    concentrations on the activity of osmosis in plant tissue. Background scientific theory: Plants exchange gases (CO2 and O2) in maintaining vital respiratory processes and in carrying out photosynthesis; they absorb certain minerals and sugars so to use as a source of energy and eradicate wastes in order to maintain specific requirements for survival. Large amounts of water are absorbed by root hairs and are then distributed across the cells of plants by the process of osmosis; water being essential to

    and air as the control. When performing this experiment‚ the main element to consider is hypertonic‚ hypotonic and isotonic solutions and how they relate to osmosis. Osmosis is the process where a fluid passes through a semipermeable membrane‚ which moves from an area which the solute is present in high concentrations. As a result of osmosis‚ there will be an equal amount of fluid on either side of the barrier‚ creating an isotonic solution. When cells are placed in an isotonic solution‚ the movement

    Consequently‚ osmosis is leveling the concentrations on both sides of the membrane. However‚ the higher the temperature is‚ the higher osmosis will perform within the plant cell. When the molecules are heated‚ they start to move faster‚ causing osmosis to perform faster than at a neutral temperature. Temperature is just one of the many factors that can affect osmosis‚ such as‚ the pressure (the less pressure‚ the molecules will move leisurely

    within a cell are called Diffusion. When molecules move across a cell membrane it is known as Osmosis. Diffusion is the process by which molecules of a substance move from areas of higher concentration of that substance to areas of lower concentration. Diffusion can be the transfer of anything anywhere. However‚ that is not true for osmosis. Osmosis is diffusion‚ but a specific type of diffusion. Osmosis is only the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane and a concentration

    Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to observe passive transport of molecules through diffusion and osmosis. We had to keep close observation on two dialysis bags and explain how we measured the change in weight as diffusion and osmosis occurred throughout the experiment. Cells produce an energy called Kinetic Energy.  This causes molecules of the cell to move around and bump into each other. Diffusion is one result of this molecular movement.  Diffusion is the passive movement of molecules

    Potato Cell Cytoplasm Composition PURPOSE: To determine the concentration of salt in the cytoplasm of potato cells HYPOTHESIS: Increase in salt concentration results in a hypotonic solution where the mass of the potato increases due to the movement of water into the cell. On the other hand‚ decrease in salt concentration results in a hypertonic solution where the mass of the potato decreases due to the movement of water outside the cell. MATERIALS: Potato Forceps Stopwatch Scalpel Test

    The movement of water down its osmotic gradient across a selectively permeable membrane is known as osmosis. The difference in the concentrations of solutes on either side of the membrane results in the establishment of an osmotic pressure. Water follows the direction of solutes‚ this means that in the event where there are more solutes outside the cell than there are inside the cell‚ water will move from the inside of the cell to the outside in order to establish water balance. When a cell is placed

    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 faster because it is more
