germination is the uptake of water by the seed. This is the part where osmosis takes place. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane in which the water moves from a high concentration to an area where there are water molecules with a low concentration. Osmosis is similar to diffusion in the way mentioned earlier with the molecules moving from high to low concentration. Another similarity that osmosis shares with diffusion is that both processes work as passive transports

Title: Osmosis in quails’ egg Aim: To observe the effect of different concentrations of sodium chloride on a de-shelled quail’s egg To explain the effects in terms of osmosis Research Questions: Does the different concentrations of sodium chloride on a de-shelled quail’s egg effect the final mass of quail’s eggs that is measured by using electronic weighing balance? Introduction: “If a cell is to perform its functions‚ it must maintain a steady state in the midst of an ever-changing

because the lower the concentration of sugar the greater its water potential and consequently the faster the rate of osmosis. The results show that in each of the five sugar solutions‚ the rate of osmosis decreased with time. This happened because the difference in water potential between the inside and the outside of the beetroot time decreased as the experiment proceeded. Osmosis occurred most in distilled water because this contained the highest water potential when compared with the other beakers

Introduction In chemistry‚ substances require a certain amount of energy in the form of average kinetic energy (temperature) to freeze. To reach the temperature a substance requires to freeze‚ it must lose a certain amount of heat energy (a form of energy transferred from one object to another‚ because of a temperature difference). When a substance reaches its freezing point and begins to freeze‚ its temperature remains constant until it is completely frozen. However‚ in order to melt a substance

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

Introduction In this experiment‚ I measured the impact of two different topical chemicals on growing bacteria over the course of a week. Bleach‚ water‚ hand sanitizer and hand soap were all variables used to observe the effects of the bacteria swabbed from my palm and fingers. Bleach has been the go to product for killing germs and it is because of the similar effects it has with high temperature on the proteins in bacteria. I hypothesized that bleach would be the most efficient way for killing the

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‚ went according to plan and produced a lot of good results. The timing‚ weighing

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

partially supported because glucose left the bag and is proven by the positive test on the surrounding water. Also the beaker turned orange because of osmosis which attests to glucose leaving the bag. Iodine Potassium Iodine and water entered the bag. This was proven by the color change in the starch test as the bag turned black also because of osmosis. The only thing that the hypothesis lacked was that starch did not move at all. The beaker stayed yellow before and after because the bag is not permeable

transport are endocytosis‚ exocytosis‚ and phagocytosis. Passive transport does not require energy it is powered by the concentration gradient of the molecule. Examples of passive transport are diffusion‚ facilitated diffusion‚ filtration‚ and osmosis. In our Osmosis Lab I used a Grade a large egg from the grocery store. Its circumference is 5 ½ inches it is smooth with no cracks. I carefully place the egg in a clear plastic cup and fill the cup with vinegar. I immediately notice bubbles covering the
