How Do Hypotonic‚ Hypertonic‚ and Isotonic Solutions Affect the Water Movement of a Cell? Michael Halverson Valhalla High School El Cajon‚ California Research Host: Kim E. Barrett‚ Ph.D. University of California‚ San Diego 1997 Grade Level: High School How Do Hypotonic‚ Hypertonic‚ and Isotonic Solutions Affect the Water Movement of a Cell? Purpose: The purpose of this activity is to teach students about osmosis and the effects of hypotonic‚ hypertonic‚ and isotonic solutions on animal

Potato Lab Background information: A hypertonic solution is a concentration that is higher than the solution. A Hypotonic solution is a concentration that is lower than the solution. An isotonic solution is a concentration and solution that is the same amount. Hypothesis question: What will happen if you put a potato in hypertonic solution? What will happen if you put a potato in hypotonic solution? What will happen if you put a potato in isotonic solution? Hypothesis statement: If you

Investigating the Difference in Isotonic Point in Sweet and White Potato Research Aim: To observe whether equal sized white potato or sweet potato cores reached the isotonic point in the same concentration of sucrose solution. Introduction: Osmosis is diffusion of water from areas of high water potential to areas of low water potential. It does not require an input of energy. Plants use osmosis to transport minerals from their roots to their leaves‚ and to take in water in the soil. Because the

I have been asked to investigate the effects of osmosis on potato cell sap. I will test potato cylinders in different strengths of sucrose solution and record any results in a table. I will then analyse my findings and work out the isotonic point of the potato cell sap. Prediction I have looked at my scientific knowledge from the background theory I carried out and I will base my prediction upon this information. In this experiment‚ I expect the different concentrations to show fairly noticeable

Potato Cell Cytoplasm Composition PURPOSE: To determine the concentration of salt in the cytoplasm of potato cells HYPOTHESIS: Increase in salt concentration results in a hypotonic solution where the mass of the potato increases due to the movement of water into the cell. On the other hand‚ decrease in salt concentration results in a hypertonic solution where the mass of the potato decreases due to the movement of water outside the cell. MATERIALS: Potato Forceps Stopwatch Scalpel Test

Keegan Bauman Potato Lab Dr. Peano Block 1 Introduction: Potatoes are just your average food; they have been around for as long as the human race can remember. In this lab we will make them be a prime example of osmosis‚ which is a transport mechanism. In this lab the problem being tested was what environment affects the mass of the potatoes the most. The independent variable is the environments used salt‚ water and iodine solution. The dependent variable is the mass of the potato after being

three stages of tonicity: Isotonic‚ hypertonic and hypotonic. Four unknown solutions were given and labeled as followed: Solution A‚ Solution B‚ Solution C‚ and Solution D. Since potato cells were used for this type of experiment‚ in an Isotonic solution the solute and water concentration are the same as inside the cell in which the isotonic solution contains 0.9% NaCl. In other words‚ water moves in and out in the same amount without causing any changes. In a hypertonic environment‚ the solute concentration

of a Potato Mishal Hasan Abstract Students in Biology find it difficult to understand the concept of tonicity and osmolarity in a real time situation. In this investigation‚ several concentrations of sucrose were used to determine the osmolarity of a potato. It was found that the concentration of sucrose was close to 3.6 in the potato used showing that it was isotonic. Anything above caused the potato to gain weight showing that it was a hypotonic solution and anything below caused the potato to lose

the solution is hypotonic‚ and water will move from the solution into the cell. If the surrounding solution has a higher concentration of dissolved molecules than the cell‚ the solution is hypertonic. In that case‚ water will move from the cell out into the surrounding solution. An isotonic solution is when the concentration of dissolved molecules is the same inside and outside the cell‚ and there is no net movement of water across the membrane. When cells are placed in a hypertonic solution‚ water
