    Egg-speriment Write-up Part 1- Purpose: Why did we do the experiment? The purpose of this experiment was to understand how osmosis works and that the cell membrane is selectively permeable. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane. Many cells cannot function without adequate water‚ so cells depend on osmosis. When a cell is selectively permeable‚ it means some substances can pass through while others can’t. Many examples of these were shown throughout

    OBJECTIVE: To describe the effect of water gain or loss in animal and plant cells. INTRODUCTION: Osmosis is the tendency of water to flow from a hypotonic solution (low concertration of dissolved substances) to hypertonic solution ( higher concerntration of dissolved substances) across a semipermeable membrane. Osmosis occurs when different concentrations of water are separated by a differentially permeable membrane. One example of a differentially permeable membrane

    Membrane Transport Objectives ► Referring to energy‚ what two ways can substances enter a cell? What is active transport? What is passive transport? How is osmosis related to diffusion? How can we demonstrate active transport? How can we demonstrate Brownian movement? How can we demonstrate diffusion (2 ways)? How can we demonstrate osmosis (3 ways)? In terms of relationships between substances‚ how can we define “hypertonic”‚ “isotonic”‚ and “hypotonic”? What is the relationship between the size

    permeable membranes that allow only certain solutions to pass through them. Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion that allows water to go through semi-permeable membranes of high water potential to a region of lower water potential. Water potential measures the tendency of water to leave one place and into another. Diffusion and osmosis is responsible for the movement of molecules in and out of cells. Diffusion and osmosis can be shown using dialysis tubing which is a membrane that is made of regenerated

    water in and out of a cell by osmosis Prediction I predict that by increasing the water potential around the outside of the potato cell‚ (i.e. so that the water potential is greater outside the cell compared to the inside of the cell e.g. 0m sucrose) that the net movement of water into the cell will increase. This is due to the water potential being greater outside the cell compared to the inside of the cell‚ therefore water will diffuse into the cell by a process of osmosis. The opposite however will

    Microbiology Osmosis Lab Report Lab Experiment 9 Osmosis Introduction Kinetic energy is present in cells and its this energy that causes the cells to move. Diffusion causes cells to move from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Osmosis is a diffusion that allows movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane. Osmosis occurs until it reaches equilibrium‚ or when the concentration on each side is the same. This is called an isotonic solution. A solution with differing

    Osmosis in Potato Cells Interpretation My results show what I predicted would happen. My prediction was that as the concentration of sucrose increased the amount of water moving in or out of the potato would change. A low concentration of sucrose solution would make the potato increase in length and mass (become turgid). A high concentration of sucrose solution would make the potato shrink (plasmolysed) We can see this occurred‚ as at 0.1mol of sucrose solution the potato’s size increased by an

    potato is very high because this experiment exactly showed what happened when there is Osmosis present and the following information will prove it. Our results greatly showed that there has been osmosis present. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a partially permeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration. And the results we got shows that osmosis occurred in this experiment. In 0.0 mols of sucrose the mass of potato has increased so

    a few types of diffusion. Three (3) of those are: Facilitated Diffusion- refers to diffusion of substances across a cell membrane with the help of transport protein. Dialysis- refers to the diffusion of solutes across a semipermeable membrane. Osmosis- refers to the diffusion of the solvent across semipermeable membrane. The concept of diffusion is widely used in physics (particle diffusion)‚ chemistry‚ biology‚ sociology‚ economics‚ and finance (diffusion of people‚ ideas and of price values)
