Osmosis Investigation We are trying to find out what the concentration of the solutions is inside the vacuole of a potato cell. We will investigate how the mass of the potato chips change in different sucrose solution concentrations. We will use osmosis to do this. I will be measuring and controlling many different variables‚ these include; - The dependent Variable Weight of potato chip Independent Variable Concentration of sucrose Control Variables consist of; - 1.

The rate of fermentation is faster when there is more sucrose concentration because it means there is more glucose‚ which in return means more carbon dioxide production. The sucrose concentrations were 0%‚ 1%‚ 5%‚ and 10%. The 0% sucrose concentration is just normal‚ plain water. Yeast‚ a single celled eukaryotic fungi‚ was put into the solutions. It uses fermentation to make more carbon dioxide and alcohol. In the 0% solution‚ no carbon dioxide had been produced. At the start‚ the depth of the

blood plasma osmolarity. Since non-invasive methods were preferred the volume and concentration of urine was used in place of drawing blood. The results that we our anticipating are that ADH levels in the group of subjects that ingested the 6 gm. Of NaCl would increase over time in response to the increased osmolarity of the blood from all of the salt. Urine output would decrease and eventually the body would stabilize. Purpose: In this experiment‚ renal regulation of osmolarity will be demonstrated

Sucrose Synthesis by D. DeWitt‚ PhD v1.5 11/10/12 Introduction | Condensation Reaction | Plant Synthesis | A. Introduction Although it might seem straight forward‚ the synthesis of sucrose‚ either as a simple condensation reaction (a.k.a. dehydration synthesis)‚ or what actually happens in plants is complicated. Before we explore sucrose’s creation‚ let’s take a look at its structure. In Figure 1‚ the space-filling model is pretty but rather useless at this point in our journey. We

the same for potato cores placed in varying concentrations of solutes of NaCl‚ glucose‚ and sucrose. This experiment was designed to test these predictions and compare them to data gathered course wide. We found that the mean water potentials were all within 0.26 bars of each other‚ and that the zero weight change osmolalities were all within 0.035 mols of each other. This supported Van’t Hoff’s predictions that water potentials and osmolalities would be the same. We had to collect potato core samples

Estimating Osmolarity by Change in Weight Abstract Optimum water content for normal physiological processes in plants is crucial. In order for normal activities to take place‚ the amount of water relative to osmotically active substance (OAS) in cells must be maintained within a reasonable range. The one way to estimate optimum water content is to find osmolarity of plants cells. Osmolarity can be indirectly measure by comparing change in weight and volume when plant cells are incubated in

The potato is a starchy‚ tuberous crop from the perennial Solanum tuberosum of the Solanaceae family (also known as the nightshades). The word may refer to the plant itself as well as the edible tuber. In the region of the Andes‚ there are some other closely related cultivated potato species. Potatoes were introduced outside the Andes region four centuries ago‚ and have become an integral part of much of the world’s cuisine. It is the world’s fourth-largest food crop‚ following rice‚ wheat and maize

Laboratory Order Form 1 DESIGN 1.1 Defining the problem Focus / Research question How does osmosis work and what effect will this have on the raisin at different sucrose concentrations? Hypothesis The raisin in the beaker with most diluted sucrose solution will gain the most mass‚ therefore the control (0% sucrose solution) should be the most successful (in relation to the aim.) Background Information / theory Osmosis may occur when there is a partially permeable membrane‚ such as

Research Project: Potato The potato originated in the South American Andes‚ but its heartland of wild genetic diversity reaches from Venezuela‚ Colombia‚ Ecuador‚ Peru‚ Bolivia‚ Argentina‚ Chile‚ Uruguay‚ Paraguay‚ southern Brazil‚ northward into Central America‚ Mexico‚ and the southwestern United States. Potato was first cultivated between 3 and 7 thousand years ago‚ some scientists believe they may have grown wild in the region as long as 13‚000 years ago. Potato is the third most important
