    Anjali Patel Riley Egan‚ Nick Morrison 10/2/13 Block 2 LAB REPORT OUTLINE FOR DIFFUSION/OSMOSIS LAB Introduction: Diffusion is the net movement of small or uncharged molecules or substances from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. There is simple diffusion‚ as explained‚ and facilitated diffusion. Facilitated diffusion‚ on the other hand‚ involves larger or charged molecules or substances that need a protein tunnel through the membrane to help the substance enter and

    Diffusion & Osmosis 9/16/14-9/19/14; Jessica Bullock‚ Andrew Buchholz‚ Kristamae Masiclat    TITLE: Different Ways to Express Diffusion and Osmosis   INTRODUCTION: Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of a substance down its concentration gradient‚ from a region where it is more concentrated to a region where it is less concentrated. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane. The objective of this lab is to observe the different effects of diffusion and osmosis through

    amount of sucrose concentrations. The higher molarity concentrations increased the movement of water to balance out the inside of the tube and the beaker. The greater amount of concentration gradient‚ in each tube‚ increased the rate of osmosis. This rate of osmosis is due to the net movement of water from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. Because the tubes had different concentrations‚ certain tubes gained more mass than others. Solution A had 0.6 molarity which increased

    DIFFUSION AND OSMOSIS Chapter 3 of your textbook explains diffusion and osmosis. Diffusion is simply the net movement of atoms or molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. The force behind the movement is heat or kinetic energy (also called Brownian motion). Diffusion occurs when you spill water on the carpet floor and it spreads out‚ or when you open a bottle of perfume and it leaves the bottle and spreads throughout the air in the room. Osmosis is a similar

    biological importance of water Water‚ the most abundant compound on the planet‚ is a material which is essential for all living organisms. Its uses in all living things cover a huge variety of everyday functions which are immeasurably important to the continuity of the organism. The fact that water makes up between 60 and 95 percent of all living organisms speaks for itself on the incredible biological importance of this compound. One of the major functions of water in living organism is its use

    Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to demonstrate osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane (Bell et al 2004). Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration (Brown 1999). Hypertonic is the solution with a higher salt concentration. Hypotonic solution is the solution with the lower salt concentration. My hypothesis is that the potato core will increase in size. When the solution is

    Osmosis Lab Conclusion The purpose of this lab is to determine whether salt affects the movement of water in the cell. Independent variable is the factor that affects the value of variables dependent to it. In osmosis lab‚ the independent variables are the potato and onions. The dependent variable is the variable whose value is measured to determine the extent of the effect of another variable to it‚ as in an experiment. In osmosis lab‚ the dependent variable is the length of the potato. The controlled

    Lab Report on Osmosis and Diffusion Biology 1‚ Period 3 March 15‚ 2010 Lab Team: Jason Perez‚ Kicia Long‚ Chris McLemore Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to observe the acts of passive transport: diffusion and osmosis in a model membrane system. The experiment will show how molecules in solution move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. The model membrane is dialysis tubing. Materials Used 2.5 cm dialysis tubing 15% glucose
