Concentration ·Enzyme Concentration The factor I am changing is surface area of potato containing Catalase. By increasing the surface area of the potato‚ you make more Catalase molecules be exposed to hydrogen peroxide. This will result in the rate of reaction increasing because it increases the chance of more successful collisions between the enzyme and the substrate. Catalase is an enzyme found in food such as‚ potato. It is used to break down a poisonous by-product of metabolism called hydrogen

different concentrations of solutions determine the mass of a potato?" Introduction: The way to get the full results of this lab was through the process of osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water across a membrane into a more concentrated solution to reach an equilibrium. When regarding cells osmosis has three different terms that are used to describe their concentration. The first of these words is isotonic. Cells in an isotonic solution show that the water has no net movement and the amount

particles outside compared to inside (a hypertonic environment)‚ water will begin to flow from an area of high concentration inside the cell to an area of low concentration outside the cell. The cell will lose water (and mass)‚ start to shrivel up and eventually die. This process is called plamolysis. It is the result of osmosis. On the other hand‚ if the cell is in an environment where there are more dissolved particles inside the cell than outside (a hypotonic environment)‚ water will diffuse into

I. Research Question What are the effects of different sucrose concentrations on potato stripes which have been submerged in a range of solute sucrose concentrations. II. Background Information Osmosis is one of the four methods of moving particles across membranes along with simple diffusion‚ facilitated diffusion‚ and active transport. Water is able to move in and out of most cells freely. Sometimes the number of water molecules moving in and out is the same and there is no net movement‚ but at

In experiment 5.1 in order to observe diffusion we examine the Brownian movement by observing carmine on a wet mount slide‚ and by using dialysis tubing‚ we investigate the selective permeability to reducing sugar‚ glucose‚ starch‚ and iodine potassium iodine. In experiment 5.2 we use samples of ox blood and Elodea plant to observe the net flow of water from the surrounding solution into the cells. In experiment 5.3 in order to estimate the osmolarity of the potato tuber

Exercise 1 – Potato Change in Mass versus Sucrose Concentrations Introduction: This exercise involves estimating the osmotic concentration of potato tuber cells by using a change in mass method. The null hypothesis states that there will be no change of mass of the potato disks after they have been incubated in any sucrose solution. This means that the concentration of sucrose that the potatoes are in will no effect the movement of water in or out of the potato cells. However‚ the alternative hypothesis

To study the effects of hypotonic‚ hypertonic‚ and isotonic solutions on plant and animal cells. Experiment 1 : Introduction : The purpose of doing this experiment is to investigate the effects of hypotonic‚ hypertonic‚ and isotonic solutions on plant cell. Particularly in this experiment we use onion cells. Tissue from an onion is a good first exercise in using the microscope

between the solutes‚ the higher the osmotic pressure. Osmotic pressure can be classified into three tonicities‚ which are Hypotonic‚ Isotonic and Hypertonic. Hypotonic is a situation when the concentration of water in cells are more than water outside the cell‚ causing water to flow into the cell until it ruptures and plasmolyse in animal cell and plant cell respectively. Isotonic is a situation where the concentration of water of cells is equal to the concentration of the water in the surrounding

transport‚ this means that they do not require energy or pumps. There are different environments created due to diffusion. There are hypotonic‚ hypertonic‚ and isotonic environments. Hypotonic is when the solution has a lower solute concentration compared to the water potential. The hypertonic solution has a higher solute concentration and lower water potential. In an isotonic solution‚ there is no net movement and there is an equal concentration of solutes and water. In our lab‚ we modeled diffusion and
