Buffer solution

region of water that has a lower potential through semipermeable membranes. There are three types of solutions, hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic. Hypertonic solutions have a higher concentration of solute while hypotonic solutions have a lower concentration of solute. Isotonic solutions have an equal concentration of solute. There is no net movement going in or going out of the isotonic solution or solute. The purpose of this experiment is demonstrate osmosis by weighing the dialysis bag 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…

Introduction: All living organisms require the process of osmosis in order to live. When there is a semi-permeable membrane separating differing parts of an aqueous solution, the fluid will flow from the section with the higher osmotic pressure to the section with the lower osmotic pressure (HammelSchlege2005). This happens because the solute molecules diffuse toward the fluid with a lower concentration and the solute molecules drag the water through which they diffuse (HammelSchlege2005). This…

represent a hypertonic, hypotonic or isotonic solution. The first solution cell and environment the student had, was water and sodium chloride. In this instance water was the model cell (what was in the dialysis tubing) and Sodium chloride was the surround environment (plastic cup). The initial weight of the model cell was 13.2g, but after sitting in the sodium chloride solution over night the cell lost water and only weighted 11.6g. Since the solution of the model cell- in this case water- left…

3.0 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 3.1: Effect of Storage Conditions on Egg Weight Tables 1- 2 show the results of effect of storage conditions on eggs weight (chicken eggs and quail eggs). The weight of chicken eggs stored at ambient condition (control), moist sawdust, refrigerator and those that were dipped in oil reduced from 63.61-60.03g, 63.11-60.99g, 61.12-59.41g and 66.12-65.79g respectively. While the weight of quail eggs stored at ambient condition (control), moist sawdust, refrigerator and…

FTIR Spectroscopic Study on Inner Membrane of Egg Shell of Chicken Gallus gallus domesticus Abstract: The paper presents FTIR analysis of inner membrane of eggshell of chicken Gallus gallus domesticus. Fresh samples of egg shells are cleaned; dried and inner membrane of the shell is separated carefully for FTIR analysis. FTIR spectrum reveals a series of bands related to fats and proteins. Calcium carbonate is the major constituent (about 90%) of the shell, but it is absent in the inner shell…

Application 1. used for treating pulmonary edema 2. was given by nebulizer a. 3 - 5 ml. of 30 - 50% solution ii. Mode of Action 1. alcohol lowered the surface tension of the foamy exudate, reducing it to a liquid, clearable…

General Introduction Dietary lipids: Dietary lipids consist of a broad group of compounds that are soluble in organic solvents and insoluble in water. Their density is lower than water and consistency varies from liquids to solids at normal room temperature, depending on their structure and function. They are also referred as ‘Oils’ which are liquid and ‘fats’ which are solid at room temperature. Lipids are the important constituents of diet due to their higher energy value. One gram of lipid…

damage. Another example of osmosis would be kidney dialysis. Kidney dialysis is for individual who undergo kidney diseases. This process involved the dialyzer to remove the waste from one’s blood through a membrane that dialyzes and passes into a solution tank. Due to the red blood cells being large in size, they ultimately cannot go through the membrane thus are retained within the blood. By osmosis, waste materials are continuously removed from the blood. On the other hand, diffusion occurs…

in the cell; to maintain the cell’s homeostasis.Within the experiment two types of solutions were present: Hypotonic and Hypertonic. Hypotonic is when the higher concentration lies in the actual cell than in the fluid surrounding it, which allows the molecules to diffuse into the cell causing the cell to swell. Hypertonic solutions however, are when cells…
