    Razelle Icaro- Resub Plants absorb water from the soil via osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration across a semi-permeable membrane until the concentration is equilibrium. There are usually more solvents in the water inside the plant which means there is a high concentration. Because of this‚ the water flows into the root hair cells from the soil. Watering plants with a saline solution (salty water) changes the osmotic

    Experiment: Osmosis in Sucrose Solutions Abstract We used dialysis tubing to simulate a semi-permeable membrane. Since molecules diffuse from their higher concentration to their lower concentration‚ water will move across the membrane in response to this concentration. While conducting this lab we were able to observe passive transport through diffusion and osmosis. Introduction Osmosis is a specialized case of diffusion that involves the passive transport of water. When osmosis occurs

    Introduction: My aim to find out when the sugar solution’s concentration is high or low it will expand or reduce. Plant cells always have a strong cell wall surrounding them. When the take up water by osmosis they start to swell‚ but the cell wall stops them from bursting. When they are put in dilute solutions‚ plant cells turn out to be “turgid” (swollen and hard). When the pressure inside the cell increases; No more water can’t enter the cell because the internal pressure of the cell is really

    Collection: The aim of this experiment was to test the weight of six potatoes before and after being put into different sucrose solutions. The following data was observed and collected throughout the experiment. Observations: -Qualitative: The potatoes were: Tubed shaped Yellow in color Initially hard in texture -Quantitative: Table 1: Weight of the potato in grams before and after placed in a different concentrations of sucrose solutions. Sucrose solution (M) Weight Before (g) ± 0.01

    investigate osmosis‚ which was successfully achieved because there was a change in the potato’s mass which was due to the net movement of water either into the potato cells or out of the potato cells. In the 0.400M solution‚ the potato decreased in mass‚ this was due to the reason that the solution was hypertonic. There was a higher concentration of solute and lower concentration of water in the solution than there was in the potato cells. This led the water to travel down its concentration gradient

    • 5 Pages

    Introduction Osmosis is the movement of water from a region of higher concentration ( hypertonic ) to a region of lower concentration ( hypotonic solution ) through a cell membrane or other semi-permeable membrane until an equilibrium is reached. It is a special case of diffusion called “ passive transport “ which means no energy is required. Diffusion is the movement of a substance by which the molecules move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Aim Our

    Aim: My objective is to plan and conduct an experiment from which I should be able to draw a firm conclusion that will either prove or disprove any predictions I make. This essay aims to assess and investigate the effect of various solution concentrations on the activity of osmosis in plant tissue. Background scientific theory: Plants exchange gases (CO2 and O2) in maintaining vital respiratory processes and in carrying out photosynthesis; they absorb certain minerals and sugars so to use

    Abstract The following experiment details the effect of different concentrations of catalase on the production of oxygen and water through the breakdown of Hydrogen Peroxide. In this experiment paper disc where coated in varying concentrations of catalase‚ 0‚ 25‚ 50 75 and 100%. The time taken for the disc to float between two markers on the side of a glass was then recorded. This experiment demonstrates that the higher the concentration of enzyme used the greater the production of oxygen on the
