Lab # 2 Diffusion & Osmosis Introduction Kinetic energy‚ a root of energy stored in cells‚ causes molecules to hit into each other and move in new directions. Diffusion is the result of this contact. Diffusion is the random movement of molecules to an area of lower concentration from an area of higher concentration. Osmosis is a type of diffusion. This is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water

graph plotted‚ it could be seen that when there was a high concentration of sugar the mass of beetroot decreased. This happened because water moved from the inside of the beetroot‚ where there was a high water potential into the sugar solution‚ which had a lower water potential. In the other four beakers where the concentration of sugar solution was less‚ the mass of the beetroot increased. This happened because water moved from the dilute sugar solution where there was a high water potential‚ into the

change in weight of potato tubers‚ this was conducted in order to explore the process of diffusion and osmosis and more importantly to investigate the question of “Does different concentrations of sucrose solutions have an effect on the final weight for the potato tubers?” In this experiment we estimated the osmolarity of potato tuber cores by submersing different potato cores into sucrose solutions of 0.0-0.6M‚ and weighing the potato. The results showed the weight of the potato tubers had the highest

Diffusion and Osmosis Exercise I. Molecules are always in constant movement. Molecular motion is a form of energy‚ the kinetic energy of molecules. The Brownian movement is the movement of small particles caused by the bombardment of the particles by millions of water molecule. This movement will continue indefinitely as long as there is water. My prediction for this lab is the solution of the water is hypertonic meaning there is a higher concentration of solutes outside of the cell. To test my prediction

bless you! Cassien TWAGIRIMANA ABSTRACT The Irish potato is one of major food tuber crops grown in Rwanda. It plays a key role in food consumption‚ nutritional security and reduction of hunger. Potato plant like other tuber crops requires sufficient supply of several essential elements for proper growth and function. It is a gross feeder and exploiting greater volume of soil nutrients including nitrogen‚ phosphorous‚ potassium and water. Potato production has become very important in Rwanda in

Practical Work Nº2: “Different methods to control osmosis” Aim: observe and test the process of osmosis through different kinds of methods: the weigh (potato)‚ the density (beetroot) and under the light microscope (onion). Hypothesis: according to the encyclopedia definition osmosis is the diffusion of a liquid (most often assumed to be water‚ but it can be any liquid solvent) through a partially-permeable membrane from a region of high solvent potential to a region of low solvent potential. Thus

that the primary structure of a cell membrane is made up of a double layer of phospholipids molecules. The hydrophilic heads of the phospholipid molecules face outwards towards the water base solutions inside and outside the cell. The membrane is also made up of proteins‚ carbohydrate molecules‚ and cholesterol that form gates and pores‚ cell recognition‚ and stability. Active transport is used when a cell needs a substance to cross the membrane against its concentration gradient using protein carriers

between‚ necessary units called cells are constantly keeping your body in a living condition. Robert Hooke is who identified and named cells. “He thought that the small ‚ simple units looked like the bare prison cells. His work launched a new frontier in scientific exploration that led to modern cell theory; all living things are made of cells‚ cells are the basic units of structure and function in all living things‚ and all cells come from the reproduction of existing cells.” (Moulton‚ 2004).
