This process will take place until

Exploration Research Question What is the effect of different concentrations of sucrose in a solution on the mass and surface area of a beetroot (Beta Vulgaris) piece? Background The membrane consists of a phospholipid bilayer which is semi permeable. Osmosis is the passive movement of water molecules from an area of high water potential to an area of low water potential across a semi-permeable membrane. It is easy for water molecules to pass through this membrane however solutes that are big in size may

Introduction: 1. The purpose of doing this lab was to recognize the effects that salt‚ in different strengths‚ has on cells. 2. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules
Premium Osmosis Water Diffusion
The purpose of this lab was to observe how molarity concentration affects diffusion.The lab was primarily based on osmosis and diffusion. Diffusion is when the movement of molecules from a high concentration that go to a low concentration to a high concentration to eventually reach an equilibrium. Osmosis is when water will diffuse from high water concentration to low water concentration to reach equilibrium. When the solutions are different the lower concentration solute is hypotonic while the higher

brief short time‚ the final results showed that the more water the potatoes were placed in‚ the more hypotonic the potato becomes. Tonicity is stated to be the state of a solution in respect of osmotic pressure. Types of tonicity used in this lab are osmosis and diffusion. In a way these two solutions are somewhat similar but differ in the way that diffusion refers to the movement of any chemical from one place to another‚

Purpose: To see the effects of tonicity’s on potato cells. Background: Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a differentially permeable membrane due to concentration differences. Tonicity is the concentration of solutes. The potato cell has 3% of dissolved materials. Hypertonic is when the solution has more dissolved materials outside the cell than inside. The cell will lose water this way and shrink. The potatoes in the 5% salt solution will shrink. Hypotonic is when there is less solute dissolved
