Lab Activity No. __ Diffusion and Osmosis I. Introduction Diffusion is the transfer of molecules (or ions) from an area of higher concentration to a lower concentration‚ while osmosis is the transfer of water from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. II. Objectives 1. Demonstrate diffusion and osmosis across membrane. 2. Examine the relation of membrane permeability to diffusion and osmosis. III. Materials 2 thistle tubes‚ 2 big beakers‚ 4 tube clamps to fit iron stands

CELL TRANSPORT MECHANISMS AND PERMEABILITY Zack Johnson Human Anatomy & Physiology Lab 2101 Instructor: Alan Byboth‚ M.S. 10/4/12 Abstract- The cell is invaluable building block of all biological life on this planet‚ and one of its most important and unique characteristics is its ability to be selectively permeable with its plasma membrane. This outer membrane’s sophisticated mechanisms of transport through its bilayer are vital in maintaining homeostasis in the cell and the entire

of this molecular movement. Diffusion is the random movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion where water moves through a selectively permeable membrane that only allows certain molecules to diffuse though (Lab Manual 7e‚ 2010). Diffusion or osmosis occurs until dynamic equilibrium has been reached. This is the point where the concentrations in both areas are equal and no net movement will occur

Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to see how the changes in exercise intensity affect the rate of metabolism within the body. Methods: In this lab‚ indirect calorimetry was used to measure metabolic rate by calculating caloric expenditure by the measurements of oxygen consumption. The variables measured were the fraction of oxygen expired‚ the fraction of carbon dioxide expired‚ and the total volume of air inspired. This experiment required the participation of two volunteers. First‚ the variables

diffuses through the stomata‚ under the leaf. The roots of the plants absorb the water from the soil and then the xylem will transport the water and nutrients upward to the leaves. As well as that the roots also store nutrients and anchor the plant. Plants also need Nitrogen to allow them to photosynthesis. Plants will undergo osmosis‚ which is the process that transports water and nutrients from where there is lots of it to where there is less;

Lab Report Procedure 6.1: Perform Benedict’s test for reducing sugars. Introduction: Benedict’s tests allows for the detection of the presence of reducing sugars. All monosaccharides are reducing sugars since all of them have active carbonyl group. Some disaccharides that are exposed to a carbonyl group are also reducing sugars but less reactive than monosaccharides. By mixing the sugar solution with Benedict’s solution and heating them‚ a redox reaction will occur. The copper (II) sulphate
