    Osmosis and the Egg Lab Report  By: N. Mullins  Date: January 20‚ 2011    Introduction  This lab was designed to explain the different things osmosis does. Osmosis is the  diffusion of water across a semi permeable membrane. Over three days we tested the egg  in three different solutions to observe the changes. On Day 1‚ the main question we  answered was what happened to the egg when it was placed in vinegar? Before doing this  I came to my hypothesis was that the vinegar would eat away at the shell and eventually

    affect the rate of enzymes reactions. One of them is pH‚ which influence on the enzyme activity will be the subject of this investigation. Catalase of potato tuber cells will be the enzyme used in the experiment. RESEARCH QUESTIONWhat is the influence of different values of pH on the activity of catalase in potato tuber cells?VARIABLESIndependent: potato discs treatment (placing them into buffer solutions of different pH values‚ mixed with hydrogen peroxide)Dependent: the activity of the catalase‚ reflected

    different concentrations of glucose affect osmosis in potato cells. Osmosis is the passive process of diffusing water which means within this experiment particles of water will move from a lower concentrated area to an area of higher concentration ; in this case it will be a concentration of glucose. Diffusion is when particles move from an area of high concentration to low concentration ; for example when a smell of cooking spreads through the house. Osmosis is a vital mechanism in the transport of

    experiment is to study how enzyme activity is affected by environmental conditions. Researchers tested the level of potato extract enzyme activity with 1-11 pH‚ varying temperature‚ catechol solution‚ hydroquinone solution‚ and different measurements of catechol. In Figure 1A and 1B‚ pH levels were tested with potato extract to see how pH would affect the amount of Benzoquinone is formed in the potato. Although it was hypothesized that enzymes would form Benzoquinone better in acidic pH levels‚ the absorbency

    You may be wondering what diffusion‚ tonicity‚ osmosis and semipermeable membrane is. I’ll start off by explaining semipermeable membrane. A semipermeable membrane relates to the dialysis lab #1 because in dialysis tubing is considered semipermeable barriers. Semipermeable membrane is a membrane that allows passage of some particles but not others. (Lab manual) Diffusion on the other hand‚ is a form of passive transport where particles move down their concentration gradient from a region of high

    Introduction A computerized simulation experiment will be conducted in order to study the cell transport mechanism via the cell’s selectively permeable membrane and passive processes of simple and facilitated diffusion. The plasma membrane is a gateway which allows nutrients to enter the cell and keep undesirable substances out‚ hence‚ making it selectively permeable. One method of transport is called active transport‚ which uses ATP to transport substances through the membrane. The other is

    Diffusion and Osmosis lab Results: Figure 1a-rate of weight change in 15 min intervals of each concentration. The first tube showed very little weight change. However all other tubes show a greater change the concentration could be the factor that determines the permeability of the sucrose. The sucrose molecules are too large to pass through. Figure 1b- sucrose concentration determines the weight change. In this case based on our results as concentration increases the percent weight change

    Investigation: A factor that affects the movement of water in and out of cells. Osmosis: movement of water from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential through a partially permeable membrane. High water potential = lots of free water molecules‚ low solute concentration Low water potential = very few free water molecules‚ high solute concentration Factors That Affect the Movement of Water in and out of Cells * Solute concentration * If one solution

    Introduction: The purpose of experiment 1 was to demonstrate the principle of simple diffusion and understand how to make % solutions. Exercise 2 demonstrated the principle of osmosis: observing the movement of water by osmosis from an area of lower concentration of a solute to an area of higher concentration of a solute. Materials and Method: Refer to pages 47-51 of Bio 203L Lab Manual. Results/ Discussion: The effect of the chloride ion on its rate of diffusion in agar means it will diffuse

    Diffusion and Osmosis Lab Introduction • What molecules can pass through a semi-permeable membrane? In this lab study we tested carbohydrates such as starch and glucose‚ as well as solutions like Benedict’s and Lugol’s to see if they would cross the membrane of a cell but since we can’t actually see that happen we used dialysis tubing (acts as the cell membrane). • My prediction was that glucose and Benedict’s could pass the semi-permeable membrane but starch and Lugol’s wouldn’t be able to
