Lab 4

Simple diffusion is the random movement of molecules across a
semipermeable membrane. Energy is not required for this process

High- to low concentration

Particles moving

Your cell is a semipermeable membrane




Osmosis

Usually water molecules

Water moving

Low solute concentration- higher solute concentration

The water will follow the higher concentration

With the membrane, the water can pass, but the sugar molecules are too
big




Tonicity

Is determined by solute concentration and membrane permeability,
influenced of the solute concentration in the surrounding environment to
cause a cell to lose or gain water

, The movement base on outside

Can effect diffusion and osmosis

Extraccelluar environment the fluid

Hypotonic-less concentration

Under

Water is gonna follow so it will move into the potato

Causing to swell

Isotonic- the same

Solutes of solution(environment) are equal to the potatoes solute

Nothing happens

Hypertonic – more concentrate higher

Higher in environment than potatoes

Cell would shrink

The water will leave potatoe




Lab simulation

Corn starch dissolved In 200 ml of water also iodine to show diffusion

Iodine detects starches in samples

Colormetric indicator for starches

The reaction is it forms a black color to almost purple

The bag of iodine is the semipermeable membrane so we will see if the
iodine is small enough to pass into the solution

Check in on the bag at 10,20,30 minutes
