higher concentration ( hypertonic ) to a region of lower concentration ( hypotonic solution ) through a cell membrane or other semi-permeable membrane until an equilibrium is reached. It is a special case of diffusion called “ passive transport “ which means no energy is required. Diffusion is the movement of a substance by which the molecules move from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Aim Our aim of the experiment was to observe and investigate the process

Experiment #1 Date: September 13‚ 2011 Title: Diffusion in Gases I Aim: To observe the diffusion of bromine Apparatus and Materials: Glass tube‚ bromine‚ fume chamber Diagram: Procedure: -Liquid bromine was placed in a jar and covered Observations: When first placed in the jar the original color of bromine was red-brown. As it began to diffuse its color changed from dark brown to a lighter brown until it becomes a yellow-like orange color. As it was diffusing liquid bromine changes its state

Cultural Diffusion and its Influence on Europe and Sub Saharan Africa Both Europe and Sub Saharan Africa was and still is a melting pot consisted of a blend of races and cultures that has integrated into a cohesive whole. Take The Melting Pot restaurant as an example; The rich blend of the chocolate sauces can resemble a specific culture such as strawberry‚ white‚ dark‚ raspberry‚ etcetera‚ but when they are mixed together‚ the melting pot creates a swirl that symbolizes the blending of one culture

Joshua Annan Biology Section-04 Diffusion and Osmosis December 14‚2012 Alexis‚ Adiba‚ Elliot and Joey Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to get a better understanding of osmosis and diffusion in molecules. We will do this by studying different solutions and how they move through the permeable membrane. Hypothesis: The three different possible predictions were the lab were that the mass would stay the same‚ the mass will increase‚ or the mass will decrease

Effect of Temperature on Salt Diffusion Rates and it’s Relation to the Human Body Hypothesis: Ordinary table salt is known to dissolve easily in water. Dissolving or diffusion is the spreading of particles in another substance. This is seen when smoke from a chimney diffuses in the air around it‚ or when dropping coloring in water. When NaCl‚ sodium chloride‚ or otherwise known as ordinary table salt is combined with water the separate salt and water molecules will be attracted to each other

ABSTRACT A molecular diffusion experiment was conducted with the goal of determining the diffusion coefficient of acetone into air. For this experiment‚ acetone was placed in a capillary tube and was allowed to diffuse into non-diffusing air that was passed over the test tube at the temperature of 50oC.Thetemperature is kept constant and air stream is passed over the top of the tube to ensure that the partial pressure of the vapor is transferred from the surface of the liquid to be air stream bymolecular

Which MWCO dialysis membranes allowed both of these ions through?50‚100‚ 200 4. Which materials diffused from the left beaker to the right beaker? Urea‚ NaCl and glucose diffused 5. Which did not? Why? Albumin was too large to diffuse into the right beaker. Activity 2: Simulating Dialysis 6. What happens to the urea concentration

Osmosis and Diffusion During the past few weeks in my Ag Biology class we have been learning about and reviewing both osmosis and diffusion. We did two different labs‚ one on osmosis; the other on diffusion. The first lab we did was our diffusion lab. We learned that diffusion is moving something from an area of high concentration to a low concentration. We were showed that Mio and other flavor drops perform diffusion when put in water as an example. For the lab part we put a mixture of starch

AP Biology Osmosis and Diffusion Lab I. Introduction: Diffusion is vital to many life functions of a cell‚ it allow the transportation of vitally important nutrients and compounds without the expenditure of excess metabolic energy. To explain diffusion‚ it is as if a bottle of perfume is opened at one end of the room‚ then in a short amount of time a person at the other end of the room can detect the scent of the perfume; this is the process of diffusion. Diffusion is a movement from a higher

Simple diffusion The term simple diffusion refers to a process whereby a substance passes through a membrane without the aid of an intermediary such as a integral membrane protein. The force that drives the substance from one side of the membrane to the other is the force of diffusion. In order for substances to pass through a cell membrane by simple diffusion it must penetrate the hydrophobic core of the phospholipid bilayer. The types of molecules that can do this are themselves substantially
