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

simple diffusion and understand how to make % solutions. Exercise 2 demonstrated the principle of osmosis: observing the movement of water by osmosis from an area of lower concentration of a solute to an area of higher concentration of a solute. Materials and Method: Refer to pages 47-51 of Bio 203L Lab Manual. Results/ Discussion: The effect of the chloride ion on its rate of diffusion in agar means it will diffuse faster because it is more concentrated. We graphed the diffusion of chloride

and Diffusion Lab Report Background Information: Diffusion involves the movement of solute particles across a selectively permeable membrane from higher to lower concentrations. A selectively permeable membrane allows only some thing to go through. Water and oxygen are examples of molecules that are able to go through the membrane by diffusion. The

Conclusion In this experiment‚ we measured the mass of 4 gasses; oxygen‚ carbon dioxide‚ helium‚ and lab gas. We took a Ziplock bag‚ and turned into a non-stretchy balloon‚ and filled with each gas and measured the apparent mass then calculated the actual mass‚ then find a ratio between the mass of oxygen and the other gasses. We tried to keep the pressure about the same each time so our calculations would be more accurate. We found out that the heaviest was carbon dioxide‚ and the lightest

#55 Affects of Osmosis and Diffusion Introduction: Perfume spreads in a room‚ hands bloat when left in water for too long (shriveling is a common misconception)‚ a tea bag’s contents diffuse through the water. These are all examples of diffusion and osmosis. These phenomena happen everyday and people don’t realize what is actually happening. The purpose of the lab is to see the effects of diffusion and osmosis. In part B‚ the higher the concentration of solute‚ the higher the mass of the solution

Hands On Approach to Diffusion and Osmosis Abstract A. Plant and Animal Cell Diffusion and Osmosis In this experiment we observed carmine powder to better understand the concept of Brownian motion and the role of molecular movement in diffusion. The particles continuously moved in a completely random fashion‚ and the smaller particles moved with more speed than the larger particles. B. Potato Core Experiment In this experiment we estimated the osmolarity of potato tuber tissue

One purpose of the experiment was to gain an understanding of diffusion and osmosis‚ specifically in context of a plant or animal cell reaction to an isotonic‚ hypotonic‚ or hypertonic solution. Another objective was to understand the nuances of simple diffusion‚ facilitated diffusion‚ and active transport and to explicate the characteristics affecting the rates of diffusion. The next objective was to be able to explicate the partition coefficient and its influence on hemolysis. The final objective

Diffusion and Osmosis lab Results: Figure 1a-rate of weight change in 15 min intervals of each concentration. The first tube showed very little weight change. However all other tubes show a greater change the concentration could be the factor that determines the permeability of the sucrose. The sucrose molecules are too large to pass through. Figure 1b- sucrose concentration determines the weight change. In this case based on our results as concentration increases the percent weight change

Biology – 2 Mrs. Dahle Lab 1: 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

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
