potential to solute concentration and water potential [NOTE: You may want to look over Lab 1a to refresh your memory!] EXERCISE 1b-A: DETERMINING THE WATER POTENTIAL OF POTATO CELLS In this exercise you will use potato cores placed in different molar concentrations of sucrose in order to determine the water potential of potato cells. First‚ however‚ we will explore what is meant by the term "water potential." Water Potential. Water potential is abbreviated by the Greek letter psi (ψ). Water potential

effects of solutions containing varying levels of tonicity to red blood cells. Tonicity describes what happens to a cell when it is placed in a certain solution. Hypertonic solutions contain a lower solute concentration than the cell cytoplasm‚ hypotonic solutions contain a higher solute concentration than the cell’s cytoplasm‚ and isotonic solutions contain relatively the same

at the effects of osmosis in this lab through the examination of red blood cells (sheep)‚ plant cells (elodea)‚ and active transport in yeast. Under the microscope‚ we can determine the effects on plant and animal cells exposed to hypotonic‚ hypertonic‚ and isotonic sodium chloride solutions. Plant cells have a cell wall; however‚ animal cells do not. This is examined as a major difference between the two; therefore‚ under the microscope both cells appear much unique from one another. The animal

to observe the response of animal and plant cells into these conditions‚ red blood cells (RBCs) and Hydrilla leaf were used and were exposed into different concentrations. Both cells exhibited hypertonic and hypotonic solutions when exposed to high and low concentrations respectively‚ while exhibiting isotonic when concentrations are equal. Three experiments using dialyzing bags were conducted. The first experiments used three set-ups. The first set-up was a dialyzing bag filled with saturated NaCl

VII. Conclusion The hypothesis that if a potato is placed in a tube with different sucrose concentrations then the tube with the lowest concentration of sucrose will expand the potato the most because the water will move into the potato to even out the concentration levels of the sucrose/ water ratio inside and outside of the potato was supported by the data. The data shows that the potato submerged in the lowest concentration of the sucrose water solution had the greatest percent change in mass

properties of diffusion and osmosis to see the effects of either corn syrup or water on a shell-less raw egg over a three day period. While looking to see the effects of these liquids on the raw egg‚ one can also apply the properties of hypotonic‚ hypertonic‚ and isotonic solutions. Introduction Cells have an outer covering called the cell membrane. The membrane is selectively permeable meaning that it has tiny pores or holes that allow objects to move across it. The cell membrane controls what moves

In this experiment‚ strips are cut from the same potato and placed in sucrose solutions with different concentrations to see if there are any changes in term of weight. Different concentration of sucrose solution is the independent variable while the volume and length of each potato strip and the amount of sucrose solution used
