salt concentration but for 10%‚ 15%‚ 20% and 30% it went down in mass. This shows the higher the concentration of salt the higher the drop in mass. This happened because the potato slices in the 0% and 5% salt concentration became turgid which means it had swollen and became hard. This occurred because of the process called osmosis in which plant cells take up water and they start to swell‚ but the cell wall prevents them from bursting. Evaluation In my opinion the experiment was very successful

Razelle Icaro- Resub Plants absorb water from the soil via osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration across a semi-permeable membrane until the concentration is equilibrium. There are usually more solvents in the water inside the plant which means there is a high concentration. Because of this‚ the water flows into the root hair cells from the soil. Watering plants with a saline solution (salty water) changes the osmotic

Labset Three Worksheet 1. What is a carbohydrate profile? Why are they used as a diagnostic or identifying tool? (2) Carbohydrate profiles are specific information on the type and amount of carbohydrate that a product contains. It is used to identify and differentiate two closely related species. 2. What are the carbohydrate profiles of the organisms you tested? (2) The yeast carbohydrate profile came out with glucose and fructose positive and Mannitol negative. The staph epidermidis

: Osmosis in Quail’s Eggs Research Question What is the effect of different concentrations of sodium Chloride (NaCl) on the mass of the de-shelled quail’s eggs? Introduction Osmosis is an example of passive transport. Osmosis is defined as the movement of water molecules‚ down its concentration gradient‚ from an area of high water concentration (low solute concentration) to an area of lower water concentration (high solute concentration) through a selectively permeable membrane. Osmosis doesn’t

Jhoselyn Adames June/12/2012 Scientific Critique of "_Osmosis Jones_" SYNOPSIS The 2001 film‚ _"Osmosis Jones"_‚ focuses on the representation of the human organism and the daily conflicts a body faces in order to maintain function. The film _"Osmosis Jones"_ is a film that tries to capture the attention of children ages eight to fourteen‚ by exposing the mechanisms of the human body. It is able to reveal the dangers of maintaining an unhealthy diet and some of the consequences that are associated

Investigating the effect of surface area to volume ratio on Osmosis As far as living organisms are concerned‚ they are all made up of cells whereas‚ the membrane surrounds all those cells. The cell membrane has the key responsibility to maintain a stable interval environment. Even though‚ Cell membrane is made up of phospholipids bilayer and has that great amount flexibility making it unbreakable while transportation of substances. However‚ certain substances such as‚ dissolved gases‚ sugars‚ salt

Osmosis Experiment Subject: Professor Egg-avier Duration: 3 weeks (Oct 2nd – Oct 16th) Week 1 On October 2nd my group was giving a raw egg (weighing 58.8 grams) and placed it into a clear mason jar with 200mL of vinegar. The ph levels of our vinegar equaled a 2 which tells us that vinegar is a fairly acidic liquid. Once submerged in the vinegar‚ little bubbles began to appear around the egg’s shell. We believed this to be carbon dioxide escaping from the shell. We left our egg to sit in the

Redox Titration Lab ABSTRACT: In this lab‚ 0.010 M purple-colored potassium permanganate solution was standardized by redox titration with iron (II) ammonium sulfate hexahydrate (FAS). The average mass of the three flasks of FAS was 0.483 grams. Once the concentration of the standard solution of KMnO4 (aq) was determined‚ it was used to determine the concentration of Fe2+ in iron pills. On average‚ there was 0.01813 L of solution used. With this information and the balanced net-ionic equation

Lab 3: Mitosis and Meiosis Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to recognize the stages as well as events of mitosis and meiosis in a plant cell or an animal cell. The relative duration of each stage in the cell cycle will also be learned during this lab. By doing this lab we will also create a model of and understand the process of crossing over. This lab also helps students understand the similarities along with differences between mitosis and meiosis. Hypothesis: I predict that
