temperature of the water‚ the more osmosis occurred. Introduction Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane from an area which is more concentrated to less concentrated. The objective of this lab was to determine if certain factors affect the amount of osmosis through a cell membrane‚ which in other words is how much water is passing through the membrane with the process of Osmosis. Temperature was the factor chosen to test its effect upon

Dialysis (Simple Diffusion) 1. Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. Molecular weight affects the rate of diffusion because the bigger the size of the molecule the longer it will take to diffuse. Membrane size is another variable that affects the rate of diffusion because if the membrane’s pores are small it will take molecules longer to diffuse though it than if the pores were larger. Also‚ membrane thickness is a variable because the thinner the membrane the quicker the

Formal Scientific Lab Report Osmosis Katy Hunter 10-26-2012 Abstract: The objectives of this lab was to be able to create models of cells with the dialysis tubing to show us how the plasma membrane is selectively permeable‚ to study the effects of osmosis on a model cell‚ and to foresee the effect of solute concentration on osmosis. In order to achieve these objectives‚ we had to fill the dialysis tubing with either water‚ or different amounts of sucrose. We then tied off the tubes and put

basic facts. We define diffusion as movement of materials from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. This movement is due to kinetic energy of particles. An example of this can be observed by opening a bottle of perfume. Soon you will smell the perfume in distant parts of the room. It diffuses from the high concentration of molecules in the bottle to a lower concentration of molecules in the air. Osmosis is a type of diffusion. It involves movement of

Discuss the composition of the cell membrane‚ and how membrane molecules may differ among organisms‚ within an organism‚ and even within a cell. 2. What factors affect membrane fluidity‚ and how? Why is the cell membrane referred to as a “fluid matrix”? 3. Describe the properties of peripheral and integral membrane proteins and discuss membrane protein movement within the membrane. 4.

INTRODUCTION The passage of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane is a special case of diffusion known as osmosis. Osmosis results in the movement of water from an area of lower concentration of dissolved material to an area of higher concentration of dissolved material. For a demonstration of this principle‚ a purple onion cell is going to be bathed in different
