Hypothesis:
Throughout my observations and my education of the process of Osmosis, the movement of the solutions moving up from the “mysterious” solution inside the semi permeable membrane which is known as the dialysis bag. Osmosis happens because of the molecules crossing, for more of an understanding according to Anita H, she says “…high water concentration to an area of low water concentration through a partially selectively permeable membrane” (Anita) The molecules cross from less concentrated solution to the higher concentration solutions (The low concentration solution is the distilled water immersing the dialysis bag and the concentration liquid is the fluid inside the bag). Throughout the experiment it is knowledgeable that invertase is the cause for breaking down the sucrose, meaning that without invertase it is unable to cross the semi-permeable membrane. If there is not

Through the clean data, there isn’t even a slight comparison with the dictation o the data’s rates. With the red solution, after sixty minutes of observation, the reds data came to the highest of 3 millimeters making it clear that it is indeed water with invertase because it had the slowest climb making it clear that it also had the lowest concentration from the surrounding water The Blues solutions had a very middling rate because although the rate of blue is much higher than reds it is not as high as the rate for green because it was invertase with sucrose because there was a higher concentration due to the sucrose breaking down the glucose and fructose. The highest rate blue got to was 74 millimeters. The green solution however is the fastest rate by far because of its sucrose with water. Not only did the green surpass the blue and the red, it reached to 211.5 millimeters, which is over 100m over the blue and the

    The Pressure in the bag reduces due to a loss of volume of the solvent. A point reaches whereby the pressure on the outwards side of the tubing equal to the force driving the water out of the tube. At this point, no more osmosis occurs in the bag (Wisniak, 2013). Bag B stimulates a cell whose contents are isotonic to its surrounding environment. This situation arises because the concentration of the bag contents is 1% sucrose concentration that resembles the solute concentration on the outside.…

    The procedure for Lab 5 contained four parts. For Part A, a clean, dry 100 mL beaker was obtained and filled with 60 mL of distilled water. Next, the beaker was placed on a ring stand with a thermometer attached to the ring stand to record the temperature of the water. After the thermometer had been in the water for two minutes, the temperature was recorded. Following the recording of the temperature, a 10 mL pipet and a bulb was used to pipet 10.00 mL of distilled water into a clean, dry, pre-weighted 50 mL beaker.…

    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…

    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.…

    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.…

    It is written in the Lab Manual (2014) “Osmosis is diffusion of water across a differentially permeable membrane” (p. 97). In this experiment, dialysis tubing, a type of differentially permeable membrane which only lets water molecules through, was used to create bags used to model cells. Four bags were made and labeled “A,” “B,” “C,” and “D.” The bags were filled with sucrose solutions of 1%, 1%, 10%, and 25% respectively, then A was placed in a 10%…

    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.…

    The test tube with glucose and yeast had the highest rate of respiration therefore proving my hypothesis to be incorrect. The fact that aspartame had the slowest rate of reaction could prove that it is not healthy for us to intake it as it is a non-saccharide sugar essentially meaning it is a fake sugar and more than likely something that is harder and takes longer for our bodies to process. Even though this is so, the rate of respiration of yeast with the aspartame was not significantly lower as the rate was only lower by 0.1 cm/min. Although fructose is a monosaccharide like glucose its rate which was 0.16cm/min was slower by 0.02 cm/min possibly because fructose is a non-reducing sugar and glucose is a reducing sugar therefore this…

    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.…

    Discussion The aim of this experimental report was to analyse and examine several water quality parameters including dissolved oxygen, water temperature and turbidity, in order to determine the overall state of health within Freshwater creek. Once the results from each parameter were collected, from both locations, it was that found they each had multiple interrelationships between each other as well as several anomalies which could have potentially skewed the final results. It was initially decided at the beginning of the dissolved oxygen experimentation that a reading would be collected from two locations with different features, in order to present a representation of the specific amounts of dissolved oxygen in different areas. It was evident…
