Lab Report: Diffusion And Osmosis
My First Lab Report: Diffusion and Osmosis To begin, this is my first time doing an experiment and a lab report for biology’s class. Although, it was a little hard at the beginning, my team and I got the hang of it and we finished it on time. It was actually kind of fun.
There were three steps in the experiment:
3.1 A – Molecular Movement: In this session, I was observing a sample and determining if there was a movement or not.
3.1B –Diffusion through semi-permeable membrane dialysis tube: In this second part, my team did an experiment to prove if there was movement inside and outside the dialysis tube.
3.2B-Osmosis in plant’s cells: In the last step of the experiment, we were observing two different samples of plant’s cells and determining

Following this last procedure, we place the dialysis tube inside the beaker and make sure it was under water. Final, we drop some drops of IKI2 in the water and we wait 30 minutes to see if there was some a change in the dialysis tube. As a result, there was change in the color of the glucose starch bag going from its original color to a dark black color. For this we developed the conclusion that the IKI2 that we drop in the water went inside the bag. For the second half of this experiment we did the sugar test with three samples: water, water from the beaker and starch from the glucose starch and place in different test tubes. Then we drop three drops of Benedict’s test to each test tube. After that we place the tubes in a beaker with boiling water to see what changes occur. First, the water did not change as we expect, the glucose starch tube went black as we expect, and the water from the beaker with IKI2 took a yellow-orange color. By this change in the color of the test tube water we got to the conclusion that there was diffused, moving of particles from high concentration to low concentration, in two times because at the same time that IKI2 went inside the bag, some glucose starch went outside the

    of dialysis tubing, 25 mL of sucrose solutions with concentrations of 0.02 Molar, 0.04M, 0.06M, 0.08M, 1.0M, as well as 25mL of distilled water, six 250 mL beakers, a balance, and paper towels. We first cut the dialysis tubing into 6 pieces, each 1ft. long, and placed them into a beaker of water. We then tied off the dialysis tubing and poured 25 mL of distilled water in. We repeated this with the rest of the five pieces dialysis tubing, pouring a different molarity of sucrose solution in different dialysis tubes. After all the tubes were filled and tied, we then dried the bags and weigh each one on the scale. After all the data was recorded, we filled all the beakers about ¾ full of distilled water, placed the bags into each beaker in unison, and waited 30 minutes. Next, the bags were removed from the beakers, dried, and weighed separately. We expected the mass to increase with increasing molarity because with the higher the concentrations, more water would need to be diffused into the bag to reach…

    2. Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to help give visual understanding of diffusion which is a solution of high concentration spontaneously (no energy required) moving to an area of low concentration. Also taking a look at osmosis, which is the movement of chemicals across the cell membrane. Osmosis requires some type of energy to be put in for this to happen. After these experiments we should have a better idea and visualization of how chemicals transfer across the cell membrane.…

    Seal the end if it is not already closed. Next, pick up a pipette and fill it with glucose. (Use this pipette only for glucose) then release the glucose into the dialysis tubing. Place four more pipettes full of glucose into the dialysis tubing. Now it is time to get another pipette (not the one used for glucose) and fill it with starch and release it into the dialysis tubing. Repeat this 4 (four) more times until there is a total of 5 pipettes of glucose and 5 pipettes of starch in the dialysis tubing. Mix the solution. Next, seal the dialysis tubing completely and make sure there is little to no air left in the dialysis tubing. Rise the bag with water. Next, fill a 400ml beaker with 300ml of water. Add 5 pipettes of Lugol´s into the 300ml of water. Mix the solution gently. Place the dialysis tubing bag into the 400ml beaker and leave for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes remove the bag and record your findings. Get 3 test tubes and label them “control” “bag” and “beaker” Next fill an unused pipette with water and pour it into the control test tube. Open the dialysis tubing and fill a pipette of the solution inside using an unused pipette. Repeat again and pour into the bag test tube. Place two pipettes of the beaker solution into the beaker tube. Add one pipettes of Benedict´s into each tube Heat all tubes for three minutes. Record…

The glucose molecules were able to diffuse from the right beaker to the left beaker until equilibrium was reached, allowing both sides of the beaker to contain the same concentration of glucose. The albumin was not able to diffuse through the 200 MWCO membrane because it was too large thus resulting in osmotic pressure within the left side of the beaker.…

    Diffusion is the molecular net movement from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. For instance, when a person is smoking, the smoke diffuses into the air. The molecules in the smoke, released from the cigarette, travel through the air. Here is how it occurs. When molecules are close enough, they collide with each other, their kinetic energy changes. Due to the direct relationship between diffusion and molecular kinetic energy, the molecules move away from the point of the collision as their kinetic energy is redirected. Therefore, molecules always tend to distribute themselves throughout the area they stay. It continues until dynamic equilibrium is reached, that is, no net movement happens. Molecules at that time are still in motion, but the amount of molecules moving in one direction equals to the amount of molecules moving in the other direction.…

    After the dialysis tubing soaked in the distilled water overnight, the measurements showed that the dialysis tubing increased in mass. The initial weight of the dialysis tubing was 19.08 grams, but it went up to 19.34 grams after sitting in the distilled water for some time. The amount of distilled water in the beaker also decreased. There used to be 200 mL of distilled water in the beaker, but it decreased to 199 mL after the dialysis tubing soaked in it. The data collected supports the claim that water moves into the dialysis tubing to try to even out the concentration. In this experiment, the dialysis tubing is used in place of a red blood cell. In this case then, the data collected supports the claim that red blood cells appear bigger because…

    My hypothesis is: By changing the concentration of sugar, I think that the water will move from a high water concentration to a low concentration via osmosis. I predict that the more sugar concentration there is, the rate of osmosis will increase and therefore will have an effect on the results of the experiment.…
