Investigating the Water Potential of a Potato. I have been asked to investigate the water potential of a potato. During my investigation I will not actually be able to measure a value for‚ as it is a pressure value (kPa). Osmosis is a special form of diffusion involving only water molecules. It is defined as "The passage of water from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential through a partially permeable membrane" Definition of Water Potential. The potential for water to move

an electric light and a dark room becomes bright. Turn on a music player and sound comes through your headphones. In both situations‚ energy moves from one place to another; effect and reaction. The two different types of energy are kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy a moving object has because of its motion. The kinetic energy of a moving object depends on the object’s mass and its speed. The kinetic energy of a moving object can be calculated from this equation: Kinetic

The subject on the medicinal aspects of Marijuana has been discussed over time. Mostly‚ the majority of people take marijuana as a drug. It is also known for its negative effects on human health. Nonetheless‚ there are some medicinal characteristics associated with this plant. The reviewed research studies in this paper address the question; does marijuana have medicinal importance and is it a good idea to legalize its use? In addition‚ the question of what hampers studies on medical effects of marijuana

Introduction Molecules are constantly in motion due to thermal energy. Therefore‚ the molecules will move around and bump into each other. Because of this‚ molecules tend to spread out evenly into available space in a process called diffusion. Diffusion is the random process of molecules moving from areas of high concentration to low concentration‚ thus requiring no energy. Many of the substances that enter or leave the cell do so through diffusion. Osmosis‚ a type of diffusion‚ is the movement

Resting potential is created by a transport protein called the sodium-potassium pump. Resting potential occurs when ions are distributed unequally on the inside and outside of cells‚ and when cell membranes are selectively permeable to different ions. K+ is particularly important for the resting potential. The membrane is highly permeable to K+. In addition‚ the inside of the cell has a high concentration of K+ and the outside of the cell has a low concentration of K+. K+ will naturally diffuse

Osmosis and Water Potential Year 11 Emary Venter INTRODUCTION: The cell is the basic unit of living things‚ and is made up of multiple organelles. Organelles are membrane bound subdivisions‚ each specialised for a specific function. This experiment looks at the Plasma Membrane‚ which is a semipermeable layer surrounding the cell. It’s primary job is to control what goes in and out of the cell. Molecules can move across this membrane in either an active movement or a passive movement
