Stacy Hernandez Period 1 Mrs. Riley AP Biology Osmosis and Diffusion Lab I. Introduction: Diffusion is vital to many life functions of a cell‚ it allow the transportation of vitally important nutrients and compounds without the expenditure of excess metabolic energy. To explain diffusion‚ it is as if a bottle of perfume is opened at one end of the room‚ then in a short amount of time a person at the other end of the room can detect the scent of the perfume; this is the process of diffusion

surface area to volume ratio and solute concentration on osmosis.] | The aim of this experiment was to test the effect of surface area on osmosis and the effect of solute concentration on osmosis. To test this aim to hypotheses were devised. 1) If potato pieces are immersed in various salt solutions‚ then the pieces with the greatest surface area to volume ratio will experience the greatest weight change‚ because more water can move by osmosis across the potato cell’s semi permeable membrane. 2) If

The effect of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) salt concentration on osmosis in potato cells The movement of substances in plant cells involves many processes and systems‚ all of which may affect the plant bio-chemically and physically‚ and one of these processes is osmosis. Osmosis is the flow of water through a semi-permeable membrane of a cell moving from an area of higher water potential to an area of lower water potential until reaching equilibrium known as isotonic. Before reaching the point of being

transport in which it does not have need of an active role for the membrane. Osmosis and dialysis are also occasionally called passive transports because they too do not require an active role for the membrane. Osmosis is movement of water across a semipermeable membrane of low concentration to a solution of high concentration. On the other hand diffusion is movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration. Osmosis is a form of diffusion but a distinction would be that it deals essentially

air. However there is a specialized type of diffusion called Osmosis. This is when water molecules moves from a region of high concentration of water to a region of low concentration of water thru a semi-permeable membrane. Osmosis will only occur thru a semi-permeable membrane (that is a membrane which selectively allows passage of certain types of molecules through it while restricting the movement of others) Examples of Osmosis includes a) The absorption of water by plants roots to maintain

Solutions Offered by Rochem in Various Platforms 1. Reverse Osmosis: It is one of the most widely used technologies to treat industrial waste water. It has been commonly used to remove salts and various other impurities so as to improve the parameters such as pH‚ biological oxygen demand‚ chemical oxygen demand. This technology is already on the rise because of its efficacy and cost efficiency. Reverse Osmosis is a phenomenon wherein water is separated from a solution of dissolved solids by the

This is because inside the egg has a lower concentration of water than outside the egg. Since osmosis is based around mainly water and substances with extremely low acidity‚ we decided to use plain water
