molecular weight is‚ the faster the diffusion gets. The Starch did not pass through the membrane because it is composed of Polysaccharide made up of many Glucose molecules‚ which makes it heavier than one single Glucose molecule to pass through.

a dynamic structure which gives them their remarkable activity and selectivity. (Hickman‚ 2008). Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to a lower concentration until they reach Equilibrium. (Hickman‚ 2008).Osmosis happens when water diffuses across the membrane from the region of lower solute concentration (higher free water concentration) to that of higher solute concentration (lower free water concentration) until the solute concentrations on both sides of

Osmosis is the passive diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from a down a concentration gradient. The water potential of a system is the tendency for water to exit the system. In this experiment the aim was to measure the

will be able to freely cross the membrane and do not affect tonicity because they will always be in equal concentrations on both sides of the membrane. Also‚ water will flow from a hypotonic solution to hypertonic. 4- Explain the direction of osmosis and effects of tonicity (hypotonic‚ hypertonic‚ or isotonic) in plant and animal cells. Use lab results in your explanation. If a cell is placed in an isotonic solution‚ the cell will maintain its normal volume because no osmotic pressure is occurred

ACTIVITY ONE- Cell Transport Mechanisms and Permeability: Simulating Dialysis (Simple Diffusion) 1. Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. Molecular weight affects the rate of diffusion because the bigger the size of the molecule the longer it will take to diffuse. Membrane size is another variable that affects the rate of diffusion because if the membrane’s pores are small it will take molecules longer to diffuse though it than if the pores were larger. Also‚ membrane thickness

Investigating the water potential of a potato Aim Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of high water concentration to a low water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. Our aim is to investigate the water potential of a potato through osmosis‚ by finding the difference in weight before and after the potato has been set in a solution of water‚ sugar or salt. Trial Method Firstly we collected the equipment. This included a scalpel‚ potato cutter‚ and test tubes. Then

Does being unable to observe diffusion necessarily mean that diffusion is not taking place? yes you should be able to tell when equilibrium is reached Osmosis Activity 4: Osmosis 1.
