Oak tree Surround the cells with a rigid wall that can withstand the pressure that builds up inside the cells dues to the inflow of water by osmosis. Paramecium Use contractile vacuoles to actively pump water out of the cells. Humans Surround the cells with an isotonic extracellular fluid. If 2 solutions have unequal concentrations of solutes‚ the solution with the higher solute concentration

Some potatoes increased in mass while others decreased due to osmosis. Potatoes that had a higher concentration increased in mass because water passed through the membrane into the potato in an effort to dilute it. Potatoes that had a lower concentration than the solution decreased in mass because water flowed through

minutes and record your observations in the data table 5. While you are waiting‚ answer the questions. Questions: 1. Define diffusion – the movement of particles from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration 2. Define osmosis - the movement of particles from low solute concentration to and area of high solute concentration across a semi-permeable membrane. 3. Why is iodine called an “indicator”? Iodine is called an indicator because it can detect the presence of

The results provide evidence that when there was an increase in the sodium chloride concentration the mass of the potato prisms declined. At the zero percent concentration there was an increase of mass by 1.75%‚ from there the 1%‚ 3%‚ 5% and 10% begun on a downward trend with the percentage change in mass declining. The graph was on a steady decline from 0% being the highest point with a change of mass of 1.75% finishing with the 10% solution on a decline of -12.28%. From observing the scatter plot

Review Sheet 1 Results 1. Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. Your answer: Two variables that affect the rate of diffusion are the MWCO membrane and the solute concentration. Increasing the membrane size and solute concentration will also increase the average diffusion rate. Decreasing the membrane size and solute concentration will reduce diffusion rates and can even prevent all diffusion. 2. Why do you think the urea was not able to diffuse through the 20 MWCO membrane

Aim The aim is to find the concentration (mole/dm3 (M)) of solute in a potato cell by using the process of osmosis and different concentrations of sucrose solution. Background information Osmosis is diffusion of water across a partially permeable membrane. It moves from a solution with less solute concentration (high water potential) to a solution with more solute concentration (low water potential). The one with a high water concentration is called a hypotonic solution and the low water concentration

one result of this molecular movement. Diffusion is the random movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion where water moves through a selectively permeable membrane (a membrane that only allows certain molecules to diffuse though). Diffusion or osmosis occurs until dynamic equilibrium has been reached. This is the point where the concentrations in both areas are equal and no net movement will occur from one

Solution A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances with each substance retaining its own chemical identity. Solute – substance being dissolved. Solvent – liquid water. General Properties of a Solution 1. Contains 2 or more components. 2. Has variable composition. 3. Properties change as the ratio of solute to solvent is changed. 4. Dissolved solutes are present as individual particles. 5. Solutes remain uniformly distributed and will not settle out with time. 6. Solute

(NaCl) concentrations of 0.1M‚ 0.2M‚ 0.3M‚ 0.4M‚ 0.5M‚ 0.6M. Hypothesis: When the water concentration of a solution outside the cell is lower than the concentration inside the cell‚ water will move from the inside to the outside of the cell due to osmosis. As we increase the concentration of the NaCl solutions we have used (0.1M to 0.6M)‚ more moles of NaCl are dissolved in the solution. Thus‚ the solutions increases in solute concentration but decreases in water concentration. We can therefore assume;

Introduction In this Lab the students dealt with Osmosis‚ movement of water molecule or solvent from a high concentration to a low concentration‚ through selective permeability‚ a protective barrier that provide some particle the ’direct ’ passage in and out of the plasma membrane ( Lacerda L.2011) Allowing some molecules enter and exit the cell membrane‚ to create a balance in concentration inside and outside of the cell‚ by doing so the cell often become hypotonic‚ where the concentration
