LABORATORY 1b - Water Potential II LABORATORY 1b: WATER POTENTIAL II OVERVIEW In this laboratory you will investigate the effect of solute concentration on water potential as it relates to living plant tissues. OBJECTIVES Before you begin this lab you should understand: - the mechanisms of diffusion and osmosis and their importance to cells - the concept of water potential - the relationship between solute concentration‚ pressure potential and the water potential of a solution - the concept

ii. hypertonic solution: A cell placed in it will lose water: Also known as plasmolysis. iii. isotonic solution: A cell placed in it will neither gain nor lose water 10) Cells of Plants‚ fungi & bacteria: Contain both plasma membrane & cell wall. Cell wall is rigid‚ non-living & outer most covering‚ composed mainly of cellulose. 11) When placed in hypertonic solution‚ a living plant cell shows plasmolysis 12) Cell wall provides mechanical strength to the cell. It permits the cell

results in water molecules entering a plant cell‚ the molecules exert a pressure against the cell wall‚ called turgor pressure. 3. hypertonic‚ plasmolysis : hypertonic solution has a higher solute concentration than the cytosol of a cell. In a hypertonic solution a plant cell will lose water and shrink away from the cell wall‚ a process called plasmolysis.

Experiment to Investigate Osmosis in Potatoes The aim of this experiment is to investigate the movement of water in and out of plant cells. The cells chosen for study will be taken from potato tubers. Firstly I will explain what osmosis is. Osmosis is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration. This definition contains three important statements: a) It is the passage of water through a semi permeable membrane

Practical Work Nº2: “Different methods to control osmosis” Aim: observe and test the process of osmosis through different kinds of methods: the weigh (potato)‚ the density (beetroot) and under the light microscope (onion). Hypothesis: according to the encyclopedia definition osmosis is the diffusion of a liquid (most often assumed to be water‚ but it can be any liquid solvent) through a partially-permeable membrane from a region of high solvent potential to a region of low solvent potential. Thus

From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit) Several culinary fruits Culinary fruits In botany‚ a fruit is a part of a flowering plant that derives from specific tissues of the flower‚ one or more ovaries‚ and in some cases accessory tissues. Fruits are the means by which these plants disseminate seeds. Many of them that bear edible fruits‚ in particular‚ have propagated with the movements of humans and animals in a symbiotic relationship as a means for seed

Oxalic acid Citric acid Malic acid Tartaric acid Oxalic acid is an organic compound with the formula H2C2O4. It is a colorless crystalline solid that dissolves in water to give colorless solutions. It is classified as a dicarboxylic acid. In terms of acid strength‚ it is much stronger than acetic acid. Oxalic acid is a reducing agent and its conjugate base‚ known as oxalate (C2O42−)‚ is a chelating agent for metal cations. Typically‚ oxalic acid occurs as the dihydrate with the formula

than the plant cell‚ water will move leave the cell‚ and the cell becomes plasmolysed (flaccid). If the plant cell is place in a solution with the same water potential‚ there will be no net movement of water. The cell is then said to be incipient plasmolysis. The table below shows what happens to the cell when water moves in and out of a cell. Water potential of solution compared to cell Higher Equal Lower Net movement of water Enters cell Neither

Title: Ms. K Cell Membrane and Homeostasis Experiment Objective(s): The reason for this experiment is to see how starch and iodine affect each other and how a plastic bag works similar to a membrane in certain situations. Introduction: I know prior to doing this experiment that iodine mixed with starch creates a dark color and that most objects‚ organic and inorganic‚ naturally experience isotonic reactions. Hypothesis: I think that the potato will absorb more starch than the sweet potato and
