AP Biology Lab 1 Ross Lordo Introduction Questions 1. The solute potential would be -2.48. If the concentration inside the cell is .15 M‚ then would diffusion out of the cell and into the solution of .1 M. This is due to water potential and the tendency for water to move from areas of high water potential to low water potential. 2. The turgor pressure must be equal to the water potential if there is no net diffusion. The cell and environment have reached equilibrium and the movement of water

The Amazing Floating Egg By: Madison Johnson 9th grade biology Introduction: My name is Madison Johnson. I am in the 9th grade. I am in Mrs. Logan’s biology class. I am doing my project on “The Magic Floating Egg”. Eggs sink in normal tap water and I am testing whether or not changing the density of water will make the egg float. I was looking at projects on sciencebuddies.org and I saw that multiple people had done this. I am trying to prove that when you add a certain

Biology Lab #1: Chemical Diffusion Purpose To discover how the size of a cell affects the diffusion of chemicals throughout the cell. Hypothesis I predict that as the cell size increases the diffusion depth and the diffusion rate will decrease. Equipment • Eye protection • 250 mL beaker • Timing device • Scoopula • Ruler • Scalpel • Sodium hydroxide solution • 3 different sized cubes of phenolphthalein agar • Paper towels Purpose

Lab Report Diffusion is - One of two kinds of passive transport‚ - Diffusion can transport ions from higher concentration to lower concentration region without any other forces. - A net movement of molecules in and out of cell membrane - Diffusion can be affected by the steepness of the concentration gradient. Lab question: Is the rate of diffusion influenced by the presence of second molecule? Prediction: the rate of diffusion is influenced by the presence of second molecule

How Do Water and Other Molecules Enter and Leave Cells Rebecca Black April Clawson April Rutherford Kymberly Swope Biology 1224-Introduction to Biology for Majors Abstract Ann‚ April‚ Kymberly and Rebecca ran tests on decalcified eggs using different solutions to discover how water and other liquids enter and leave cells. The experiment consisted of soaking the eggs in varying solutions for five minutes‚ then draining them; recording their weight before and after each interval. The ladies hypothesized
Premium Osmosis Chemistry Cell membrane
Analysis During the experiment‚ a dialysis bag was used to mimic a cell membrane. Two ways why this model realistically represents a cell is because the dialysis bag is semi-permeable‚ like a cell. The bag was able to allow water in‚ as the size of the water molecule was small enough to be able to fit through the pores of the bag. Sucrose was not able to pass through as the molecules were too big to enter. This is similar to a cell because the size of a molecule can determine whether or not the

Introduction There are many different factors that can influence the rate of diffusion through a membrane. Chemical kinetics plays a large part in diffusion. In order for a solute to passively diffuse through a membrane‚ it must line up with a pore in the membrane and pass through it (textbook 101). The concentration gradient is also important for diffusion because solutes diffuse from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration (textbook page 101). There are different factors that

mosis Did you observe any pressure changes during this experiment? If so‚ in which beaker(s)‚ and with which membranes? In the L beaker with the 20 MWCO Membrane‚ the pressure went up. Why? Because no diffusion took place. Did the Na?/Cl? diffuse from the left beaker to the right beaker? If so‚ with which membrane(s)? Yes‚ 50‚ 100‚ and 200 MWCO Why? Because diffusion took place. Explain the relationship between solute concentration and osmotic pressure. They are directly proportional‚ if the
