Experiment 5 Title: Membrane Permeability Objectives: 1. Define solvent‚ solute‚ solution‚ selectively permeable‚ diffusion‚ osmosis‚ concentration gradient‚ equilibrium‚ turgid‚ plasmolyzed‚ plasmolysis‚ turgor pressure‚ tonicity‚ hypertonic‚ isotonic‚ hypotonic; 2. Describe the effects of hypertonic‚ isotonic‚ and hypotonic solutions on Elodea leaf cells and onion scale leafs. Introduction: Membrane permeability is a quality of a cell’s plasma membrane that allows substances to pass in

Results The relative osmotic concentration was determined by measuring the percent change in mass of the potato tissues. Change in mass was measured of six solutions‚ each containing different levels of concentration (0‚ 0.1‚ 0.2‚ 0.3‚ 0.4‚ and 0.5). The percent change in mass decreased as sucrose concentration increased‚ therefore‚ relative osmotic concentration also decreased as sucrose concentration increased. However‚ the osmotic concentration of 0.2 M sucrose solution was relatively greater

Membrane Processing MEMBRANEFILTRATION A membrane or‚ more properly‚ a semipermeable membrane‚ is a thin layer of material capable of separating substances when a driving force is applied across the membrane. Membrane filtration enables to separate particles with a diameter smaller than the pore diameter in the membrane from the liquid feed‚ by applying a driving force (pressure) over the membrane. The membrane technology consists principally of Microfiltration (MF)‚ Ultrafiltration

Aim: To investigate the effect to the potato cells in the different solute concentration water Introduction; Water can move through the different cells due to the difference of water potentials in the cells. If there is a higher solute concentration in the cell than outside the cell‚ the water will move into the cell. However‚ if the concentration of inside the cell is lower than the outside‚ water will not move into the cell. This process is called osmosis. Research question; This investigation

LAB REPORT 1 - LAB 7 CELL MEMBRANE FUNCTION Marisela Camacho Legarreta June 30‚ 2013 ACTIVITY 1 INTRODUCTION Be aware that all molecules have kinetic energy‚ which means that is an active energy that is always in motion. Molecules move in all different ways and this create an evenly distributed movement which is best known as diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region of their higher concentration to a lower concentration. METHODS Check the reaction of different
Premium Osmosis Diffusion Molecular diffusion
this lab is to find out which osmotic environment the eggs are in while sitting in different liquids. There are three different types of environments: hypotonic‚ isotonic‚ and hypertonic. Hypotonic solution causes the cell to swell until it bursts. Hypertonic solution causes the cell to shrink or to lose weight. Isotonic solution doesn’t cause the egg to shrink or swell‚ it keeps the cell the same it’s just in a different environment. The hypothesis for the egg in one-hundred-percent water was that

Aim: To investigate how effect of Detergent Concentration (cont.) has on Membrane permeability of Beetroot cells. Hypothesis: I predict that as detergent concentration increases‚ the solution will become less clear‚ plus mass increases. The increases in mass will indicate that the water potential of the Beetroot cell is lower than that of the surrounding sucrose solution. The Beetroot discs will become flaccid and decrease in mass if the water potential of the surrounding solution is lower than

Cell Membrane Permeability and Osmosis Experiment 3 Objectives: To demonstrate the mechanism involved in Osmosis; To demonstrate the tonicity of solutions by subjecting the cells to different concentration of solute. To view‚ under the microscope‚ any change in the shape and volume of the cells after subjecting them to different concentrations of solutes; To demonstrate the permeability of cell membrane by subjecting the cells to different solutes; To demonstrate the mechanism involved in

Determining the Solute Concentration of a Potato Aim: In this investigation I am going to work out the sugar concentration of a potato. I aim to find this out by putting potato cores into various concentrations‚ measuring the mass before and after. Due to osmosis the potato cores will change in mass to make the concentrations at an isotonic level‚ helping us to work out the mass of the potato. I predict that potato in the weaker solutions will gain mass‚ because some water will be absorbed by the
