    Diffusion of Ammonium hydroxide with red litmus paper Definition of diffusion 1. Diffusion is the process in which particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration in order to evenly spread out. 2 Diagram. 3. During the diffusion tube experiment I noted that firstly ammonium hydroxide was placed on to a piece of cotton wool. The cotton wool (with the ammonium hydroxide) was then placed in to a diffusion tube containing around 10 pieces of curled red

    Osmosis using potato cores and sucrose solution 1.0 Abstract This experiment’s ultimate goal is to find the water potential of the potato cell. This was achieved through placing potato cores in different concentrations of sucrose (0.2%‚ 0.4%‚ 0.6%‚ 0.8%‚ 1.0%‚ 2.0%‚ 3.0% and 4.0%) solution and to observe how much water was gained or lost through osmosis to reach a prediction of the concentration within the potato cell. The results displayed that the concentration of sucrose within the potato cell

    concentrations on the activity of osmosis in plant tissue. Background scientific theory: Plants exchange gases (CO2 and O2) in maintaining vital respiratory processes and in carrying out photosynthesis; they absorb certain minerals and sugars so to use as a source of energy and eradicate wastes in order to maintain specific requirements for survival. Large amounts of water are absorbed by root hairs and are then distributed across the cells of plants by the process of osmosis; water being essential to life

    )What is Osmosis? Osmosis is the diffusion of the movement of water from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration through a cell membrane or other semi-permeable membrane until an equilibrium is reached. It is a special case of diffusion (passive transport).  Basic Explanation : Osmosis can occur when there is a partially permeable membrane‚ such as a cell membrane. When a cell is submerged in water‚ the water molecules
