Mateo BS AT - 1A NSCI 121 Assignment no.1 (Finals) 1.)What is Osmosis? Osmosis is the diffusion of the movement of water from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a cell membrane or other semi-permeable membrane until an equilibrium is reached. It is a special case of diffusion (passive transport). Basic Explanation : Osmosis can occur when there is a partially permeable membrane‚ such as a cell

THE EFFECT OF THE WATER CONCENTRATION GRADIENT ON THE RATE OF OSMOSIS Investigation Folio: Summative Stage 1 Biology: SEMESTER 1 2014 MARCIA SHAW - 151003X INTRODUCTION Diffusion: is when something spreads more widely from a higher concentration gradient to a lower concentration gradient. Diffusion is the process from which molecules‚ atoms or ions mingle together and move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration as a result to their kinetic energy. for example

LabMr.P/Pd. 63/17/14 Osmosis and Diffusion Lab Osmosis is a process where molecules pass through a semi permeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one‚ equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane. Diffusion is the spreading of something more widely.During the osmosis and diffusion lab I tested what happens to a fresh egg when osmosis and diffusion across membranes. The eggs were placed in vinegar‚ distilled water‚ and then lastly syrup. The

rate evaporation of water in different sized containers. By measuring the time it takes for the whole amount of water to evaporate‚ a conclusion can be made about the validity of the surface to volume ratio in regards to the biological process of diffusion. Research Question: What is the effect of the surface area to volume ratio on the evaporation of water? Variables: - Independent: o Surface area in cm2 of the top most surface of water in the container. - Dependent: o Rate of evaporation

1 Diffusion is the movement of molecules (or ions) from a high concentration to low concentration. Diffusion is form of passive transport as energy does not need to be generated. Diffusion is complete when the concentration of molecules is equal on either side of the membrane. Diffusion rate can be influenced by many factors such as: Concentration gradient across the the membrane. Permeability of the membrane to the diffusing substance. Temperature. Surface area of the membrane. Question 2 2.1

potato strip before and after osmosis. Time should be kept constant when the potato strip is put into the solution Hypothesis: The mass of the potato strip will increase in water and dilute concentrations of sucrose depending on the concentration within the cell. When the concentration of the sucrose solution outside the cells of the potato strip will be less‚ the mass of the solution will increase as water molecules from outside will diffuse into the cell (diffusion of water molecules from area

Part A: Diffusion on a liquid in a liquid. I did an experiment with three different glasses of tap water from the faucet. All three cups measured the same which happened to be 13 cm from the top of the cup to the bottom of the cup. I let the water settle‚ and sit for about an hour so the temperature was the same for all three cups. I then placed one drop of food coloring into the first glass and waited for the coloring to reach the bottom. I calculated 93 seconds. I then went to the second glass

weigh less due to osmosis. Our null hypothesis was: If the pH level of a solution is either acidic or basic‚ then it will have no effect on the weight. The independent variable was the different solutions of different pH values. The dependent variable was the weight of the potato‚ which was measured in grams. The baseline of this experiment is the weight of the potato when in the milk solution because milk has a neutral pH. The controls in this experiment are that each sample had

Osmosis Trial experiment Aim: Our aim in this experiment is to find out which vegetable absorbs the most liquid over a given time due to osmosis. Chosen Apparatus: we will need to use: six test tubes; a test tube rack; an apple; a potato; a cork borer; a measuring cylinder; sugar solution; scales to measure in milligrams; a ruler; a knife; and a pair of tweezers. Apparatus Why we chose it Advantages Alternative equipment apple Its an absorbent fruit and is similar to a potato It

Diffusion of innovation and persuasion Diffusion‚ What is it? “Diffusion is the process by which an innovation is communicated through certain channels over time among the members of a social system.” “Diffusion is a special type of communication concerned with the spread of messages perceived (or understood) as new ideas” 2 Main Elements of Diffusion 1. 2. 3. 4.
