Osmosis Experiment

Materials

Grapes (unblemished)
Raisins (larger is better)
Water
Salt
Four small containers (i.e., drinking cups or clear glasses)
A metric ruler

Methods and Procedure
Place 1 cup (236 ml) of water in each of the 4 containers.
In 2 of the containers, add 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of table salt and mix well.
Measure the length and width of a raisin and place it in 1 of the plain water containers. Measure the length and width of a second raisin and place it in one of the salt water containers.
Measure the length and width of a grape and place it in the second of the plain water containers. Measure the

There are a pair of kidneys that are 1% of the weight or account for 25% of cardiac output. They spend a large amount of blood and they represent a 20 to 25% of cardiac output they control the concentration of most of the constituents of the body fluids and excrete the end products of metabolism. All living things, whether aquatic or terrestrial, are required to osmoregulation or osmotic pressure regulation. Many of them have managed to survive at hipotónicos or hipertónicos means by physical or chemical mechanisms to avoid changes of osmotic presión in their domestic environment. Kidneys through osmoregulation absorb large amounts of water to filter blood continually, but contouring tubes and the loop of Henle reabsorbe virtually all the water and a variable amount of

    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.…

    Diffusion and Osmosis are two concepts that go hand in hand with each other. Diffusion is simply described as the movement of a substance from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration. In another words, the substance will move down its concentration gradient which is “the region along which the density of a chemical substance increases or decreases” (Campbell Biology pg. 132). If you understand the concept of diffusion then osmosis is a very simple process. It can be defined as the diffusion of water across a permeable membrane. Osmosis can be cellular or artificial, so even though we are creating artificial cells in this lab, it is still considered to be osmosis. During osmosis, a solvent is trying to get through a selectively permeable membrane to make the concentration of that solvent the same on both sides of the membrane. The rate of osmosis depends on the type of environment the cell is in. There are three different environments that a cell can find itself in, a hypertonic environment, a hypotonic environment, or an isotonic environment. The environment a cell is in will determine its tonicity which is “the ability of a surrounding solution to cause a cell to gain or lose…

    In this experiment, we will investigate the effect of solute concentration on osmosis. A semi‐permeable membrane (dialysis tubing) and sucrose will create an osmotic environment similar to that of a cell. Using different concentrations of sucrose (which is unable to cross the membrane) will allow us to examine the net movement of water across the membrane.
