Investigating Osmosis using Potato Strips
Diffusion is the movement of molecules that between the. Pushing the potato cylinder out of the borer, this this step was repeated six more times in order to get seven undamaged potato cylinders. Concentration, Diffusion, Molecular diffusion 1334 Words 7 Pages Analysis The trend that my graph and results show is that when the potato was placed in a solution that had a higher concentration than the chip itself, the potato lost weight 0. First, we must note the varying external factorsresulting from an uncontrolled environment — the biology classroom. We had to place the twovother remaining strips in the Petri dish.
It allows the conductor to see what factors affect diffusion and osmosis. Molecules will diffuse from where there is a lot of them to a region where they are fewer in number; that is, front a region of highly concentrated molecules to a region of lower concentration below. The potato cell will become plasmolyse Lose weight. Maybe to get a view of how Osmosis works in different situations, a different plant could be used. Water from root is going up to the leaves by the osmosis. Water is moving through plant with osmosis. In effect the concentration outside of any cell is proportional to osmosis rates and therefore the higher the concentration of the solution the higher the net movement of water.
Notice how it travels across the room? Involved in this process are hypotonic, hypertonic and isotonic solutions. This essay aims to assess and investigate the effect of various solution concentrations on the activity of osmosis in plant tissue. We see this present in the experiment. As the time increases, the cell is continually losing water; there is no general trend as in others it increases from 30 minutes to 60 minutes while in others it decreases. In plants, osmosis is carried out everywhere within the cells of the plant World Book, 1997. Prokaryote cells - bacteria and archeans.
There was one anomalous result, which was plotted, but not joined up to the curve. But the type of solution is not important as Osmosis is all about differences in concentrations. When two solutions are isotonic, there is no net flow of water because the solutions have equal concentrations. Agar plate, Chemistry, Height 1026 Words 4 Pages Introduction The movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane is the process of osmosis. Osmosis is a type of diffusion.
Chemistry, Concentration, Hypothesis 474 Words 2 Pages Lab 1 7. You can use potatoes to set up osmosis experiments for students of all ages and levels. This happens when there is a difference of water concentration on either side of the membrane. Size of Potato;- A large sized potato is likely to contain more substances. There are three stages of tonicity: Isotonic, hypertonic and hypotonic. Concentration, Diffusion, Osmosis 1455 Words 5 Pages Biology Lab Report 2 Investigating the phenomenon of Osmosis in plant tissues: Potato in different concentrations of NaCl Tutor: Maria Tsaousidou By Marina Gkritzioudi of NaCl Tutor: Maria Tsaousidou By Marina Gkritzioudi Investigating the phenomenon of Osmosis in plant tissues: Potato in different concentrations of NaCl Introduction: Osmosis is the movement of.
An investigation into Plasmolysis in onion cells was undertaken prior to this experiment, in order to gain some knowledge of osmosis to enable a hypothesis to be formed. This leads us to the errors resulting from variances in the substances used. The first beaker was not added any NaCl aq , second, third and fourth beakers were added different masses of NaCl aq as follows respectively, 3. Chemistry, Concentration, Diffusion 1173 Words 4 Pages Osmosis in Potato Tubers Andrew Dickson Background When a plant cell is bathed in a solution of the same concentration isotonic as its intracellular environment, its mass and volume remain the same. Most polar molecules such as sugars and proteins cannot freely pass through a lipid membrane; although water molecules are polar they are small enough to pass though the membrane freely. To ensure that the experiment is a fair test, I would make sure that the potato chips all have the same volume diameter, length and similar masses.
Concentration, Measurement, Potato 1095 Words 4 Pages My Investigation on osmosis Osmosis is a special kind of diffusion. Much like if you were to water all your houseplants with salt water. The plant cell becomes flaccid and as a result of the ell membrane shrinking and pulling away from its cells walls, it said to have been plasmolysed. The slice placed in water will be rigid, since it will absorb water. We kept potato on room temperature. Lastly, the hypotonic solution is characterized by the low concentration of solute molecules and solvent molecules move from this solution to other regions that have high solute concentrations Sperelakis, 2011. This proved that these potatoes' sucrose concentrations are not extreme and the average isotonic point would not be strange.
They are said to be isotonic in relation to each other. Whilst an isotonic solution is when the concentration of solutes is the same inside the cell as it is outside of the cell; in such as case the cell would not lose nor gain any water. Research Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a partially permeable membrane from a dilute solution to one of a higher concentration. Prediction: I predict if the solution becomes more concentrated, then the potato cells will shrink in a larger extent as the water will go from high solvent concentration to low concentration area, where is the sugar solution, down a concentration gradient. If there is a solute and a solvent, each containing different concentration levels, then the water would move along its concentration gradient until each side of the membrane are equal. Lots of things for you to test… remember science is about making observations, testing ideas, and then asking more questions. Osmosis, the process in which solvent molecules move from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration, can easily be demonstrated with potato experiments.
