OBJECTIVE: To describe the effect of water gain or loss in animal and plant cells. INTRODUCTION: Osmosis is the tendency of water to flow from a hypotonic solution (low concertration of dissolved substances) to hypertonic solution ( higher concerntration of dissolved substances) across a semipermeable membrane. Osmosis occurs when different concentrations of water are separated by a differentially permeable membrane. One example of a differentially permeable membrane

Design and perform an experiment (p. 1-2) 1 (Answer varies with Ss. The recommended quantity of jelly powder and water is stated on the packet of the jelly powder. Jelly will not set if it is too dilute.)

Lab 1 Diffusion‚ Osmosis‚ and Water Potential of Glucose Problem: What effects will glucose have on diffusion‚ osmosis‚ and water potential? Background: All living things have certain requirements they must satisfy in order to remain alive. These include exchanging gases (usually CO2 and O2)‚ taking in water‚ minerals‚ and food‚ and eliminating wastes. These tasks ultimately occur at the cellular level‚ and require that molecules move through the membrane that surrounds the cell. There

OSMOTIC POTENTIAL OF CELL SAP OF PLANT EPIDERMAL CELLS Aim: The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the effects that the molarity of the sucrose solution and distilled water have on the plasmolisys of epidermal cells of a red onion. Hypothesis: Taking in consideration osmosis‚ and my knowledge about it‚ my prediction is that as the molarity of the solution under which the cells are exposed will increase‚ also the amount of plasmolysed cells‚ counted from amount of undamaged cells

epidermal cells Stems in vascular tissue‚ which is made of xylem & phloem. Xylem – transports water & dissolved minerals Long tubes made up of series of cells. From roots upwards to leaves; useable for tree with maximum height. Phloem – transport sucrose‚ produced in photosynthetic tissue to other regions of plant‚ as well as hormones & any other organic material made by plan. Role begins at leaves Transports ‘sap’ to rest of plant Phloem cells linked by sieve plates for continuity. Sugar moved

unknown sucrose solutions. First I would pour an equal volume of each solution into beakers labeled A‚ B‚ C‚ and D. I would also have a beaker of the same amount of distilled water to serve as a control for the experiment. Then I would obtain several baby carrots‚ 4 per beaker. I would mass the groups of 4 potatoes before placing them in their respective beakers of solution. potatoes do have semipermeable cell membranes (water should be able to pass‚ but not necessarily the larger sucrose)‚ but in

Sweet and White Potato Research Aim: To observe whether equal sized white potato or sweet potato cores reached the isotonic point in the same concentration of sucrose solution. Introduction: Osmosis is diffusion of water from areas of high water potential to areas of low water potential. It does not require an input of energy. Plants use osmosis to transport minerals from their roots to their leaves‚ and to take in water in the soil. Because the plant cell is taking in water and minerals‚ its mass increases
