BIOLOGY OSMOSIS LAB REPORT 1. Research Question/ Aim How do the different sodium chloride concentrations of solutions affect the length (measured in mm) and mass (measured in grams) of potato cores placed in them overnight (approximately 10 hours)? 2. Hypothesis Alternative hypothesis: As the concentration of sodium chloride in the solution increases‚ the mass of the potato cores will decrease. If the solution they are in has a lower water potential than the potato cores‚ there will be

Tiffany Parker Mr. Taylor Biology 6th period 2/12/15 Gummy Bear Osmosis Lab Report Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to measure the amount of Osmosis in different types of solutions and to see how a cell would react in different types of solutions. Hypothesis: My hypothesis for this experiment is that the Gummy bear will absorb more of the plain tap and sugar water and the salt water will shrink the gummy Procedure: Materials- 3 clear cups‚ one spoon‚ 3 gummy bears‚ timer‚ tap water‚ salt‚ sugar

NaHCO3 with HCl to form NaCl and two other products and then calculate the mole relationships between NaHCO3 and NaCl and calculate a balanced equation for this reaction. Safety: • Wear safety goggles at all time • Handle all chemicals with care • Use equipment like tongs when handling warm/hot objects • If chemicals are spilt on self‚ wash off immediately • Stand at all times Hypothesis: The NaHCO3 will react successfully with the HCl and will form NaCl‚ H2O and CO2. Then be able

Effect of Osmosis on Egg Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to test the effects of hypertonic‚ isotonic‚ and hypotonic environments on the weight of a shell-less egg. We tested the weight of the egg after thirty minutes in water as well as corn syrup. I hypothesized that when the egg was placed in water‚ it would swell and gain weight because it was in a hypotonic environment. That hypothesis was correct as the egg grew slightly and the weight when up. I also hypothesised that when the egg

OSMOSIS LAB BACKGROUND INFORMATION. Dialysis tubing is being used to model a plasma membrane. Isotonic solutions are solutions that have the same concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane. Hypertonic solutions are solutions that have more solute to the one with less solute. Hypotonic solution are solutions that have less solute to the one with more solute. RESEARCH QUESTION:which dialysis tubing will gain the distilled water and which one will loss its content

Examining Diffusion and Osmosis Introduction: Purpose: 1. To simulate and observe the diffusion of solutes and the osmosis of water through a semipermeable membrane through color change and sugar tests. 2. To speculate osmosis occurring in dialysis bags and potato cores by comparing percentage change in masses. Background information: Molecules are always in random‚ constant movement due to their kinetic energy. This causes the molecules of a cell to move around and bump into each other

Experiment for the measurement of carbon dioxide and oxygen concentrations and their functions during the act of breathing. Introduction: Humans‚ like all living organisms need‚ O2 in order to live‚ they take the necessary O2 from the atmospheric air. The O2 is transferred from the blood to all cells of the body and serves for oxidation of nutrients for example glucose. By oxidize the nutrients released energy‚ which is necessary for the functions of the human body. During oxidation produces

Introduction: The objective of this experiment is to demonstrate osmosis by using an egg as a model. In order for this to happen the vinegar will make the eggs shell disappears. The reason for this is because vinegar has acetic acid and the shell has calcium carbonate‚ when these come into contact it produces carbon dioxide. This is the reasoning for the little bubbles when the egg is first put into the vinegar. After the shell discinigrates it will become rubbery from the acetic acid‚ at this

Lab 5: Osmosis Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to familiarize you with osmosis and‚ specifically‚ what happens to cells when they are exposed to solutions of differing tonicities. Hypothesis: If we add higher concentrations of sugar to the dialysis tubing‚ then the net movement of coffee into the dialysis tubing will increase. Materials scale or balance 24" dialysis tubing 4 transfer pipets sugar scissors rubber bands four coffee cups - they need to be roughly the same size

9/17/2013‚ Lois Andersen & Claire Ma “The Power of Osmosis” The purpose of the lab was to discover‚ through osmosis‚ the concentration of sugar water in a potato. First‚ potatoes were cut into strips about 3 centimetres in length and six strips were individually massed. Next‚ the six strips were placed in 6 different Dixie cups‚ labelled A‚ B‚ Q‚ X‚ Y‚ and Z. Each of the Dixie cups were then filled just enough to cover the potato strips‚ with substances that matched the letters of the cups
