The Osmosis Scientific Paper Emily N. Charbonneau Grand Valley State University The point of this experiment was to observe if the different concentrations of sucrose would change the speed of osmosis. Osmosis is a process of a fluid that will pass through a semipermeable membrane into a solution which most of the time has a higher concentration. Osmosis will be demonstrated throughout the lab. The importance of osmosis in a plant and animal cell there is a cell membrane‚ which helps liquids and

concentration and water potential [NOTE: You may want to look over Lab 1a to refresh your memory!] EXERCISE 1b-A: DETERMINING THE WATER POTENTIAL OF POTATO CELLS In this exercise you will use potato cores placed in different molar concentrations of sucrose in order to determine the water potential of potato cells. First‚ however‚ we will explore what is meant by the term "water potential." Water Potential. Water potential is abbreviated by the Greek letter psi (ψ). Water potential measures the tendency

investigated each sugar’s (glucose‚ lactose‚ sucrose‚ fructose‚ and lactose/lactaid) cell respiration rate. When referring to my group’s graph and data‚ glucose ended up with the highest respiration rate (1‚177.2 ppm/min)‚ but sucrose did reach the highest ppm at 300 seconds with 6‚870 ppm. This outcome makes sense to me‚ knowing about CO2 release from cellular respiration‚ when thinking that glucose is made when your body breaks down starches and sucrose is table sugar. When referring to the graph

Diffusion of Ammonium hydroxide with red litmus paper Definition of diffusion 1. Diffusion is the process in which particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration in order to evenly spread out. 2 Diagram. 3. During the diffusion tube experiment I noted that firstly ammonium hydroxide was placed on to a piece of cotton wool. The cotton wool (with the ammonium hydroxide) was then placed in to a diffusion tube containing around 10 pieces of curled red

respiration breaks down glucose to form viable ATP‚ oxygen gas is consumed and carbon dioxide is produced. This lab focuses on studying the rate of cellular respiration of saccharomyces cerevisiae‚ baker’s yeast‚ in an aerobic environment with glucose‚ sucrose‚ lactose‚ artificial sweetener‚ and water as a negative control. A CO2 Gas Sensor Probe is used to measure the amount carbon dioxide produced as the cellular respiration occurs which is proportional to how much of the molecule is decomposed. For this

Biology For Majors October 4‚ 2012 Abstract We examined the reaction an enzyme has when its concentration‚ pH and temperature are altered. In order to do this‚ we added different levels of pH into different test tubes with the enzyme (sucrose)‚ and substrate (sucrose)‚ and we then inverted the tube. The higher pH produced more enzyme activity. Temperature effects enzyme activity by decreasing its stability when the temperature increases. Oppositely‚ low temperature levels resulted in little to no

manual Result: Questions: 1. Yes. 2. Sucrose. 3. When no oxygen the ATP will be produce. 4. Brewery. 5. Aerobic glucose and aerobic glucose oxygen. 6. CO2 and aerobic water. 7. CO2 and aerobic ethanol. Conclusion: The purpose of this experiment is to determine sucrose gas form during fermentation with yeast is the most CO2. Sucrose did better than glucose because glucose is the simplest sugar and was there more as a control. Sucrose will produce the most CO2 because it is a complex
