Analysis

In the 1st experiment, as the concentration got higher, generally, the mass of the potatoes got lower, but the graph did not end up as a sigmoid curve which it is supposed to look like. In the 2nd experiment, as the concentration go higher, the mass of the potatoes got lower. The graph looks more like a graph with a sigmoid curve in but still, it is not exactly right, even though I did everything to make it a fair test and get the most accurate results.

My prediction is half correct. In some cases it is correct because the concentration is higher and the mass of the potato is lower, but in other cases the mass of the potato gets higher, which I did not predict. For example, on the 1st experiment at 2 and 4 concentrations the mass of the potato goes up and the same happens on the 2nd experiment at the 6% concentration.

    When a substance is released into an area, the random movement of its molecules results in a multitude of collisions. These collisions, in turn, lead to a dispersion of the molecules. The overall movement of the molecules will be from an area of high concentration, where there will be more collisions, to areas of low concentration, where the number of collisions will be much less. This process of dispersion will continue until there is no net gain or loss of molecules in an area. The process by which this equilibrium occurs is called diffusion. Diffusion is vitally important to biology on many levels; individual cells, organelles, and even whole organisms rely on diffusion to carry out the processes essential to life. One especially important aspect of diffusion is osmosis, or the diffusion of water. This often occurs across a semi-permeable membrane…

    Diffusion is the molecular net movement from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. For instance, when a person is smoking, the smoke diffuses into the air. The molecules in the smoke, released from the cigarette, travel through the air. Here is how it occurs. When molecules are close enough, they collide with each other, their kinetic energy changes. Due to the direct relationship between diffusion and molecular kinetic energy, the molecules move away from the point of the collision as their kinetic energy is redirected. Therefore, molecules always tend to distribute themselves throughout the area they stay. It continues until dynamic equilibrium is reached, that is, no net movement happens. Molecules at that time are still in motion, but the amount of molecules moving in one direction equals to the amount of molecules moving in the other direction.…

    The purpose of this lab was to observe the rate of osmosis and diffusion, as well as the effect of molecular size of the particles on this rate. Part I of the lab was a demonstration of osmosis and diffusion, that dealt with raisins in different liquid environments, each with a different concentration of sugar. Part IV of the lab was using the same idea as the demonstration, by putting objects in different concentrations of a substance; in this case elodea leaves in salt water. In both cases, the objects in a greater concentration of the substance were stripped of their water. However, where there was a little or no concentration of sugar or salt, the objects did not lose their water, and in the case of the raisin, became saturated with excess…

    Osmosis And Diffusion

    Osmosis is the diffusion of a solvent across a selectively permeable membrane that occurs in response to differences in solute concentrations (Allen and Harper 2014).Osmosis can fall under the category of passive transport which does not require energy. With osmosis being a type of diffusion it is viewed as molecules moving from a high concentration to a low concentration. To further explain if there is a low water concentration, high amounts of solutes will be present. Water will most likely move to areas where the solute concentration is high, which demonstrates why there would be less water concentration.…
