Analysis
The solution in the dialysis tube turned bluish black in color due to the transfer of iodine from the beaker to the bag which contains starch and glucose . The solution in the beaker turned brown after Benedict’s test ( table 1) . This indicates that the dialysis tubing was permeable to both glucose and iodine but not starch ( work helper, 2017) . Starch didn't pass because the solution in the beaker which contains iodine didn’t turn blue-black in color but remained yellow, this means that the initial weight increased due to the transfer of molecules ( work helper, 2017). The initial weight was 7.00g and the final weight was 7.44g.

Two fifty milliliter of water was added to a beaker, with a size of two fifty milliliters with a sufficient amount of potassium iodide, making the water yellow in color. The dialysis tube was soaked in water for a few minutes until it opened up from both ends. One of the ends of the bags was folded and tied with a string, to close the end so that no solution is leaked through. The other end of the tube remained opened so that it forms a bag, and four milliliters of glucose and three milliliters of starch are added into the dialysis tube. The other end is, also closed and tied with string. Once the tube is fully closed it was weighed on a scale and rinsed under tap water and placed in the beaker made at the beginning of the lab. The dialysis tube is left in the beaker for about thirty minutes while being stirred. After thirty minutes the bag was carefully removed

    Title: Alexandra Whitaker, Ms.Dayton, 12/23/16, 2.03 lab permeability Objective(s): The main purpose is to find out if plastic bags are permeable to starch and, or, iodine. Also, to find out wither potatoes are hypotonic, hypertonic, or isotonic by testing the different amounts of sucrose solutions Introduction: The necessary background information needed for this lab is the definition of osmosis, diffusion, active transports, passive transports, permeability, concentration, tonicity, and to now the scientific concepts of hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic. Hypothesis: For part 1 my hypothesis is: That the starch will diffuse across the plastic bag and react with the iodine and will have a color change to the water to imply the reaction…

    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…

    1. The Karo syrup experiment started with our dialysis tubing bag with Karo syrup in the bag and the initial weight was 11.09 ounces. We left in a beaker of tap water for 45 minutes and the final weight was 17.98 ounces. The dialysis had a semipermeable membrane and the water soaked through the bag of the syrup. This created a solution of water and syrup 2.…

    Once all components were added, the separatory funnel was shaken and vented until 2 separate layers were formed, an ether layer and an aqueous layer. Extraction of Glucose: The aqueous layer, containing glucose, was drained into a 50 mL flask, then was placed into an ice bath to form crystals. After 15 minutes passed, the flask was taken out of the ice bath because it was unsuccessful in forming crystals. The glucose then was allowed to dry for 1 week, but it was still moist.…

    This experiment determined how solute concentration affected the rate of osmosis in a cell and the outside environment. Three pieces of dialysis tubing were used as three different cells, each filled with different solute concentrations. Each one of the cells was placed in one of three beakers that were filled with tap water. The masses of each of these cells before being placed in the beakers, and afterwards in ten minute intervals for an hour. The percent difference between the initial mass and the mass at each of the ten minute intervals was calculated in order to show the results.…

    Osmosis is the net movement of water towards higher concentration. In osmosis experiment, water likes to diffuse from an area of low-solute concentration to an area of high-solute concentration. The purpose of the osmosis experiment was to observe the diffusion of solutes and the osmosis of water through a semipermeable membrane, which was dialysis tubing. This experiment was done to examine, if the solution is hypertonic, hypotonic or isotonic.…

    The iodine was a marker. It showed whether starch was still present in the wells. From the results, starch was present in all the wells; it was present at every temperature and every time interval. The hypothesis was not supported because temperature did not affect any of the amylase; there was no activity.…

    During my dialysis experience I found it to be very informative and interesting. We were not allowed to touch the patients or help with any care but the staff was interactive and explained was they were doing. The staff also was able to provided scenarios of different complications that happened and how they 'd respond. By the end of the first day I was able to see what the caregiver would due if a patient had muscle cramps, was short of breath and had chest pain. The first day I mostly interacted with the staff and was able to see medical side of the whole procedure such as learning and seeing how to dispose of contaminated equipment and what machines were used.…

    Preparation of coating solutions Chitosan solution was prepared with 2 % (w/v) chitosan in 1% (v/v) acetic acid glacial. The solution was placed on a hot plate/magnetic stirrer for 6 h. The resultant chitosan-based coating solution was filtrated, through a Whatman filter paper No: 2, glycerol was added at 0.75 % (w/v), and stirred for more than 15 minutes. Two of the best concentrations, 60 and 90 mg mL−1 were prepared from freeze-dried IgY for S. putrefaciens and P. fluorescens respectively. After centrifugation (10000 ×g) for 30 min, the supernatant was collected and sterilized by filtrating, through a 0.22 µm micro-filter. Finally, IgY was added to chitosan-based coating solution.…
