Osmosis Investigation Aim What happens to the mass of a raisin when you put it onto different sugar solutions? A sugar solution is made from glucose and water. A raisin is a dried grape. A sugar solution is inside a grape. Prediction In a weaker sugar solution the water goes in, so the mass increases. In a stronger sugar solution the water goes out, so the mass decreases. In a weaker sugar solution the raisin’s mass increase caused by osmosis, the particles are absorbed by the
Osmosis Investigation What is Osmosis? Osmosis is basically the movement of water molecules from a dilute system solution to a concentrated solution, through a partially permeable membrane. Water molecules are able to pass through the cell membrane because they diffuse whereas sugar molecules are larger and cannot diffuse as easily therefore not being able to pass through. Cell membranes are like visking tubes because they will let some substances through but not others. They are partially
Osmosis Investigation The Problem When a piece of fresh beetroot is left to stand in a beaker of cold distilled water, very little pigment is released from the beetroot. When, however, a similar piece is placed into a beaker of hot water, pigment release happens more quickly and the surrounding water soon becomes coloured red. A possible explanation for these observations could be that the structure of the plasma membrane is affected by temperature. As temperature rises, the damage
Osmosis Investigation Introduction ============ Mr. and Mrs. Brown own a fish and chip shop; they employ Lee for an hour after school every day to prepare the chips, which are to be fried during the evening. Lee peels the potatoes, cuts them into chips and then places them in containers of salty water to prevent them from drying up. There have been complaints that the chips are sometimes soft and limp. Mr. Brown wants to sack Lee who he considers to be slapdash and careless, but Mrs
Osmosis Investigation How different concentrations of sucrose solution effect potato tissue. Aim How do different concentrations of sucrose solution effect potato tissue. Background Information Osmosis is the movement of water molecules though a partially permeable membrane from an area of high water potential to an area of low water potential. High Concentration Low Concentration The membrane lets small water molecules pass though but not large ones. The flow continues
Investigation Of Osmosis In Potatoes Aim: To investigate the affect of different concentrations of sugar solution on potato cells. Variables: The variables are; the concentration of sugar in the solution and the mass of the potato cylinder. We will measure the mass of a potato cylinder after a certain amount of time in a certain solution. Fair test: To keep the test fair we need to keep the controls the same. Like keeping the temperature the same so the kinetic energy doesn't
Investigation of Osmosis in Plant Cells My aim is to investigate osmosis in plant cells. I will do this by carrying out an experiment to find out the percentage increase or decrease in mass (grams) of potato tube, placed in varying concentration of glucose. Background Information - The theory of Osmosis. Osmosis is a special case of diffusion that involves water. It is the movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from a region of high water concentration to
Investigation of Osmosis in Plant Tissue Aim To investigate factors which affect the rate of osmosis. The main factors which affect osmosis are: Pressure Temperature Surface area Solute Concentration Plant Tissue We will be investigating solute concentration as this is the easiest factor to measure and will give us the most accurate results. We will mainly investigate the different rate of osmosis when potato cells are placed in solution with different solute concentrations
The Investigation of Osmosis in Potato Chips Osmosis will occur across a semi-permeable membrane whenever there is a difference between the water concentrations on the two sides of the membrane, and when this happens to cells they will either become turgid if water flows into them, or plasmolysed if water flows out of them, and therefore changing their mass. Aim: To investigate how changing concentration in a sugar solution affects the rate of osmosis in potato chips. Prediction:

Potato and Osmosis Investigation PLANNING: (P) Some background Information: Water Potential and Living Plant Cells Plant Cells in Pure Water: If plant cells are placed in pure water (a hypotonic solution) water will initially move into the cells. After a period of time the cells will become turgid. Turgor pressure is the pressure exerted against the cell wall by contents of the cell. At first most water movement is into the cell. As the turgor pressure increases water will begin to

Osmosis/Diffusion Investigation 4 Lab Report Cappy Pierce November 6th 2015 Labs done with: Ethan Anderson, Emily Levin, and Logan Lucas Instructed by: Mrs. Nyland Abstract: Diffusion and osmosis are necessary for the efficient transport of substances in and out of living cells. Diffusion is the most common and effective transportation process between cells and their surroundings, the movement of a substance along a concentration gradient from high to low, allowing essential nutrients and compounds
An Investigation of Factors Affecting the Rate of Osmosis Introduction Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semi permeable membrane from a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration. [IMAGE] A semi permeable membrane is a membrane with very small holes in it; they are so small that only water molecules can pass through them. Bigger molecules such as glucose cannot pass through it. In actual fact water molecules pass both ways through
