    Investigating the water potential of a potato Aim Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of high water concentration to a low water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. Our aim is to investigate the water potential of a potato through osmosis‚ by finding the difference in weight before and after the potato has been set in a solution of water‚ sugar or salt. Trial Method Firstly we collected the equipment. This included a scalpel‚ potato cutter‚ and test tubes. Then

    molecules Polar molecules Ions Match each organism with the strategy it uses to maintain osmotic balance. Oak tree Surround the cells with a rigid wall that can withstand the pressure that builds up inside the cells dues to the inflow of water by osmosis. Paramecium Use contractile vacuoles to actively pump water out of the cells. Humans Surround the cells with an isotonic extracellular fluid. If 2 solutions have unequal concentrations of solutes‚ the solution with the higher solute concentration

    Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Because of the selective permeability of the membrane only water and other very small particles (iodine) can be diffused through simple diffusion. The solution out of the dialysis tubing had a higher distelled iodine concentration of solutes (iodine + H2O) than did the starch solution. So iodine move into the cell and react with starch molecules to formed starchiodine‚ the blue compound

    Using Sucrose Solutions to Determine Osmolarity of Potato Tubers Based on Weight By Thomas Pelikan Biology 200A Section 004 Kimberly Schmidt October 2‚ 2012 Abstract: In this experiment we were trying to determine the osmolarity of potato tubers by weighing them before and after incubating them in solutions of sucrose with varying molarities. To find the osmolarity we took a potato and used a cork borer to obtain seven samples of potato tubers. We then prepared seven beakers with concentrations

    Review Sheet 1 Results 1. Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. Your answer: Two variables that affect the rate of diffusion are the MWCO membrane and the solute concentration. Increasing the membrane size and solute concentration will also increase the average diffusion rate. Decreasing the membrane size and solute concentration will reduce diffusion rates and can even prevent all diffusion. 2. Why do you think the urea was not able to diffuse through the 20 MWCO membrane

    things move from a higher concentration to a lower concentration‚ it is known as diffusion. As long as diffusion is permitted to go on‚ equilibrium will be reached. Equilibrium is when two areas have reached equal concentration levels. The egg in this lab will have water and substances diffusing though it in and out. The direction‚ in which things diffuse‚ depends on the type of solution the egg is placed in. A hypertonic solution isa solution that is outside the cell and it has lower free water molecule

    Solution A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances with each substance retaining its own chemical identity. Solute – substance being dissolved. Solvent – liquid water. General Properties of a Solution 1. Contains 2 or more components. 2. Has variable composition. 3. Properties change as the ratio of solute to solvent is changed. 4. Dissolved solutes are present as individual particles. 5. Solutes remain uniformly distributed and will not settle out with time. 6. Solute

    Aim The aim is to find the concentration (mole/dm3 (M)) of solute in a potato cell by using the process of osmosis and different concentrations of sucrose solution. Background information Osmosis is diffusion of water across a partially permeable membrane. It moves from a solution with less solute concentration (high water potential) to a solution with more solute concentration (low water potential). The one with a high water concentration is called a hypotonic solution and the low water concentration
