Diffusion and Osmosis Diffusion -the process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentratiion‚ to areas of low concentration. When the molecules are even throughout a space - it is called EQUILIBRIUM DIFFUSION Concentration gradient - a difference between concentrations in a space. Molecules will always move down the concentration gradient‚ toward areas of lesser concentration. Think of food coloring that spreads out in a glass of water‚ or air freshener sprayed in a room

Osmosis Trial experiment Aim: Our aim in this experiment is to find out which vegetable absorbs the most liquid over a given time due to osmosis. Chosen Apparatus: we will need to use: six test tubes; a test tube rack; an apple; a potato; a cork borer; a measuring cylinder; sugar solution; scales to measure in milligrams; a ruler; a knife; and a pair of tweezers. Apparatus Why we chose it Advantages Alternative equipment apple Its an absorbent fruit and is similar to a potato It

Riley AP Biology Osmosis and Diffusion Lab I. Introduction: Diffusion is vital to many life functions of a cell‚ it allow the transportation of vitally important nutrients and compounds without the expenditure of excess metabolic energy. To explain diffusion‚ it is as if a bottle of perfume is opened at one end of the room‚ then in a short amount of time a person at the other end of the room can detect the scent of the perfume; this is the process of diffusion. Diffusion is a movement from

The Osmosis Lab SHS Lacrosse Monster #2 Dates performed: 10/10/11 and 10/11/11 Introduction: The purpose of the laboratory investigation was to observe the diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane. In this lab‚ dialysis tubing was used to represent the semi-permeable cell membrane. Three dialysis tubes were prepared with 5% sucrose solution and were soaked in solutions of different concentrations. The diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane is called osmosis. When

Transport of Solute in Solvent through Osmosis or Diffusion Due to Different Concentration Gradients Passing Through a Semi-permeable Membrane between Cell and Cells Environment Bio 101 Objective: The objective is to simulate passive transport: diffusion of solutes and osmosis of water through a semipermeable membrane (dialysis tubing). The experiment will show how molecules in solution move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration in the attempt to reach homeostasis

the structure of the cell keeping all organisms in alignment. Osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules through a partially permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration‚ in order to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides. We didn ’t know anything about osmosis except that it was a word in the dictionary that we never picked up. Osmosis and diffusion are similar because osmosis is the result of diffusion across a semi-permeable membrane. If two solutions of different

Abstract The objective of this experiment was to test the effect of a specialized type of diffusion called osmosis‚ “which involves in selective transport of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane” (Lab Manual 2nd edition). It was hypothesized that osmosis will occur when there is an uneven distribution of solute in a solvent. The more abundant the solute is in solvent‚ the higher the rate of osmosis through the diffusion gradient forming a hypertonic or hypotonic solution. Solvent

Introduction Diffusion and osmosis are two types of passive transport. Diffusion is a random movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Osmosis is a type of diffusion that diffuses water through a selectively permeable membrane. There were two parts to the experiment‚ the dialysis tubing lab and the potato lab. In the first experiment‚ the dialysis tubing acted as a semi-permeable membrane. A semi-permeable membrane is a membrane

xxx1 xxxxxx Ms. xxxx Biology 20 November 2013 Osmosis Lab Problem: What’s the order of the concentration for each solution and how does it affect the movement of water? Hypothesis: Experimenter thinks the order of the solutions according to their concentration is D‚A‚E‚C‚B‚ from smallest. And the water will pass through semipermeable tubing bag from low to high concentration to thin the concentration inside the bag. Osmosis is a diffusion of water particles and is one of the passive transport

Also the beaker turned orange because of osmosis which attests to glucose leaving the bag. Iodine Potassium Iodine and water entered the bag. This was proven by the color change in the starch test as the bag turned black also because of osmosis. The only thing that the hypothesis lacked was that starch did not move at all. The beaker stayed yellow before and after because the bag is not permeable to starch. 4B- The hypothesis was supported because the diffusion rate was faster shown from the agar blocks
