    investigate the effects of osmosis on potato cell sap. I will test potato cylinders in different strengths of sucrose solution and record any results in a table. I will then analyse my findings and work out the isotonic point of the potato cell sap. Prediction I have looked at my scientific knowledge from the background theory I carried out and I will base my prediction upon this information. In this experiment‚ I expect the different concentrations to show fairly noticeable effects on the lengths

    of water in and out of cells. Osmosis: movement of water from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential through a partially permeable membrane. High water potential = lots of free water molecules‚ low solute concentration Low water potential = very few free water molecules‚ high solute concentration Factors That Affect the Movement of Water in and out of Cells * Solute concentration * If one solution has low solute concentration and the other has high

    An experiment to investigate what affect sucrose solution has on potato tissue. Background Osmosis is the movement of water molecules‚ across a partially permeable membrane from a region of high concentration of water to a low concentration of water molecules. A partially permeable membrane is a membrane with holes in it small enough for only water to go through it. Big molecules like glucose cannot fit through it. Osmosis allows plants to take in water through their roots‚ and is also used

    What is osmosis? Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a semi permeable membrane. Why is it important? It is important to know what Osmosis is‚ and to understand it so that we understand what we are measuring‚ and so that we can use this understanding to apply to other situations so that we can gain further knowledge. We can also use this understanding to analyse our results. What we will do: We will put potato pieces of similar sizes in to test tubes of different concentrations

    Observing osmosis‚ plasmoylsis and turgor in plant cells Investigation * Get a single layer of plant cells. If you are using red onion‚ cut a 1 cm square from a fleshy piece of onion and then peel off a single layer of the red cells. If you are using rhubarb‚ peel a piece from the epidermis. If you are using toadflax peel a piece of the lower epidermis of a leaf. * Place the strip on a slide and cover it with a drop or two of distilled water. Add a cover slip. * Look at the cells through

    http://thegrabup.com/?p=811 Significance Of Osmosis (700-1200) Osmosis is a process of movement of solvent through a semi permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration to equalize the concentration of solute to both side of the membrane. . Water is sometimes called "the perfect solvent‚" and living tissue (for example‚ a human being’s cell walls) is the best example of a semipermeable membrane. Osmosis process as demonstrated below shows that when

    The Effect of Osmosis on a Potato Cell October 12th 2012 Osmosis Lab Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to investigate the effects of osmosis on a potato cell as it is immersed for a period of time in solutions of different water concentrations. Hypothesis: If the potato is immersed into the distilled water‚ then it will be the heaviest out of the three. This is because water is at the lower is moving toward the area of higher concentration‚ which in this case is the potato. This

    INTRODUCTION: Osmosis is defined as the net movement of water or any other solutions molecules from a region in which they are highly concentrated to a region in which they are less concentrated. This movement must take place across a partially permeable membrane such as a cell wall‚ which lets smaller molecules such as water through but does not allow bigger molecules to pass through. The molecules will continue to diffuse until the area in which the molecules are found reaches a state of equilibrium

    Potato Cell Cytoplasm Composition PURPOSE: To determine the concentration of salt in the cytoplasm of potato cells HYPOTHESIS: Increase in salt concentration results in a hypotonic solution where the mass of the potato increases due to the movement of water into the cell. On the other hand‚ decrease in salt concentration results in a hypertonic solution where the mass of the potato decreases due to the movement of water outside the cell. MATERIALS: Potato Forceps Stopwatch Scalpel Test
