energy‚ the molecules go down a concentration gradient. Active transport is the opposite it uses ATPase for energy‚ and molecules move against a concentration gradient. Prediction: When the potato cylinder is placed in a high water potential sucrose solution I think it will increase in mass‚ and length. This is because the solution has a higher water potential than the cells in the cylinder‚ water molecules will travel from a high water potential (The solution) to a low water potential (The potato

Biological Macromolecules Lab Cells‚ the fundamental units of life‚ are composed of various combinations of organic macromolecules: carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids. This lab exercise is designed to show you the qualitative tests commonly used to detect their presence. Objectives Test for the presence of monosaccharides by using the Benedict’s test Test for the presence of starch‚ a polysaccharide‚ by using the Lugol’s iodine test Test for the presence of lipids by using the

percent. For the 0.2‚ 0.4‚ 0.6 0.8‚ and 1.0 Moles of sucrose solutions‚ the bag gained mass. The water had to diffuse across the membrane into the bag to space out the sucrose molecules because the beaker contained no sucrose. The sucrose was unable to diffuse across the dialysis tubing because the molecules were too large for the pores (as referenced in the previous paragraph). This part experiences osmosis because only the water‚ not the sucrose‚ diffused across the membrane to close the gap between

Writing of Lab Reports __________________________________________________________________________ W hy should I bother writing lab reports in the correct way?” The Foundation Programme is designed to prepare you for undergraduate studies at UTAR which will require the writing of lab reports all years generally. At the end of your third year‚ you may have an opportunity to work on scientific projects which will culminate in an official scientific report. Depending on the quality of your report

Osmosis The purpose of this lab is to study how membranes of plant and animal cells react when exposed to different solutions. The first experiment involves purple onion skin and the second involves rat blood in various solutions. I needed to understand certain terms before preforming this lab to be able to efficiently explain what is happening to the cells. Diffusion is the tendency of a substance to move down its concentration gradient from a more concentrated to a less concentrated area.

The sucrose will test negative due to the fact that it is a carbohydrate and not a composition of organic material but rather a single part. In the test for starches‚ water again will serve a the negative control for the experiment becasue it is inorganic. it appears obvious the 1% starch solution will test positve for starches becasue it is starch. The onion juice should carry starch due to the fact that starch is stored energy for plants and onions are very bulbous‚ while the sucrose solution

turgid. However‚ animal cells do not have cell wall and huge gain of water molecules will cause the burst of the cell. The main purpose of this practical work is to observe the osmosis in potato cubes‚ onion epidermis cells and visking tubes. To examine the effect of different concentrations of sucrose solutions on the plant cells and dialysis tubings. Hazards Precautions Sharp knife‚ scalpel‚ broken glass may cause injuries. Wear lab coat‚ gloves and safety goggles during the practical work. Be careful

Intro I am going to do an investigation into what concentration of sucrose solution would cause “Incipient Plasmolysis”. Theory Plasmolysis is the result of a (in particular) plant cell which has lost vast amounts of water. When this happens‚ turgor pressure within the cell has decreased to the point where the cytoplasm of the cell membrane peels away from the cell wall. When this begins to happen it is called Incipient Plasmolysis and when the cytoplasm is almost completely gone it is call “full/complete”

brown when mixed with iodine‚ then the test for starches is negative. If the solution turns purple‚ or a dark purplish black‚ then the test for starches is positive. If DI water‚ and sucrose are tested for proteins using biuret reagent‚ then they will show a negative result. To explain‚ both DI water‚ and sucrose alone do not contain a trace of protein. In addition‚ deionized water is commonly used in experiments as a negative control. In both experiments‚ if the DI water is tested for a protein
