Diffusion Carrot Lab

Decent Essays
In the homeostasis, osmosis, and diffusion carrot lab, the mean growth in weight for the carrots soaked in solution A, one of our blue solutions, was 0.151 grams. Solution A had a standard deviation of 0.048. For solution B carrots, one of our clear solutions, the mean growth was 0.117 grams. Solution B had a standard deviation of 0.057. For solution C carrots, our other blue solution, the mean growth was negative, actually indicating a loss in weight. This mean loss was -1.426 grams. Solution C had a standard deviation of 0.121. We had another mean loss with our solution D carrots, the loss being -1.479 grams. Solution D had a standard deviation of 0.211. The relatively low (under 1) numbers for standard deviation demonstrate trustworthy

    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…

    In this lab my group and I learned about what type of test to conduct when determining a pollution source. I predicted that the Whitmore Strawberry Farm was producing the pollution that was causing algal blooms to form in the lake. The farm used a combination of organic and commercial inorganic fertilizers, which could have been the pollutant. The Whitmore Strawberry Farm was not the source of the pollution, the source was the Emerald Estates.…

    Each lab table was responsible for growing a pea plant. Nine pea plants were planted in total. The pea plants were separated into three groups. The first group was without any auxin, the second group had 500 ppm of auxin, and the last group had 5,000 ppm of auxin. The growth of the pea plants were recorded and ranked using a Wilcoxon test to determine which peas showed significant growth.…

    The groups split into many smaller groups so that they could test the plants in many different sodium chloride concentrations. Each biology lab group spilt their class into six groups. The first group created a soil containing 6 percent sodium chloride, salt, by adding 15 milliliters of sodium chloride to one cup of soil. The next group took ¼ a cup of the six percent soil and mixed it with ¼ cup of plain soil making soil containing a three percent sodium chloride concentration. The group after that took ¼ cup of the three percent soil and mixed it with ¼ cup of plain soil making soil containing a 1.5 percent sodium chloride concentration.…

    The data in Figure 1 supported both our hypothesis and our predictions. The solute concentrations affected our model organism the Gallus gallus domesticus. The weight of the G. gallus domesticus egg has a greater decrease in mass when added to a higher concentrated solution than a lower concentrated solution. The data also supported the prediction that the mass of the G. gallus domesticus egg in 10% NaCl will weigh less than the G. gallus domesticus egg in the 1% solution. Diffusion and osmosis play an important role in moving solutes and water from high concentrations to low concentrations until equilibrium is reached.…

    The purpose of this experiment was to see how rock salt affected a grass cube’s growth rate when it was added to water that was given to the grass. In our procedure we would dissolve the rock salt with water in a beaker and give it to the grass using a liquid dropper. Our dependent variable was the grass height and our independent variable was the rock salt. We had constants, such as the water container the grass was left in and where all the grass cubes were placed after the procedure. We also had a control group that didn’t receive any additional items, just water.…

    At first, 30 germinated peas that had the same size were selected. The seed coat was removed from the seeds of the peas. The peas were put in a cup and the weight was measured. A water bath was used to put water and ice cubes to have a temperature of 10° C that was measured with a thermometer. The peas were soaked in the water for five minutes with a test tube that was inserted through a hole that the water bath contained.…

    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.…

    Sweet Potatoes Osmosis

    This occurs because according to osmosis, water moves down its concentration gradient from a low solute concentration to a solution with a high solute concentration. In addition, an increase in the mass of the potatoes occurs because the highly concentrated solutions were hypertonic. Potatoes with the greater increase tend to be the sweet potatoes because the potatoes already have sucrose embedded in the substance. When placed in a solution with high sucrose content, the amount of sucrose in the sweet potatoes increases because the solutes enters a cell with higher solute potential than that of the surrounding environment. When the net osmosis rate is zero the solution is isotonic because equal amounts of solute is present in the cell and the surrounding environment causing no net movement.…
