Introduction
Compare Diffusion and Osmosis
Diffusion is the movement of substances from high concentration to low concentration. In this movement do not occur a membrane. Molecule of gas like perfume it can diffuse and sugar will be dissolve in the cup of coffee. In a diffusion process gradient concentration is high to low
Osmosis is the movement of water through the permeable membrane. Osmosis is any the process of substance that reduces pressure exposed increase the entropy. Water is solvent so water move from low concentration to high concentration is called osmosis, that is hypotonic, but the water move from high to low is hypertonic solution. And if the water stands equal inside and outside it is isotonic solution. Hypertonic solution has less than hypertonic solution.

In our experiment in our experiment we filled water four beakers, 0.2m, 0.4m and 0.6m solutions we have been measured each potato from the beginning which was pealed the same shape and the same size. We filled water four beakers, 0.2m, 0.4m and 0.6m solution, so we have been measured each potato from the beginning which was pealed the same shape and the same size. The solution of potato was recorded final mass- initial mass for osmosis result.
Therefore, the percent weight change of potatoes for a control group NaCl solution. in a control group piece of potato is 0.2m ,0.4m and 0.6m NaCl will be lost 4.6%, 8.89 and of the initial weight. However, water was move in and out in the cell membrane. So starch was not moving either in or out to the bag. In a hypertonic environment water move out from the cell, then the cell w all be lose water. But in the hypotonic the cell walls gain water.

    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…

    Discussions Bag A stimulates cell whose contents are hypotonic to its environment. The situation is because the concentration of the dissolved substances in the cell is less than the surrounding media. In this case, the cell contents contain 1% sucrose solution that is less concentrated than the 50% surrounding media. Therefore, a large concentration gradient develops between the two media. Consequently, because of the high concentration gradient, the bag loses water faster and this leads to its reduction in volume.…

    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…

    Osmosis and Diffusion Egg Lab In this lab, an egg is used as a representation of an actual cell, the shell being the cell wall, and the yolk being the nucleus, which like an actual cell also expands when placed in a substance like water, and shrinks when placed in a thick substance like corn syrup. I hypothesize that water will make the egg hypotonic, which means that the cell is swollen due to an excess of water in its environment and corn syrup will make the egg hypertonic, which is the shriveling of a cell due to a lack of water and or salt in a solution (Crowe, 2016). Then soaking it in water, and later corn syrup after the 24 hour period of soaking in water and other shorter increments of time. The purpose of this lab is to see osmosis…

    This lab provided a good perspective of the movement of molecules diffusing and going through osmosis into a cell. The ability of the cell membrane to be selective was illustrated by it not allowing all the molecules through (starch). This shows how in a real cell it can differ between essential and nonessential or invading molecules. Lastly, It gave a good example of hypertonic solutions and how the concentration gradient…

    IV. Discussion The Concentration Gradients is known as known as diffusion. They are spontaneous process because there is no energy input at the beginning (Reece et al., 2011). Each substance could diffuse to its own concentration gradient without affected by the concentration of other substances (Scott 2015).In the first experiment of the Concentration Gradients.…

    Observing Osmosis INTRODUCTION Osmosis is the “diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane” (Raven et al. G-16). In this experiment, dialysis tubing was used to mimic the selectively permeable membrane to show what osmosis does when placed in different solutes. We filled dialysis tubes fill with different percentages of solute and placed them in beakers full of a different solute. Through this experiment, I saw what happens when the solution becomes hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic. My hypothesis was that bag A would shrink because the water would leave the bag to go to the higher concentration.…

    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.…

    From Table 1, there was a decrease in mass for bags A and B. This means that osmosis took place, and the water molecules were moving from the sugar solution to the sucrose in the culture dish. This is because the the sugar was more concentrated outside of the dialysis bags, causing water to move down the concentration gradient and outside of the bag. The masses of bags C and D increased. Osmosis took place here as well, since the solutions had different concentrations from that of the concentration of the solutions in the culture dish.…

    An isotonic solution is kind of in the middle where there isn’t a lot of sugar so not much water will be able to get in or out, examples of this are blue and purple. The hypertonic solution is a solution that losses the most water because of all the sugar outside of the cell examples…

    Diffusion in Agar Cubes Experiment Introduction Diffusion is a paramount process to organisms because molecules enter the body cells and waste products are removed. Diffusion is the movement of particles from regions with dense areas to regions with lower density. Diffusions rate can be determined by many factors this includes, the size, synthetic composition, concentration gradient, surface area to volume ratio. The independent variable in this experiment is the size of the agar, this means that the dependent variable is the rate at which the agar cubes diffuse.…

    In a cell, substance can move in and out without expanding energy; which is called passive transport. Think about molecules and ions move in motion in a solution. When a random motion cause a net movement of a substance of high concentration to low concentration is called diffusion. That is where the molecules spread out evenly throughout the area. When you have a difference in the concentration in a distance is called a concentration gradient.…

    Diffusion is the movement of atoms or molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration down a concentration gradient. Osmosis is the spontaneous movement of water particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration through a selectively permeable membrane. What is osmotic pressure? Osmotic Pressure is the minimum amount of pressure needed to be applied to a solution to prevent the inward flow of water across a selectively permeable membrane.…
