In this lab we will look at how molecules move across the membrane of a cell . Osmosis is the movement of water across a cell membrane.In osmosis the cell membrane is selectively permeable‚which allows for the membrane to control what types of substances that passes through.Transportation can either be passive or active.Passive transport does not require the use of added energy where as active transport requires the cell to use energy. Diffusion is the simplest form of passive transport. Using

solutions (0.1 M) the mass of the carrot and potato tubers increases due to water moving into the protoplast of the cell from the sucrose solution by osmosis and at high concentrations of sucrose solutions (0.5 M) the mass of the carrot and potato tubers decreases due to water moving out of the protoplast of the cell to the sucrose solution by osmosis. At certain concentrations (0.18 M of the potato and 0.355 M for the carrot) the potato and carrot tubers don’t change in mass due to the water potential

has lower. When testing hypertonic and hypotonic solutions to find out if water enters or leaves it is possible to deduce what concentration of solution will be isotonic and with this find the osmolarity. Water moves across the cell membrane by osmosis‚ and if the total concentration of all dissolved solutes is not equal in both sides‚ the water molecules will need to move in or out of the cell. It moves depends on whether the cells environments is isotonic‚ hypotonic or hypertonic. Isotonic is

“Cell Transport Lab” Hypothesis: I hypothesis that there will be a movement of molecules out of the egg‚ and will move into the water solution. Osmosis will occur within the egg‚ and in the process the molecules of the egg will diffuse.

Question: investigate the water potential of potato tissue? Introduction All cells require essential materials to ensure their survival. Chemical‚ physical‚ and biological processes are used to move these materials inside of cells. Similar processes move waste materials outside of cells. These processes can be passive‚ occurring as a result of basic physical laws and requiring no outside energy from the cell or they can be active‚ requiring energy expenditure. Since all molecules possess kinetic

What is osmosis? Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a semi permeable membrane. Why is it important? It is important to know what Osmosis is‚ and to understand it so that we understand what we are measuring‚ and so that we can use this understanding to apply to other situations so that we can gain further knowledge. We can also use this understanding to analyse our results. What we will do: We will put potato pieces of similar sizes in to test tubes of different concentrations

molecules spread faster and faster. The opposite would be true of colder temperatures. 3. Considering the osmosis lab‚ explain the relationship between fluid volume and osmotic pressure. Answer: Osmotic pressure is the measure of the tendency for osmotic flow to occur. Osmotic flow is from a solvent to a solution. This is the amount of pressure that needs to be applied from the outside to prevent osmosis. Fluid volume might be connected to osmotic pressure as the amount of pressure required to contain
