INTRODUCTION: Osmosis is defined as the net movement of water or any other solutions molecules from a region in which they are highly concentrated to a region in which they are less concentrated. 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. The molecules will continue to diffuse until the area in which the molecules are found reaches a state of equilibrium

Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration‚ to an area of low concentration. So‚ Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area where there are lots of water molecules to an area where there are few water molecules. Our aim is to find the concentration of dissolved substances in the cells of a potato using Osmosis. I predict that the potato in the higher concentration of salt

Investigate osmosis between potato tissue and sugar solutions. Aim: To investigate the effect of varying concentration of a certain sugar solution on the amount of osmotic activity between the solution and a potato core of a given size 10mm Hypothesis: Osmosis is defined as the net movement of water or any other solutions molecules from a region in which they are highly concentrated to a region in which they are less concentrated. This movement must take place across a partially permeable

rate of respiration. I am going to change the concentration of the glucose solution and I’m going to measure the volume of gas produced during respiration in cm³. Yeast contains enzymes. Enzymes speed up a chemical reaction – they’re biological catalysts. Yeast can respire both aerobically and anaerobic; the anaerobic respiration of yeast is known as fermentation. The equation for this type of respiration in yeast is: Glucose Carbon Dioxide + Ethanol The presence of ethanol means that yeast

In this lab‚ there was a comparison between accuracy and precision of densities measured by volume. Mass measurements are often used units in the metric system. Volume can be examined a borrowed unit. The volume measurements were made in mL. Every measurement had a level of hesitancy affiliated with it. The experiment could feel uncertain from the object used for measurement and from the accuracy of the person doing the measuring of the volume. Because of this uncertainty‚ the experiment must be

Simple organic compounds and macromolecules molecules vary in structure and can be distinguished by their functional groups. Molecules of a certain

Discussion: Osmosis is a passive process by which water molecules move through a partially permeable membrane from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration‚ creating an equal amount of molecules from both regions on each side of the membrane. This process is the result of a downhill energy system known as water potential. Water potential is the potential energy of water (per unit volume) that allows it to move from one area to another by osmosis. This system causes the water
Premium Cell Osmosis Cell wall
The cell‚ which is the smallest unit of life‚ is surrounded by a plasma membrane. The plasma membrane functions somewhat like a wall‚ as it keeps the internal contents from the external environment. Just like a wall‚ the membrane is also somewhat permeable‚ except that the membrane takes a much more active role in determining what is allowed in to the cell and what is kept out. The plasma membrane is a very thin structure‚ which has some very important tasks. One of the main tasks that it performs
