Osmosis Lab Conclusion The purpose of this lab is to determine whether salt affects the movement of water in the cell. Independent variable is the factor that affects the value of variables dependent to it. In osmosis lab‚ the independent variables are the potato and onions. The dependent variable is the variable whose value is measured to determine the extent of the effect of another variable to it‚ as in an experiment. In osmosis lab‚ the dependent variable is the length of the potato. The controlled

Diffusion and Osmosis Shown In Solutions Section 1: Abstract This lab‚ title Diffusion and Osmosis‚ was centered around the diffusion across a cellular membrane and how exactly materials move and diffuse in concentrations. Both diffusion and osmosis are forms of movement that are part of passive transport dealing with cell membranes. Diffusion is where the solutes move from an area of high concentration to a low concentration. Water goes through the cell membranes by diffusion. Osmosis is specifically

Osmosis and the Egg Lab Report By: N. Mullins Date: January 20‚ 2011 Introduction This lab was designed to explain the different things osmosis does. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a semi permeable membrane. Over three days we tested the egg in three different solutions to observe the changes. On Day 1‚ the main question we answered was what happened to the egg when it was placed in vinegar? Before doing this I came to my hypothesis was that the vinegar would eat away at the shell and eventually

Hands On Approach to Diffusion and Osmosis Abstract A. Plant and Animal Cell Diffusion and Osmosis In this experiment we observed carmine powder to better understand the concept of Brownian motion and the role of molecular movement in diffusion. The particles continuously moved in a completely random fashion‚ and the smaller particles moved with more speed than the larger particles. B. Potato Core Experiment In this experiment we estimated the osmolarity of potato tuber tissue

One purpose of the experiment was to gain an understanding of diffusion and osmosis‚ specifically in context of a plant or animal cell reaction to an isotonic‚ hypotonic‚ or hypertonic solution. Another objective was to understand the nuances of simple diffusion‚ facilitated diffusion‚ and active transport and to explicate the characteristics affecting the rates of diffusion. The next objective was to be able to explicate the partition coefficient and its influence on hemolysis. The final objective

You may be wondering what diffusion‚ tonicity‚ osmosis and semipermeable membrane is. I’ll start off by explaining semipermeable membrane. A semipermeable membrane relates to the dialysis lab #1 because in dialysis tubing is considered semipermeable barriers. Semipermeable membrane is a membrane that allows passage of some particles but not others. (Lab manual) Diffusion on the other hand‚ is a form of passive transport where particles move down their concentration gradient from a region of high

Cells must move materials through membranes in order to maintain homeostasis. The cellular environment is aqueous‚ indicating that the solutes dissolve in the solvent‚ water. When a cell is hypertonic‚ or hypotonic‚ to its surroundings‚ it tries to make concentration of solution inside and outside itself equal. However‚ the solutes are too big to pass the cell membranes without the help of channel proteins‚ or transport proteins. Water may freely pass through the membrane by osmosis‚ which

human activities‚ such as factories‚ electrical power plants and automobiles. Two main pollutants are sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2)‚ which reacts with substances in the atmosphere‚ such as water and oxygen‚ to form acid rain. While rain water has a pH of 5.6‚ acid rain has a pH of 5 or less‚ which is acidic enough to harm plant life. Due to the reactivity of acid rain‚ the cell processes of plants are disrupted‚ and the cells die or become unable to function properly. Although this
