molecules of the food coloring equally distributed in the area of the water. Osmosis is a special type of diffusion where only the water molecules move. This happens through a selectively permeable membrane. It allows water and oxygen to move freely across the membrane. Osmosis only has an effect when the cell is in a hypotonic or hypertonic solution. A hypotonic solution is when the salt concentration

Osmosis and Water Potential Year 11 Emary Venter INTRODUCTION: The cell is the basic unit of living things‚ and is made up of multiple organelles. Organelles are membrane bound subdivisions‚ each specialised for a specific function. This experiment looks at the Plasma Membrane‚ which is a semipermeable layer surrounding the cell. It’s primary job is to control what goes in and out of the cell. Molecules can move across this membrane in either an active movement or a passive movement

Joshua Annan Biology Section-04 Diffusion and Osmosis December 14‚2012 Alexis‚ Adiba‚ Elliot and Joey Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to get a better understanding of osmosis and diffusion in molecules. We will do this by studying different solutions and how they move through the permeable membrane. Hypothesis: The three different possible predictions were the lab were that the mass would stay the same‚ the mass will increase‚ or the mass will decrease

Examining Diffusion and Osmosis Introduction: Purpose: 1. To simulate and observe the diffusion of solutes and the osmosis of water through a semipermeable membrane through color change and sugar tests. 2. To speculate osmosis occurring in dialysis bags and potato cores by comparing percentage change in masses. Background information: Molecules are always in random‚ constant movement due to their kinetic energy. This causes the molecules of a cell to move around and bump into each other

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

Title: Creating the chemical reaction of Osmosis with an Egg. Purpose: We are taking a large single cell (the egg) and demonstrating Osmosis. Osmosis is a type of diffusion where the water molecules is the solution that is being moved. Osmosis is the movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration. Introduction: When trying to create an osmosis reaction‚ it is important to understand

Discussion: Osmosis is a passive process by which water molecules move through a partially permeable membrane from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration‚ creating an equal amount of molecules from both regions on each side of the membrane. This process is the result of a downhill energy system known as water potential. Water potential is the potential energy of water (per unit volume) that allows it to move from one area to another by osmosis. This system causes the water

Experiment 1 Background Diffusion is a process‚ in relation to the spontaneous movement of molecules from an area of high concentration‚ to an area of low concentration down a concentration gradient. It is a type of passive transport method‚ that requires no cellular energy (ATP). This movement occurs‚ until a state of equilibrium has been established on both sides of the membrane. The diffusion of molecules happens at cellular level‚ through a cell membrane via the pores. The cell membrane

Osmosis is a particular type of passive transport involving the movement of water molecules from the region of low solute concentration to the region of high solute concentration through semi permeable membrane‚ which allows movement of solvent molecules‚ but not solute. The main principle of osmosis is to equalize

Osmosis and Diffusion During the past few weeks in my Ag Biology class we have been learning about and reviewing both osmosis and diffusion. We did two different labs‚ one on osmosis; the other on diffusion. The first lab we did was our diffusion lab. We learned that diffusion is moving something from an area of high concentration to a low concentration. We were showed that Mio and other flavor drops perform diffusion when put in water as an example. For the lab part we put a mixture of starch
