3. Explain the similarities and differences between diffusion and osmosis. Both are the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. But osmosis is the movement of water through a cell membrane. 4. Define Turgor pressure ( also known as osmotic pressure). The pressure that would have to be applied to a pure solvent to prevent it from passing into a given solution by osmosis‚ often used to express the concentration of the solution 5. What

of this can be observed by opening a bottle of perfume. Soon you will smell the perfume in distant parts of the room. It diffuses from the high concentration of molecules in the bottle to a lower concentration of molecules in the air. Osmosis is a type of diffusion. It involves movement of water through a differentially permeable membrane from a region of high concentration (of water molecules) to a region of lower concentration (of water molecules). We define 3 types of solutions

Abstract I found that this experiment gives me an understanding on how osmosis and diffusion works. In its simplicity‚ it explains the process that our bodies (mainly cells) use all the time. It also showed me that even with the temperature changing‚ it doesn’t drastically change the rate of diffusion. Introduction Diffusion is important in all living systems. Osmosis is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane to a region of low water

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

though the stomates open to release water‚ it also brings in carbon dioxide to produce sugar and oxygen through a process of photosynthesis. The water absorbed by the roots is moved by osmosis‚ root pressure‚ adhesion‚ and cohesion from high to low areas of water potential. From the roots‚ water is transported with osmosis with a pressure pulling the water and minerals up towards the leaves. It is the transpirational pull moving it up with the help of cohesion and adhesion. Transpiration decreases the

membrane traffic in lab‚ explain the differences between the solutions hypertonic‚ hypotonic‚ and isotonic and how they respond using the understanding of the cell membrane structure‚ types of transport mechanisms such as active‚ passive‚ diffusion‚ osmosis‚ and explain the movement of particles moving across the cell membrane. In this lab was divided into two parts. The first part was varying the concentration and the second part was varying the temperature. All cells are controlled by a cell membrane

as in the left‚ would you be able to observe any diffusion? No they would be equal Does being unable to observe diffusion necessarily mean that diffusion is not taking place? No the rate of diffusion may be either very rapid or gradual. 4th : Osmosis Did you observe any pressure changes during this experiment ? if so in which beakers and which membranes? I did not notice any pressure changes. Why? Both of the pressures in the beakers were not equal. Did the Na/Cl diffuse from the left beaker
