Diffusion‚ Osmosis‚ Active Transport There are two ways in which substances can enter or leave a cell: 1) Passive a) Simple Diffusion b) Facilitated Diffusion c) Osmosis (water only) 2) Active a) Molecules b) Particles Diffusion Diffusion is the net passive movement of particles (atoms‚ ions or molecules) from a region in which they are in higher concentration to regions of lower concentration. It continues until the concentration of substances is uniform throughout. Some major examples of diffusion

Extracting NaCl from Rock Salt and assessing its purity Aim The aim of this experiment was to obtain a pure product from a solution through the processes o extraction‚ filtering and evaporation. Introduction Extraction is used when trying to separate or purify a product. For an extraction to be successful the substance used to make the solvent should readily dissolve. The substance used in this practical was rock salt. The liquid used should not react with the substance that needs extracting

Solubility of Carbohydrates ‚ Glucose ‚ Galactose and Lactose . Objective : To determine the relative solubility of glucose ‚ galactose and lactose by measuring their saturation point at the same constant temperature. Principle : With 10g distilled water contained in a beaker ‚ then add small quantities of the carbohydrate being test at a time with constant stirring until no more can dissolve ‚ saturation point is represented at r.t.p.. Test the carbohydrates ‚ glucose ‚ galactose and lactose

Diffusion and Osmosis Introduction Tonicity refers to the concentration of solutes in a solution (Lab 6-7). There are three stages of tonicity: Isotonic‚ hypertonic and hypotonic. Four unknown solutions were given and labeled as followed: Solution A‚ Solution B‚ Solution C‚ and Solution D. Since potato cells were used for this type of experiment‚ in an Isotonic solution the solute and water concentration are the same as inside the cell in which the isotonic solution contains 0.9% NaCl. In other words

Question 1: How does Osmosis works It refers to the movement of water molecules from an area of high-level water concentration‚ that is‚ a dilute solution‚ to an area of low-level water concentration‚ that is‚ a strong solution through a semi-permeable membrane. (Passmyexams.co.uk‚ 2015) Actually‚ water moves in a bi-directional manner with the aim of leveling up the concentration. However‚ a high number of water molecules move from the fresh water towards the salty water. The outcome

changed colour from pink to blue. About five minutes later the second red litmus paper in line had also changed from pink to blue. Two days later the entire tube had changed colour from pink to blue‚ thus proving that diffusion had occurred. 4. Using my knowledge of diffusion I can easily state that the change of colour the red litmus paper had (from pink to blue) occurred through the act of diffusion. This was due to the fact that there was a high concentration of ammonium hydroxide on the cotton

Question How do digestive enzymes convert sucrose and lactose into glucose? II. Background Research Do you enjoy eating smoothies packed full of berries and other tasty fruits? This paper is going to discuss how digestive enzymes convert sucrose and lactose into glucose. The following terms will discuss; Sucrose‚ Glucose‚ Lactose and Digestive Enzymes. Sugar is any of a class of crystalline carbohydrates such as sucrose‚ glucose‚ or lactose‚ that dissolves in water and have a characteristic sweet

Materials 1 fresh baking potato Water Salt Four small containers (i.e.‚ drinking cups or clear glasses) A metric ruler Methods and Procedure 1) Place 1 cup (236 ml) of water in each of the 4 containers. In 2 of the containers‚ add 1 tablespoon (14.8 ml) of table salt and mix well until
Premium Osmosis Blood
Osmosis The purpose of this lab is to study how membranes of plant and animal cells react when exposed to different solutions. The first experiment involves purple onion skin and the second involves rat blood in various solutions. I needed to understand certain terms before preforming this lab to be able to efficiently explain what is happening to the cells. Diffusion is the tendency of a substance to move down its concentration gradient from a more concentrated to a less concentrated area.
