Biology – 2 Mrs. Dahle Lab 1: Diffusion & Osmosis 9/16/14-9/19/14; Jessica Bullock‚ Andrew Buchholz‚ Kristamae Masiclat TITLE: Different Ways to Express Diffusion and Osmosis INTRODUCTION: Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of a substance down its concentration gradient‚ from a region where it is more concentrated to a region where it is less concentrated. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane. The objective of this lab is to observe the different

Introduction The reason of this experiment was to identify the properties and effects of osmosis. Osmosis can be defined as the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane. (Miller/Levine) Osmosis occurs when there is an area of higher and lower concentration. Osmosis is a type of diffusion. Diffusion is when molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of higher concentration. The three types of concentrations are hypotonic‚ hypertonic‚ and isotonic. When in comparison

Let’s Make Salt Purpose: Could NaCl be made using NaHCO3‚ hydrochloric acid‚ and a boiling chip? Hypothesis: If I combined NaHCO3‚ hydrochloric acid‚ and a boiling chip I think it will form NaCl because when you balance the equation it makes a new chemical reaction. Materials needed: test tube cleaner‚ test tube‚ test tube tongs‚ hot plate‚ a scale‚ graduated cylinder‚ water‚ goggles‚ fire retardant glove‚ beaker‚ test tube holder‚ a scoopula‚ hydrochloric acid‚ sodium bicarbonate‚ soap‚ pipette

Introduction In Diffusion‚ Dialysis & Osmosis lab‚ we discovered that we were going to observe and understand the conditions under which diffusion‚ dialysis‚ and osmosis occur. Then we constructed models of diffusion‚ dialysis‚ and osmosis. We predicted that the direction of change would be from the membrane to the beaker. We understood how these processes affected the selectivity of the cell membrane. The second part of the lab was dealing with dialysis. In this part we studied starch and sodium

purpose of this experiment was to test different solute concentrations on the rate of osmosis. Artificial cells were filled with different solute concentrations and placed in water and weighed at equal time intervals to show how the water moves across cell membranes and down its concentration gradient into the lower concentrated area. The weights of the cells were recorded each interval‚ and then the rate of osmosis was found by calculating the corrected cumulative change in weight. The prediction

1. Diffusion and Osmosis‚ June 4‚ 2013 2. Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to help give visual understanding of diffusion which is a solution of high concentration spontaneously (no energy required) moving to an area of low concentration. Also taking a look at osmosis‚ which is the movement of chemicals across the cell membrane. Osmosis requires some type of energy to be put in for this to happen. After these experiments we should have a better idea and visualization of how chemicals transfer

This was conducted through four different experiments. The first tested the effect of temperature on enzyme activity. The independent variable in the first experiment was the temperature of the solution of pH 7 buffer‚ potato juice‚ and the enzyme. The independent variable for the second experiment was the pH of the phosphate buffer. The independent variable for the third experiment was the enzyme concentration of the solution‚ and finally the independent variable of the

Objective: To observe the effects of osmosis on eggs placed in vinegar (5% acetic acid)‚ syrup (60% sugar solution)‚ and water (100% distilled). Hypothesis: Hypothesis #1: It was hypothesised that the egg would gain 59 grams of mass after soaking in vinegar for 24 hours. Hypothesis #2: It was hypothesised that the egg would become larger when soaked in syrup than it once was due to the hypotonic environment. Hypothesis #3: It was hypothesised that the egg would soak in water for 72 hours‚ losing
