solution from another by osmosis. The higher the osmotic pressure of a solution‚ the more water tends to move into it. Pressure must be exerted on the hypertonic side of a selectively permeable membrane to prevent diffusion of water by osmosis from the side containing pure water. Osmotic concentration refers to the measure of solute concentration‚ defined as the number of osmoles of solute per litre of solution. These particles must be osmotically active for the process of osmosis to take place. Keeping

3 1. The pressure will increase due to the increased concentration of sodium chloride. The pressure increased. 2. Neither one requires ATP. Simple diffusion is the movement of a solute from an area of HIGH to LOW solute concentration but osmosis is the movement of water from an area of LOW to High solute concentration. 3. Because water moves toward the HIGH concentration of solutes. 4. We know the pressure will increase in the albumin beaker because it is more impermeable than glucose

of this lab was to depicked the many properties of diffusion such as isotonic‚ hypotnonic‚ and hypertonic‚ so that students could have a clear visual example to go by for future refrences. We also did this to learn about selective permeability and osmosis. Our original hypothesis stated that the vinegar would react with the calcium in the shell to create CO2 bubbles. Note I said the original hypothesis as this experiment took coarse over a four day period‚ in which a new variable was added each day

molecular weight is‚ the faster the diffusion gets. The Starch did not pass through the membrane because it is composed of Polysaccharide made up of many Glucose molecules‚ which makes it heavier than one single Glucose molecule to pass through. Osmosis: We took three piece of potato and placed them in three beakers with the same quantity of water but with different concentrations‚ results are: Solution Result 0.9% NaClNothing happens H2O Hypotonic : Potato Swells 30% NaClHypertonic: Potato

Osmosis is the passive diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from a down a concentration gradient. The water potential of a system is the tendency for water to exit the system. In this experiment the aim was to measure the

POTENTIAL II OVERVIEW In this laboratory you will investigate the effect of solute concentration on water potential as it relates to living plant tissues. OBJECTIVES Before you begin this lab you should understand: - the mechanisms of diffusion and osmosis and their importance to cells - the concept of water potential - the relationship between solute concentration‚ pressure potential and the water potential of a solution - the concept of molarity and its relationship to osmotic concentration **also

will be able to freely cross the membrane and do not affect tonicity because they will always be in equal concentrations on both sides of the membrane. Also‚ water will flow from a hypotonic solution to hypertonic. 4- Explain the direction of osmosis and effects of tonicity (hypotonic‚ hypertonic‚ or isotonic) in plant and animal cells. Use lab results in your explanation. If a cell is placed in an isotonic solution‚ the cell will maintain its normal volume because no osmotic pressure is occurred

Activity 1: Stimulating Dialysis (Simple Diffusion) 1. Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. The two variables that affect the rate of diffusion are: • The composition of the lipid layer‚ this content varies from tissue to tissue. For example kidney tissues have a high cholesterol content which makes them impermeable to water. • The size of the molecule‚ the larger the molecule the slower the rate of diffusion. 2. Why do you think the urea was not able to diffuse

a dynamic structure which gives them their remarkable activity and selectivity. (Hickman‚ 2008). Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to a lower concentration until they reach Equilibrium. (Hickman‚ 2008).Osmosis happens when water diffuses across the membrane from the region of lower solute concentration (higher free water concentration) to that of higher solute concentration (lower free water concentration) until the solute concentrations on both sides of

Activity 3 Simulating Osmotic Pressure 1. Explain the effect that increasing the Na+Cl− concentration had on osmotic pressure and why it has this effect. How well did the results compare with your prediction? ___ ___ 2. Describe one way in which osmosis is similar to simple diffusion and one way in which it is different. ___ ___ 3. Solutes are sometimes measured in milliosmoles. Explain the statement‚ “Water chases milliosmoles.” ___ ___ 4. The conditions were 9 mM albumin in the left beaker
