Title: Potato Osmosis Abstract: In this experiment was designed to study the effect of a concentrated solution applied to white and sweet potatoes. The solution’s impact among the potatoes were to be either hypertonic‚ hypotonic‚ or isotonic. The potatoes were first cut into fries with a fry cutter‚ and then weighed after being cut. The white and sweet potatoes’ weights ranged from .005-.015 grams. A total of 18 sugar solutions are to be made over the course of 3 trials. In each trial‚ 6 different

Biology 20 November 2013 Osmosis Lab Problem: What’s the order of the concentration for each solution and how does it affect the movement of water? Hypothesis: Experimenter thinks the order of the solutions according to their concentration is D‚A‚E‚C‚B‚ from smallest. And the water will pass through semipermeable tubing bag from low to high concentration to thin the concentration inside the bag. Osmosis is a diffusion of water particles and is one of the passive transport that the molecules try

Introduction This experiment was osmosis and diffusion. In this experiment I began by calculating the volume of a fresh chicken egg. Then to determine the effect of osmotic pressure change on a cell I soaked the raw chicken egg in vinegar for 24 hrs‚ and measured the volume of the egg after the shell had been dissolved by the vinegar. The egg was then submerged in corn syrup for 1-24 hrs‚ then measured and recorded the new egg volume. Finally the egg was submerged in water for 1-24hrs‚ again the

Activity 1 1. Describe two variables that affect the rate of diffusion. a. There are alot of different variables or factors that can affect the rate of diffusion‚ for example: size of the molecule‚ shape of the molecule‚ concentration gradient‚ charge of the ions‚ temperature‚ environment‚ etc. The rate of the diffusion can increase as diffusion distance increases‚ concentration gradient increases‚ surface area increases‚ temperature increases‚ and many more. 2. Why do you think the urea was not
Free Diffusion Molecular diffusion Osmosis
diffusion called osmosis‚ “which involves in selective transport of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane” (Lab Manual 2nd edition). It was hypothesized that osmosis will occur when there is an uneven distribution of solute in a solvent. The more abundant the solute is in solvent‚ the higher the rate of osmosis through the diffusion gradient forming a hypertonic or hypotonic solution. Solvent with equal or no solute forms an isotonic solution. Throughout this lab‚ data was collected

The Osmosis Lab SHS Lacrosse Monster #2 Dates performed: 10/10/11 and 10/11/11 Introduction: The purpose of the laboratory investigation was to observe the diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane. In this lab‚ dialysis tubing was used to represent the semi-permeable cell membrane. Three dialysis tubes were prepared with 5% sucrose solution and were soaked in solutions of different concentrations. The diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane is called osmosis. When

Potato Osmosis Introduction: A shipwrecked sailor is stranded on a small desert island with no fresh water to drink. They know they could last without food for up to a month‚ but if they didn’t have water to drink they will be dead within a week. Hoping to postpone the inevitable‚ their thirst drives them to drink the salty seawater. They are dead in two days. Why do you think drinking seawater killed the sailor faster than not drinking any water at all? Today we explore the cause of the sailor’s

Introduction: In this experiment‚ you will study osmosis. Your task is to design an experiment that will determine what concentration of solute is isotonic with the specimen cells. (Design) Procedure: You will be provided with the following materials: Potato‚ potato corer‚ scalpel‚ forceps‚ electronic balance 10 % salt solution‚ distilled water‚ 50 mL beakers‚ graduated cylinder‚ paper towel You must design a procedure that will enable you to determine the concentration

Osmosis Lab: The Incredible Egg How does the solution a cell is in effect the movement of substances into and out of the cell? Eggs were soaked in vinegar for twenty-four hours before the lab to dissolve the shell‚ then placed them into the distilled water. Then the eggs were taken out and dried by the paper towel to measure their weight on the electronic scale. First egg weighted 78.92g‚ most of the parts of it’s skin was white translucent‚ and was spongy. After the egg was submerged into the
