    Investigating Osmosis

    • 651 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration‚ to an area of low concentration. So‚ Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area where there are lots of water molecules to an area where there are few water molecules. Our aim is to find the concentration of dissolved substances in the cells of a potato using Osmosis. I predict that the potato in the higher concentration of salt

    Osmosis Coursework How does the amount of sugar in a water solution affect the process of Osmosis in potatoes? Introduction In this experiment‚ I will be looking to investigate the effect of varying concentration of a sugar solution on the amount of osmotic activity between the solution and a potato chip of a given size. The potato chips were cut to size‚ then added to a water based sugar solution‚ where the variable was the amount of sugar added. The potato chips were cut to size by a potato

    Diffusion of Ammonium hydroxide with red litmus paper Definition of diffusion 1. Diffusion is the process in which particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration in order to evenly spread out. 2 Diagram. 3. During the diffusion tube experiment I noted that firstly ammonium hydroxide was placed on to a piece of cotton wool. The cotton wool (with the ammonium hydroxide) was then placed in to a diffusion tube containing around 10 pieces of curled red

    molecules of the food coloring equally distributed in the area of the water. Osmosis is a special type of diffusion where only the water molecules move. This happens through a selectively permeable membrane. It allows water and oxygen to move freely across the membrane. Osmosis only has an effect when the cell is in a hypotonic or hypertonic solution. A hypotonic solution is when the salt concentration

    Two Organisms Allison Grant Seahorse Habitat Requirements The Seahorse is mostly found in shallow seagrass and reef habitats. They are distributed in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. The seahorse habitat is any underwater area with lots of things they can grab onto with their tails and blend into for hiding. Often they prefer an eelgrass‚ kelp‚ coral‚ rock and mangrove environment. The Seahorse prefers a tropical or temperate oceans. There are no known freshwater Seahorses

    BAEK (10Bio02) Do NOT delete anything I have written in red. Make any corrections in blue so I know what to re-read Osmosis Diffusion is the net movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Then what is osmosis? Basically‚ osmosis is the same action with diffusion but in water. To describe more precisely‚ osmosis is the net movement in water across partially permeable membrane‚ which mean the membrane allows the water to get through the
