Experimental Laboratory Report: An investigation into the rate of osmosis Liana Gohery - 98332250 12/12/2014 Word count - ………3000……….. 1. Abstract This study was conducted to investigate the effect of concentration gradients on the rate of osmosis. Osmosis is the cellular transport of water‚ this study was conducted to show the significance of the rate at which this occurs. Dialysis bags were filled with three different concentrations of sucrose solutions and two with water. They were

Osmosis Lab: Potatoes and Elodea Background Information: Cells have a need to regulate their internal environment. They need to be able to this because cells often find themselves in environments where the concentration of dissolved solids outside the cell is different from the number of dissolved solids inside the cell. Since the solids can not move across the membrane‚ the cell responds by moving water either into or out of the cell in an attempt to balance the number dissolved particles.

year I became interested in figuring out how the using the same recipes the outcome could be so different. Background Information: Osmosis is the of a solvent across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. The water being the solvent can move across the membrane but the salt

The “Couch Potato” Lifestyle “Couch potato”‚ a slang term to describe a person who spends most of the time sitting or lying on a couch. However‚ sedentary lifestyle is another term which commonly used as a medical term to describe a lifestyle with irregular psychical activities or exercise. People intend to spend more time sitting‚ surfing the internet‚ working on a computer‚ watching television‚ and other activities that do not require much psychical movement or activities. Hence‚ this lifestyle

different concentrations‚ a concentration gradient exists. When things move from a higher concentration to a lower concentration‚ it is known as diffusion. As long as diffusion is permitted to go on‚ equilibrium will be reached. Equilibrium is when two areas have reached equal concentration levels. The egg in this lab will have water and substances diffusing though it in and out. The direction‚ in which things diffuse‚ depends on the type of solution the egg is placed in. A hypertonic solution isa solution

9/17/2013‚ Lois Andersen & Claire Ma “The Power of Osmosis” The purpose of the lab was to discover‚ through osmosis‚ the concentration of sugar water in a potato. First‚ potatoes were cut into strips about 3 centimetres in length and six strips were individually massed. Next‚ the six strips were placed in 6 different Dixie cups‚ labelled A‚ B‚ Q‚ X‚ Y‚ and Z. Each of the Dixie cups were then filled just enough to cover the potato strips‚ with substances that matched the letters of the cups

Osmosis is the net movement of water from a high concentration of water to a low concentration of water down a concentration gradient. This is done to equalise the solute concentrations on the two sides. Therefore‚ in other words‚ the movement of water is depended on the concentration of dissolved solute in the water (in this case the sucrose) and if there are a higher concentration of sucrose in the visking tubing‚ the water in the beaker will move into the visking tubing to make both solution balanced

zmosis The IB Lab Report Measuring osmosis 1. Introduction My experiment is about osmosis on a potato and if or the quantity of salt affects osmosis. I would do the experiment with 5 potatoes cut into squares all the potatoes weight the same so the weight can`t be a variable the I put the potatoes on 5 different plastic cups with different amounts of salt and then I weight them again to see if the quantity of salt affected the osmosis of potatoes 1a. Research question ¿Does the quantity

Effect of Sucrose Solution on Osmosis Aim: The aim of the experiment is to show how varying the concentration of sucrose solution affects osmosis by changing different molar solutions of sucrose and water and how it affects the potato. Introduction: In this investigation I will be exploring the effect of varying concentration of sucrose sugar solution on the amount of activity between the solution and the potatoes. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a partially
