The Osmosis Lab SHS Lacrosse Monster #2 Dates performed: 10/10/11 and 10/11/11 Introduction: The purpose of the laboratory investigation was to observe the diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane. In this lab‚ dialysis tubing was used to represent the semi-permeable cell membrane. Three dialysis tubes were prepared with 5% sucrose solution and were soaked in solutions of different concentrations. The diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane is called osmosis. When

Osmosis Lab: The Incredible Egg How does the solution a cell is in effect the movement of substances into and out of the cell? Eggs were soaked in vinegar for twenty-four hours before the lab to dissolve the shell‚ then placed them into the distilled water. Then the eggs were taken out and dried by the paper towel to measure their weight on the electronic scale. First egg weighted 78.92g‚ most of the parts of it’s skin was white translucent‚ and was spongy. After the egg was submerged into the

POTATO BATTERY Abstract a. Purpose To lessen the consume of electric charge b. Procedure We insert copper and zinc electrodes in to the potato‚ close but not touching each other. We use Clip leads to connect our electrodes to the Multimeter to measure voltage between two electrodes or current passing through the multimeter. For this experiment we removed the shell of a broken AA battery for our Zinc electrode. (Make sure to test your multimeter by connecting its Positive and Negative

Digital Balance used to measure the mass of the potato strip before and after osmosis. Time should be kept constant when the potato strip is put into the solution Hypothesis: The mass of the potato strip will increase in water and dilute concentrations of sucrose depending on the concentration within the cell. When the concentration of the sucrose solution outside the cells of the potato strip will be less‚ the mass of the solution will increase as water molecules from outside will diffuse into

Experiment: Osmosis in Sucrose Solutions Abstract We used dialysis tubing to simulate a semi-permeable membrane. Since molecules diffuse from their higher concentration to their lower concentration‚ water will move across the membrane in response to this concentration. While conducting this lab we were able to observe passive transport through diffusion and osmosis. Introduction Osmosis is a specialized case of diffusion that involves the passive transport of water. When osmosis occurs

those in the province‚ the researcher came up with the study entitled “Potato Battery”. Two new sources are fruits and vegetables. These are organic and can easily be bought at farms and markets. One of these is the use of potato but not all fruits and vegetables are usable. Potato had been considered due to it’s high content of phosphoric acid. B. Statement of the problem This study basically aims to find out whether a potato could be able to produce enough power to light up a bulb. And if it

The Effect of pH on the Rate of Osmosis Using a Glucose Solution Melissa Werderitch Biology 157 11/6/06 Introduction In a journal article written by Florian Lang‚ osmosis is essentially explained as the flow of water from one area to another that are separated by a selectively permeable membrane to equalize concentrations of particles in the two locations (Lang‚ 1997). Osmosis is able to maintain osmotic pressure and regulate a cell’s volume. In a hypotonic () or hypertonic () environment

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
