Osmosis And Diffusion Lab Report

690 Words3 Pages

Within the lab of observing passive transport, it had been apparent that only two different types of transport had been used. Both diffusion and osmosis are involved in the movement of substances from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. They will both continue to happen until an equilibrium is reached, at which time there will be no net movement of substances. Diffusion does not require a membrane to occur and it involves a variety of different molecules.. Osmosis, on the other hand, involves the movement of water molecules from a region where they are in high concentration (hypotonic solution) to a region where they are in lower concentration (hypertonic solution) across a semipermeable membrane.

Then it is shown how the membrane was selectively permeable when the small water and iodine molecules are able to pass through into the dialysis tubing. Once it had turned into a bluish black it was apparent that the cell membrane was selectively permeable because of the color change. The data that was recorded throughout the experiment provide further evidence of this but also overall give a clear picture of what had been completed within the lab. When the dialysis tubing color changed it was apparent that the iodine and water solution had went inside. This also was a clear indicator because the original coloring inside of the dialysis tubing was clear/white because of the starch and glucose inside of it. On the other hand the data also shows how the glucose was able to cross the semipermeable membrane into the iodine/water solution because it tested positive on the glucose test strip. This was tested by placing the glucose test strip into the water/iodine solution and the indicator was if the color changed from teal to a green-brown color. Lastly was to see if the iodine solution had changed, and it was clearly shown through the data that it was not affected, except for it leaving the cup into the dialysis tubing. The color it had originally started off with was amber, and it remained that color after the dialysis tubing was placed in the

Name: Avishak Deb Roy Partners: Leevell Penn, Varugh, Butler Bio 101 Lab Report #1 02.22.2018 Swimming speed of paramecium tetraurelia in different levels of treatment. Introduction Paramecia is a unicellular Protista which are naturally found in aquatic habitats. It is easily cultured in the laboratory. It is oblong shaped and covered with short hairy structure called cilia. Paramecia does not pose any health or ethical concerns and the population can be maintained if there is a food source such as Enterobacter (Biological Foundation 7).

Part A: Osmosis practical task Aim: To observe the effects of osmosis in rhubarb cells. Hypothesis: Water will be extracted out of the cells in the salt solution causing the cells to look different to the cells in the freshwater solution. Materials: Rhubarb Distilled water in a dropping bottle Salt solution in a dropping bottle Microscope, slides, and coverslips Forceps and razor blades or scalpel Paper Towel Method: Clean and dry a slide and coverslip.

The experiment we did was a lab to discover how “Miracle Gro” affected the germination of seeds. My group’s original hypothesis was that the seeds with the highest concentration of “Miracle Gro” would grow the most compared to the other seeds. However, after 8 days, the results were the exact opposite; the seeds that got 0% of “Miracle Gro” turned out to be the healthiest and tallest. By the third day, all five seeds, for the water solution, where sprouting. On the other hand, the solution with 4% “Miracle Gro” only had 3 seeds starting to sprout.

INTRODUCTION: In this experiment I was testing for antimicrobial sensitivity of Staphylococcus epidermidis by using the Kirby-Bauer Diffusion test. The three antibiotics utilized in this lab were: gentamicin, novobiocin, and penicillin. I determined the effectiveness of the antibiotic by observing and measuring the zone of inhibition for each antibiotic.

More specifically the aim was to investigate what effect 40% and 70% ethanol solutions had on a B. Vulgaris cell membrane and then compare them to the same test with distilled water. It was hypothesised that the ethanol solution would increase the membrane permeability. From the results the hypothesis can be supported. Cell membranes are a core aspect of understanding cells which helps to understand humans and other living creatures. Therefore the topic of cell membranes has been extensively researched, meaning that there is no limit to information and sources of information of the subject.

In the first experiment displaying a semipermeable membrane and diffusion, we first filled up a 500 mL beaker with 300 mL of water and added 40 drops of potassium iodide solution to the water. We slowly stirred the mixture to make sure the potassium iodide was completely even throughout the water. We then took a dialysis bag and soaked it in water for few seconds to make it easier to open up the seal. We tied up one end of the dialysis bag with a piece of string and filled the bag with 13 mL of dissolved cornstarch in water. Then we tied up the other end of the dialysis bag with a piece of string and placed the bag into potassium iodide and water solution.

The Study of Diffusion and Osmosis Using Deshelled Eggs Maquita A. Dieufene Jessica Thelwell(Partner) 10/09/2014 1611 Evening Lab   Introduction It is quite simple to overlook the roles diffusion and osmosis play in daily life. If one has ever spent too much time in the pool and watched as their fingers begin to turn prune-like, that is an example of osmosis. Osmosis is simply defined as the movement of a concentrated solvent through a semi permeable membrane to a more concentrated solvent.(Biology Corner) Relating to the earlier example of osmosis, your body acts as the more concentrated solvent for the water to penetrate. Diffusion is the exact opposite of osmosis.

The purpose of the transpiration lab was to expand and test one’s knowledge on transpiration, and how it is affected by various factors. This was done in an experiment involving five pansy plants. These pansies were placed into five separate environments with different factors labeled as Control, Intense Light, Humidity, Fan, and Dark. The objective of the lab was to determine how and explain why each environment affected the transpiration of their individual pansey. The main scientific principle being explored in this lab was transpiration.

Egg Lab Conclusion Diffusion and osmosis were both seen throughout the experiment on dissolving egg shells. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration while osmosis is the movement of water across a membrane. What we had done in the lab was let an egg sit in different substances per night over the course of a week to watch the movement of water across the membrane of the egg. On day one we placed the egg in vinegar and my hypothesis was if we placed the egg in vinegar then the acid will start to deteriorate the shell because of vinegar’s acidic acidic properties. This in fact happened but it was because of diffusion.

(Lenntech, 2016). Diffusion being the process in which oxygen dissolves in water from kinetic movement, i.e. wave movement etc. (Hyperphysics, 2016). This means all water types contain some quantity of dissolved oxygen naturally when exposed to air sources. The dissolved oxygen in the samples used in this experiment would only have entered the water via atmospheric diffusion.

Biology Design Practical Joshua Edwards What are effects of the volume of a potato and the amount of weight it loses when placed in salt solution? Introduction This design practical uses a potato’s surface area to volume ratio to see what affects it has on osmosis in different concentrations. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through a cell membrane into an area of a higher solute concentration. The movement goes the way of the solvent with more solute because the lower solute concentration is drifting through balancing the ratio of solute per solvent (En.wikipedia.org, 2018).

Introduction: In this lab, of water in a hydrate, or a substance whose crystalline structure is bound to water molecules by weak bonds, is determined by heating up a small sample of it. By heating, the water of hydration, or bound water, is removed, leaving only what is called an anhydrous compound. Based on the percent water in the hydrate, it can be classified as one of three types: BaCl2O ⋅ 2H20, with a percent water of about 14.57%, CuSO4
