Gummy Bear Lab Report

342 Words2 Pages

In this experiment three gummy bears were put in different solutions to observe the effect of osmosis on them. The independent variable in this situation are the following types of water: tap, salt, and sugar. The dependent variable is the change in mass and volume from all three gummy bears. The gummy bear brand, the environment, and the amount of time in the solution are the constants of the experiment. After the experiment is competed, one can determine how the osmosis changes the gummy bears. In the first experiment with the tap water, the gummy bear increases in both mass and volume. This means that the gummy bear was hypotonic to the tap water, since the water flowed from the cup into the the bear. In the second experiment with salt

    I predicted this because the water is hypotonic to the gummy bear, so the water would diffuse into the gummy bear causing the cells to swell and increase in size. The control group in this experiment was gummy bears that were not soaked in water because

    In this experiment, we observed the relationship between the number of domatia, the number of mites and the size of leaves of water oaks (Quercus nigra L.) and sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua). Domatia are small chambers often located on the lower surface of leaves that serve as homes for predaceous mites. In return, the mites protect the plant from herbivory and pathogen attack. This type of interaction between plants and mites is a form of mutualism, more specifically facultative mutualism. Mutualism is an interaction between individuals of different species in which both species benefit.

  • How Does Salt Water Affect The Mass Of Gummy Bear

    304 Words  | 2 Pages

    During the experiment, observations were made of their color, mass, height, and width. This data shows percent mass change of the gummy bear and how the gummy bear was affected by the salt water. It also displays how the height and the width of the gummy bear changed because of the salt water, which made the gummy bear more compact. The more salt that was added to the distilled water, the more compact it was, however, if there was not a lot of salt in the mixture, it became large and fragile. The mass of the gummy bear was increased as a result of less salt being added with the distilled water.

    The data observed and recorded in this lab shows that the concentration of miracle gro’ does affect the growth rate and germination speed of black eyed peas. The data is shown through two graphs and two data tables. The control group in this experiment is the seeds with a 0% concentration of miracle gro’, therefore the seeds with just water. The experimental groups are different concentrations of miracle gro’ including a 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30% concentration. The variable in this experiment is the amount/concentration of miracle gro’.

    Rationale The cell membrane, also called the plasma membrane is found in all cells and separates the extracellular side of the cell from the cytosolic side (Cell membrane (plasma membrane), 2023). The purpose of the cell membrane is to communicate with the cell’s external environment, to contain the cell’s contents and to control the transport of molecules in and out of the cell. Diffusion is the passive movement of molecules from an area of high to low concentration.

    When the gummy bear was placed in distilled water, the water entered the gummy bear making it increase in size because the concentration inside the gummy bear was greater than the outside of the gummy bear. When the gummy bear was placed in tap water, the gummy bear expanded due to osmosis. The gummy bear is made of glucose, salt, etc and the water in the cup surrounding it moved into the bear because water moves from high concentration (cup of water) to low concentration (gummy bear). As a result the bear collected a significant amount of water causing it to become much larger in size.

  • Essay On The Effect Of Temperature On Osmosis

    1159 Words  | 5 Pages

    Exploration Title: Effect of Temperature on rate of Osmosis Submitted By: Abdulkarim Kamal Date Submitted: October 19th 2015 Subject: Biology HL Teacher: Mr. Nick   Aim: This is an investigation to determine the relation between temperature of a solution (sucrose) and the rate of osmosis Scientific Context: Osmosis is defined a passive transport process in which a fluid diffuses across a semi-permeable membrane, from an area of high solute concentration to an area of low solute concentration and vice-versa. There are various factors that could potentially influence the rate of osmosis; these factors include volume, concentration, and temperature. If all external factors that may interfere with rate of osmosis are controlled, the results will show equal amounts of fluid on both sides of the barrier (membrane); this is known as an “isotonic” state.

    Introduction: In this assignment, I will be doing two experimentations on examining the impact of temperature on the Alka-Seltzer’s response time. The first experimentation that I will be doing involves some water that is room temperature. The second experimentation that I will be doing involves some water that is very hot. If I want to be able to figure out the impact of the temperature on water, I will have to document the time it will take for the Alka-Seltzer to go into solution.

    To be able to conduct this experiment multiple materials were needed, and these materials were a measuring cup, a food scale, and 12 oz of the following drinks; water, Pepsi, Root Beer, Sprite, and Mountain Dew. The measuring cup was used to measure the amount of each soda. This was used to make sure that no mistakes were made while setting up the experiment. A food scale was used to measure the weight in ounces of the drinks. This was done to measure the change in weight over time.

    Based on the data and the recorded observations, my hypothesis is correct. When a solution is hypotonic, this causes the cell to swell, because there are more water molecules on the inside of the cell. If positive feedback continues, the cell will eventually burst. When a solution is hypertonic, this causes the cell to shrink, because there are more water molecules on the outside of the cell. Over time, the cell will start to function poorly (“Difference between Hypertonic, Hypotonic, Isotonic Solutions”).

    Osmosis Lab Report Research Question: How does the change in the concentration of a sucrose solution affect the process of osmosis in a potato cell by measuring its mass? Background information: 1 Osmosis is the process by which a liquid passes through a semi-permeable membrane, moving from an area with a high concentration of water to a low concentration of water. There are various factors that affect osmosis such as: concentration, surface area and temperature. The concentration of solutions can affect the rate of osmosis, as there is more difference in the concentration of the solutions, which means osmosis, will take place quicker. Surface area could affect osmosis based on the ease by which molecules can get through the semi-permeable

     Two of the same types of plants were used, in order for the results to be reliable.  One of the plants was labelled DISTILLED whereas the other was ACIDIC, so the results don’t get mixed.  The DISTILLED plant was used as a controlled variable, where normal spring water was used (pH 7.3)  The ACIDIC plant was the one the experiment had taken place on, this was where lemon water was used (pH 2.0)  Throughout the experiment pictures were taken, so one will be able to notice the colour change on the acidic plants, as it had started to slowly die. With both plants you are able to notice that they had both started to grow flowers, but more the spring watered plant than that on the lemon juice watered one.  The results of the plant growth was recorded to we would be able to notice the amount it had grown, this would be the water compared to lemon juice.

    The overall project goals and central questions that has to do with the project is mostly trying to determine the isotonic concentration of the salt in potato roots and the use of the ideal soil salt conditions for the potato plant growth. In part 2, we had to test the enzyme activity that is in the was involved in the potato, so we can also determine the ideal soil pH conditions for the potato plant growth. In part 3, we were able to test absorb the leaf pigment at various wavelengths that determine the optimum light absorption conditions and was able to make recommendations for the light conditions that would be used un greenhouses. The goal of the first project is to determine the ideal soil salt for potato roots and we can relate this to the project is to find out if Solution A or Solution B has more solute in it. The goal of this project is to determine the meaning of Osmosis.
