Comparing IKI And Glucose Diffusion

Improved Essays
In the diffusion experiment, glucose is leaving the bag, proven by using the glucose test strips in the beaker while Iodine Potassium-Iodine and water is entering the bag, proven by the change of color and the increase in size of the bag. Based on the observation, water molecules would be the smallest and then IKI, glucose, membrane pores, and starch molecules as the biggest. This show how small molecules like IKI, water, and glucose was able to pass the selective permeable membrane. On the other hand, bigger molecules like starch did not move very slowly or not at all because they were too big for the membrane pores. IKI and glucose move from high to low concentration while water move from region of high water potential to region of lower

    In the diffusion experiment, the highest temperature allowed the food color molecules to move at a faster rate, allowing the food color to diffuse in the water the fastest. Like the diffusion experiment, the higher temperature in this experiment produced a faster chemical reaction, allowing the Alka Seltzer to dissolve the…

    Gummy Bear Experiment

    For our diffusion experiment our group decided to work with salt water and gummy bears. Our experiment tested the weight of the gummy bears per salt dilutions. Our tests included 1g 2.5g 5g, 1.5g, and 10g of salt diluted with water. We knew that the higher the concentration of salt diluted into the water the heavier the diffused gummy bear would be, therefore we measure weight as our numerical data. My hypothesis was that the 10g dilution of salt would have the gummy bear with the largest mass.…

    The iodine lab demonstrated the concept of diffusion, the movement of molecules move from a higher concentration to a low concentration through a semipermeable membrane. In the experiment, we observed a beaker filled with distilled water and Lugol’s iodine solution enter a bag filled with glucose and starch solution through the semipermeable membrane provided by the dialysis tubing. While the beaker remained the same color throughout, the solutions in the bag changed from a clear color to a light blue color due to the influx of iodine indicating the presence of starch. Although water molecules are polar, they are small enough to move across the membrane until it reaches an isotonic solution. There was also now a presence of glucose in the…

    In this lab, the effects of osmosis on an egg without a shell will be observed; an egg will be submerged in water and then corn syrup. Osmosis, the process of water moving from a low concentrated area to an area of high concentration, is the main theme of this lab. The purpose of this experiment is to view the effects of an egg in a hypertonic state, hypotonic state, isotonic state and diffusion. Hypertonic is the movement of water leaving the egg to an area of higher concentration. When this occurs the egg becomes shriveled.…

    Method: In this experiment each group received 2 chicken eggs whose shells have been dissolved off. This gave us a differentially permeable membrane so that we can observe osmosis and what happens when the membrane is presented with different solutions. Since we did not know the concentration of the egg, we had to assume that it equaled the concentration of the membrane. We then had the ability to determine the concentration based off the assumption and the rate of osmosis.…

    Another factor that can affect Diffusion is the mass of the substance that is involved. Small masses allow for a faster and easier Diffusion. Larger masses hinder the process of Diffusion and require more time and energy. Various particles move easily and “freely through the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane”. (Tortora and Derrickson 2014)…

    Osmosis Theory

    The purpose of this EEI is to create and analyse an experiment that relates to and supports the theory of osmosis in biological cells. Cells are the biological building block for all life; all living organisms have cells also. Cells provide structure, absorb nutrients from food and convert those nutrients into energy so that the cell can carry out specialized functions. There are two main categories with most organisms and their cells; prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The distinctive difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is that eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles, such as the nucleus, while as prokaryotic cells do not.…

    First pass effect can be understood to be the metabolic alteration, including degradation and elimination, of any chemical substance, including drugs, taken into the gastrointestinal tract and absorbed into the hepatic system. Depending on the chemical/drug, sometimes degradation occurs in the intestines, such as with insulin, and sometimes it occurs in the liver, such as with propranolol. Though the intestinal mucosa may be much less involved in first pass effect, it does play an active role in altering substances for elimination. The alteration or degradation further implies that there is a decrease in the concentration of the chemical before it enters the systemic circulatory system. A significant amount of first-pass effect occurs in the…

    Describe the movement of each substance in the dialysis bag and the beaker. The movement of glucose in the dialysis bag was that is crossed the dialysis membrane; therefore, it was found in the beaker solution. The starch solution on the other hand remained in the dialysis bag and was not found in the beaker. 3.…

    Osmosis is the tendency of a fluid, usually water, to pass through a membrane into a compound where the solvent concentration is higher (Osmosis). These two terms are different because osmosis refers to fluids going through membranes, while diffusion can be any molecule (Haneef, Kochunni Jazir). Osmosis is a specific type of diffusion (What is...). A selectively permeable membrane is a material that only allows specific substances to pass through it (Selectively permeable...). This affects diffusion and osmosis because the processes are sometimes not permitted if the membrane is selectively permeable (Selective permeability).…

    THE EFFECTS OF OSMOSIS INTRODUCTION Osmosis is the process where molecules of a solvent are prone to pass through a semi-permeable membrane, going from a less concentrated solution to a higher concentrated solution. Doing this equalizes the concentrations on both sides of the membrane. Our question throughout the experiment was; What effects do the different concentrations of sucrose have on the rate of osmosis? The hypothesis was; If the solute concentrations do effect the rate of osmosis, then if the concentration of sucrose increases, the rate of osmosis will also increase.…

    We also conducted the Benedict test for Cell A and Cell B. We saw that Cell A had no glucose, but Cell B had glucose. From this, we could see that both water and glucose moved through the selectively permeable membrane of the dialysis Cell B. The glucose moved inside the cell so that it could also balance out the concentration of water outside and inside the cell. This also proved the concept of osmosis as well, where the water moved outside of the cell because of the…
