beaker into the sac‚ where its concentration was lower. This caused the fluid column to rise in the tube. 12) Define the following terms: Diffusion: Movement of molecules from an area higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis: Diffusion of water through a water permeable membrane from higher concentration to an area of lower water concentration. Simple diffusion: Movement of molecules from higher concentration to a lower concentration. Uses kinetic energy of the diffusing

happen if bag 1 is placed in a beaker of distilled water? It would swell in volume because the solution inside would be hypotonic compared to the distilled water and the distilled water would move into the bag to the higher concentration. 5. Osmosis is how excess salts that accumulate in cells are transferred to the blood stream so they can be removed from the body. Explain how you think this process works in terms of tonicity. The solution of salts inside the cell are hypertonic in comparison

The Effect of Solute Concentration on the Mass of Apples Introduction Background: This lab involves the testing and measuring of water potential. Water potential (ψ) is the tendency of water to diffuse from one region to another. It measures the free energy available in water to do work. Pure water has a water potential of 0 (kpa--unit?). Water will move from an area of higher water potential to an area of lower water potential. Several factors‚ including temperature‚ pressure (ψp) and solute concentration

Caroline Phillips Lab 3: The Cell Purpose During this lab I hope to acquire a complete understanding of the makeup of the cell and all of its functions. Hypothesis If I complete this lab‚ then I will have a full understanding of the topics covered in the chapter “The Cell” and will have a complete understanding of the makeup of the cell and all of its functions.

Investigating the Water Potential of a Potato. I have been asked to investigate the water potential of a potato. During my investigation I will not actually be able to measure a value for‚ as it is a pressure value (kPa). Osmosis is a special form of diffusion involving only water molecules. It is defined as "The passage of water from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential through a partially permeable membrane" Definition of Water Potential. The potential for water

Membranes allow the diffusion by letting certain molecules pass through it. Small pores in the semi (selectively) permeable membranes‚ which flow only towards one way‚ allow the process of osmosis to continue. These pores let only tiny molecules to go through them. One example might be the dialysis tubing in which a membrane made of a regenerated cellulose fibers formed into a flat tube. If two solutions containing dissolved substances of different

molecules in or out of their membrane. Some require no energy to do so (passive transport) while others require energy to be processed through (active transport). There is also the transportation of water across a membrane‚ which has its own term of osmosis. Too much of something can be taken in‚ or too little enters. This especially happens to plants‚ who require water (and sun) to live. Not enough water‚ as herbalists or any plant lover will know‚ will cause the plant to wilt. However‚ why consider
