Osmosis Egg Lab Report

60 Words1 Page

As mentioned earlier, the egg’s mass changed prior to the substance it was soaked in. This experiment was able to show the effects of osmosis where the egg was both depleted and expanded due to the diffusion of the water molecules. The egg’s change in mass depended on whether the solution of the substance was either hypotonic, hypertonic, or isotonic.

Introduction Paramecia is a unicellular Protista which are naturally found in aquatic habitats. It is easily cultured in the laboratory. It is oblong shaped and covered with short hairy structure called cilia. Paramecia does not pose any health or ethical concerns and the population can be maintained if there is a food source such as Enterobacter (Biological Foundation 7).

  • Gummy Bear Osmosis Lab Report

    The isotonic point is the point in which osmosis causes the concentrations of either side of the cell wall to reach an equilibrium (balance). The original experiment involved placing gummy bears in water and sugar and salt solutions (Gummy bear osmosis, 2022). The experiment was modified to further investigate the effect of varying NaCl concentrations on the mass of potatoes.

  • Rhubarb Osmosis Lab Report

    Additionally, it was difficult obtaining a piece of rhubarb that was thin and particularly red, therefore the effect could not be best observed in the cells. Part B: Design your own experiment Parts of this practical were taken and slightly altered from the following link http://www.markedbyteachers.com/gcse/science/investigate-the-effect-of-surface-area-on-osmosis-in-potato-tissue.html Aim: To observe the effect different surface area: volume ratios have on osmosis in potato tissue. Hypothesis: If the potato has a larger surface area: volume ratio, the quicker osmosis will take place and the larger the mass will be at the end of the experiment, therefore the difference in mass of the potatoes from the start of the experiment to the end of the experiment will be larger. Additionally, the potato pieces left in a saltwater solution will decrease in mass, whereas the pieces left in water will increase in mass.

    For this lab I will be using water and sucrose to demonstrate the rate of osmosis. In this lab I will be exploring how temperature impacts the rate of osmosis by placing pieces of potato of equal size in solutions of different temperatures and observing the change in mass of potato after a given period of time. The change in mass will indicate the rate of osmosis.

  • Egg Drop Lab Report

    In this egg drop project, a container was built to house one egg and was then dropped at various heights. The purpose of this lab was to find how impact time affected the force with which an object, the egg container, hits another surface as the momentum moves to zero. Our hypothesis states that if the impact time is stretched longer then the force exerted on the egg would decrease, making the egg less likely to break. The independent variables for the egg drop project was the height at each drop; the dependent variables were impact time and survival of the egg. The controls were mass, design of the container, and the egg.

  • Lab Report: Diffusion And Osmosis

    1274 Words  | 6 Pages

    In this lab we used two processes called Diffusion and Osmosis. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. Diffusion is a process that requires no energy and involves smaller non-polar molecules. In Figure 1 you can see the molecules spreading throughout the glass from the area of high concentration, so that the areas with low concentration are filled evenly as well. The other process was osmosis.

  • Osmolarity Lab Report

    In this lab when looking at cells, we observed the salinity and osmolarity of the cell when placed in the environment. With the different concentrations of NaCl, we are able to see how different environment can constrain an organism and see the wide range of responses to regulate in cell’s osmolarity. The cells we studied was sheep red blood cells (erythrocyte), because they are the most studied membrane system and therefore used as ideal membrane to study the relationship between water and the passing of the different concentration of NaCl across the membrane. The purpose of the experiment was to observe the cell and infer which direction of the flow of the water due to the cell volume change.

  • Osmosis In A Potato Cell

    By using the same mass of potato slices and putting them in different concentration of solutions for a specific amount of time will tell us how the concentration changes the mass of the potato slice. Therefore changing the rate of osmosis. Hypothesis: I predict that, if the piece of potato was put into a solution that has a high concretion of sucrose then the potato slice would lose mass as it would lose water from its cells because the water is moving out of the cell from a high concentration to a low concentration of water through a semi- permeable membrane. The cell is hypotonic and the solution is hypertonic.

    Think of it like this, adding salt to the water makes it like an ocean which is easier to float and swim in than just normal/ distilled water. This is because salt makes water denser. When salt water gets denser, the easier it would be for objects to float on it. My hypothesis was correct. The water did go inside the egg, but the ones with least salt increased the most, unless the egg was the smallest and it had enough space to take in a lot of extra water.

    Introduction: In this lab, of water in a hydrate, or a substance whose crystalline structure is bound to water molecules by weak bonds, is determined by heating up a small sample of it. By heating, the water of hydration, or bound water, is removed, leaving only what is called an anhydrous compound. Based on the percent water in the hydrate, it can be classified as one of three types: BaCl2O ⋅ 2H20, with a percent water of about 14.57%, CuSO4

    Biology Design Practical Joshua Edwards What are effects of the volume of a potato and the amount of weight it loses when placed in salt solution? Introduction This design practical uses a potato’s surface area to volume ratio to see what affects it has on osmosis in different concentrations. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through a cell membrane into an area of a higher solute concentration. The movement goes the way of the solvent with more solute because the lower solute concentration is drifting through balancing the ratio of solute per solvent (En.wikipedia.org, 2018).

    Internally fertilized eggs are deposited in gelatinous mass. The large, yolky egg of terrestrial snails are deposited in moist environments, such as leaf litter, and a calcareous shell may encapsulate them. In marine gastropods, spiral cleavage results in free swimming trochophore larva that develops into another free swimming larva with foot, eyes, tentacles, and shell called a veliger larva. Sometimes, the trocophore is suppressed, and the veliger is primary larva. Torsion occurs during the veliger stage, followed by settling and metamorphosis to the
