creating a hypotonic solution. The increase in water inside the cell causes the cell to become engorged and erupt. In a hypertonic environment‚ water will leave the cell‚ as the amount of water in the cell is higher than that outside of the cell. As a cell looses water in a hypertonic environment it becomes smaller in size and withers. Isotonic environments are preferred by most microbes for the most advantageous growth‚ although some live in slightly hypotonic solutions. (Alonzo‚ 2008) Growth

investigation how sugar solutions of different concentrations affect osmosis. Research Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a partially permeable membrane from a dilute solution to one of a higher concentration. If a solution has a low concentration then the amount of (in the case of my investigation) sugar‚ the solute‚ will be low and the solution will be weak. If there is high amount of sugar then the solution will be concentrated (have a high concentration). When two solutions are divided

in an aqueous solution. The solution is treated with reagents to test for reaction characteristics of certain ions‚ which may cause color change‚ solid forming and other obvious visible changes. The cations to be studied include some common alkaline earth metals‚ group 13 and Zn2+. These ions are not colored in solution‚ and most of their compounds are white. It is impossible therefore to use colors of solutions or precipitates to indicate which of these cations is present in solution. Instead‚ in

Osmosis investigation Aim: To investigate how sugar concentration affects the mass or size of a potato and find out the sugar solution. Introduction: Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane form a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration until the concentration on both sides is equal. This means that osmosis is like diffusion involving water molecules. Osmosis occurs across a partially permeable membrane‚ with holes

Exploration Research Question What is the effect of different concentrations of sucrose in a solution on the mass and surface area of a beetroot (Beta Vulgaris) piece? Background The membrane consists of a phospholipid bilayer which is semi permeable. Osmosis is the passive movement of water molecules from an area of high water potential to an area of low water potential across a semi-permeable membrane. It is easy for water molecules to pass through this membrane however solutes that are big in

an area of high concentration of sucrose solution to an area of lower concentration of sucrose solution‚ through a selectively permeable membrane. The water molecules move down a concentration gradient in osmosis. Two diagrams of osmosis are shown in figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 shows the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of highly concentrated sucrose solution to an area of lower concentrated sucrose solution. Figure 2 shows a concentration gradient

and Absorbance Solution colour results from the absorbance of some light wavelengths by solutes dissolved in solution‚ while allowing other wavelengths to pass through (transmittance). The combination of the remaining wavelengths that pass through results in the colour of the solution. A colorimeter can be used to determine the amount of light at a particular wavelength that is absorbed/transmitted by a solution. Depending on the concentration of the solute in the solution‚ more or less absorbance/transmittance

Determining the Concentration of a solution: Beer’s Law Objective In this lab of Determining the concentration of a unknown solution: Beers Law. We determined the concentration of a unknown CuSO4 solution by measuring its absorbance with the colorimeter. With all the calculations we were able to solve the linear regression Equation of absorbance vs. concentration and the alternate method.

In this study‚ we found that the growth of the duckweed thalli did not have a significant difference in the NP solution and the creek water solution. Although we found that the duckweed grows faster in the NP solution‚ rather than the creek water they do indeed have relatively the same mean. Overall our results supports our hypothesis. This also makes us question what kinds of factors are affecting the creek water to kill off the duckweed. Duckweed also is known to stop the growth of algae‚ but in
