water molecules from a region with high concentration to a region with low concentration. 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. This process will take place until it reaches the equilibrium state‚ which means that the water molecules will be distributed until there are no regions with high or low concentrations. Plant cells have a protective layer—called

INTRODUCTION Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from high concentration to low concentration through semipermeable membranes‚ caused by the difference in concentrations on the two sides of a membrane (Rbowen‚ L.). It occurs in both animals and plants cells. In human bodies‚ the process of osmosis is primarily found in the kidneys‚ in the glomerulus. In plants‚ osmosis is carried out everywhere within the cells of the plant (World Book‚ 1997). This can be shown by an experiment with potato

report investigates the absorbance of methylene blue and carmine red using a spectrophotometer to determine the absorption spectra of both solutions. The concentration of the unknown solution of methylene blue was found to be 1.07 x 10-5 M by using the molar extinction coefficient‚ with absorption of 0.547. It was also found that the results concluded confirmed beer’s law with an R2 value of 0.9989. Introduction Spectrophotometry is the quantitative measurement of the absorbance or transmittance properties

are carrying out an investigation to find out how different concentrations of glucose affect osmosis in potato cells. Osmosis is the passive process of diffusing water which means within this experiment particles of water will move from a lower concentrated area to an area of higher concentration ; in this case it will be a concentration of glucose. Diffusion is when particles move from an area of high concentration to low concentration ; for example when a smell of cooking spreads through the house

Practical Task: To compare the concentration of vitamin C in different brands of orange juice. Juice sample provided: 0.1% vitamin C solution‚ fresh orange juice‚ You C 1000 orange water. Aim of investigation: To compare and verify the amount of vitamin C in Mr. Juicy and You C 1000 orange juice. Introduction: Problem: To compare the concentration of vitamin C Hypothesis: Concentration of vitamin C in Mr. Juicy is about 0.02 % Concentration of vitamin C in You C 1000 orange water

EXPERIMENT TO SHOW THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT CONCENTRATION OF GLUCOSE ON POTATO STRIPS INTRODUCTION: Molecules of liquid and gas are constantly in motion‚ they move randomly in all directions and bounce around in all directions and bounce around and into each other. As they move‚ they tend to spread out moving from areas with many molecules to areas with fewer molecules . This process of spreading out is called Diffusion‚ for example smell of cooking travelling around the house from the kitchen

completely unaware of the horrific events about to unfold that would overshadow their city still today. The citizens of Dachau were oblivious that their city was going to become the origin of concentration camps and of the Holocaust‚ the mass murder committed by the Nazi s in World War II. Dachau Concentration Camp‚ which would soon be placed on the edge of their community‚ would serve as a model for all Nazi extermination camps. This perfect prototype of a Nazi killing machine has come to represent

potatoes and different sucrose concentrations (0.15‚ 0.20‚ 0.25‚ 0.30‚ 0.35 and 0.50). It was expected that the potatoes would lose weight as the potatoes would have lower water potential when placed in a solution ‚ and in this can be taken from the theory of osmosis which states that “the passive diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane down a concentration gradient” (Taylor and Bruenn‚ 2009)‚ moving water from a high to a low concentration‚ so in this case water would

Aim: To investigate the effect to the potato cells in the different solute concentration water Introduction; Water can move through the different cells due to the difference of water potentials in the cells. If there is a higher solute concentration in the cell than outside the cell‚ the water will move into the cell. However‚ if the concentration of inside the cell is lower than the outside‚ water will not move into the cell. This process is called osmosis. Research question; This investigation
