Two Transfer Pipettes Of The Gatorade Solution
734 wordsThe Effect of Concentrations of Starch and Sugar Solutions on Synthetic Semi-Permeable Membranes By: Jamie Hardy Question: Is dialysis tubing selectively permeable? Hypothesis: If one has dialysis tubing, which is dipped in water, filled with Gatorade and starch and is left for 15 minutes, the sugar in the Gatorade will exit the dialysis and into the water. So the dialysis is semi-permeable. Materials: 16 cm dialysis tubing beaker cylinder test tubes transfer pipettes Gatorade Starch solution 10...

Solute Concentration External To The Cell
1,562 wordsThe aim of this experiment is to investigate the movement of water into and out of plant cells by osmosis. The cells chosen for study will be taken from potato tubers as they provide a ready supply of uniform material. Any substance dissolved in water is called a solute; a solvent is a liquid that is able to dissolve another substance, called a solute, to form a solution. The water content of plants varies depending on environmental conditions. In Land plants this water plays a vital role in the...

Water Potential Within The Cell
665 words1. a) Bulk movement is the overall movement of a fluid. The molecules all move in the same direction. Diffusion however is the random movement of molecules which usually results in a fairly even distribution. In other words the movement is not guaranteed to move in one direction but the probability that it will move in the lower gradient is greater. Osmosis is similar to diffusion but is differentiated by the membrane's behavior. The cell membrane does allow water to move from higher to lower co...

Diffuse Through The Dialysis Bag's Membrane
815 wordsDiffusion LabProblemWill starch, water, glucose, iodine or a combination of the above diffuse across the membrane of the dialysis bag causing the bag to either expand or shrivel? Hypothesis & Strategy I believe that the smaller molecules, such as glucose and water will diffuse through the dialysis bag's membrane causing it to expand, due to the concentration gradient. I would test this hypothesis by filling the bag with a solution consisting of water, glucose and starch, tie it off and weigh it....

Length And A Strong Sugar Solution
530 wordsThese results show that a potato chip placed in water will gain in length, a weak sugar solution will lose length and a strong sugar solution will lose length also. The results from this test will allow me to choose an appropriate range of moralities in order to find out what the concentration is inside the cell vacuole. I am going to investigate 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 molar sugar solutions. I have chosen these concentrations to try and accurately find when there is no net movement of w...

Water Molecule In A Hydrogen Bond
1,275 wordsProperties of Water Water is essential for life as we know it on earth. It is used by plants and animals for basic biological processes which would be impossible without the use of water. The origin of all life can be traced back to the water in the Earth's precambrian seas. Water is also the universal solvent. It reacts with more elements and compounds than any other substance known to man. Water is a polar molecule made up of on atom of hydrogen and two atoms of oxygen. It is attracted to itse...

Osmotic Potential Of The Solution
510 wordsIntroduction The presence of solutes in water causes the osmotic potential to decrease and it reduces the free energy of water. This is because water molecules will tend to bind to the solutes rather than moving freely and away from the solution. If cells are surrounded by a solution that has an osmotic potential more negative (lower) than that inside the cell, water will move from inside the cell (higher water potential) to the outside solution (lower water potential) by osmosis. This water los...

Potato In The 0 4 Molar Solution
1,422 wordsIntroduction. Osmosis is the net movement of water between water molecules from a weaker solution to a stronger solution through a semi-permeable membrane. Structure of a plant cell. What happens when a plat cell is placed in a solution weaker then the solution in a cell? Osmosis takes place. Water diffuses into the cytoplasm and vacuole through the selectively permeable membrane. When this happens the solution in the middle is more concentrated and the vacuole expands while the cytoplasm moves ...

Solution Concentration
324 wordsPlan: The aim of this investigation is to measure the rate of osmosis activity in a potato chip when placed in different solutions. Osmosis is the diffusion of water from a high water potential to a low water potential across a partially permeable membrane. Osmosis continues in this environment until a state of 'equilibrium' is achieved where the water gradient in one are is no different to another. The experiments I conduct will show the rate of osmosis between the potato chip and the solution....
