creating ion channels). Osmosis provides the primary means by which water is transported into and out of cells. The turgor pressure of a cell is largely maintained by osmosis‚ across the cell membrane‚ between the cell interior and its relatively hypotonic environment.[8] Jean-Antoine Nollet first documented observation of osmosis in 1748.[9] The word "osmosis" descends from the words "endosmose" and "exosmose"‚ which were coined by

Nucleus- The nucleus is the control center of the cell. This is where DNA is contained. This is like the town hall or the mayor’s office because it is the control center of a town. The nucleus uses DNA like a city uses blueprints to direct the production of protein. Nucleolus- The nucleolus is where ribosome is made and is rich in RNA content. It is located inside the nucleus. A mayor is like this because the mayor makes everything in the town happen. He also works from the town hall‚ or works

Solution A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances with each substance retaining its own chemical identity. Solute – substance being dissolved. Solvent – liquid water. General Properties of a Solution 1. Contains 2 or more components. 2. Has variable composition. 3. Properties change as the ratio of solute to solvent is changed. 4. Dissolved solutes are present as individual particles. 5. Solutes remain uniformly distributed and will not settle out with time. 6. Solute

Part 1 Questions 1) What sort of environment (hypotonic‚ hypertonic‚ isotonic) did the extra fertilizer create around the roots of the corn? The extra fertilizer created hypertonic environment. 2) Keeping in mind your answer to the previous question‚ what do you believe caused the corn plants to wilt and eventually die? - I believe that the extra fertilizer having a higher concentration than the first round of fertilizer was not a good environment for the corn to try and survive in. 3)

What is the main difference between simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion? Simple diffusion moves molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration without an input of energy. Facilitated Diffusion
Premium Osmosis Diffusion
Introduction Osmosis is the movement of water from a region of higher concentration ( hypertonic ) to a region of lower concentration ( hypotonic solution ) through a cell membrane or other semi-permeable membrane until an equilibrium is reached. It is a special case of diffusion called “ passive transport “ which means no energy is required. Diffusion is the movement of a substance by which the molecules move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Aim

Cell Membrane Transport The purposes for these experiments is to be able to understand osmosis and its relationship to tonicity of solutions‚ and the transportation of molecules across cell membranes. It’s also used to understand‚ and how temperature affects diffusion. You also learn how to test for presences of starches and sugars in solutions. In the first exercise I will be testing for diffusion through an artificial membranes. This one has forty five steps to it. I will not go into
