Day Two: 1) Gently remove the egg from the vinegar. 2) Using the graduated cylinder measure the amount of vinegar left in the beaker and record it. 3) Record any changes you observe in the egg. 4) After measuring the vinegar pour it down the sink. Rinse and dry out beaker.
The cell membrane in an animal cell is both a protective barrier and a filter to keep unwanted materials out and bring needed materials inside. Water can move freely through the cell membrane with osmosis. So can small molecules such as sodium and calcium ions. Large molecules like polysaccharides and proteins need assistance in moving through the cell membrane. In this experiment, you will be looking at the movement of water.
Laura Mccain Lab 5: Osmosis with Hypertonic, Isotonic and Hypotonic tonicity Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to familiarize you with osmosis and, specifically, what happens to cells when they are exposed to solutions of differing tonicities. Hypothesis: Hypotonic Solution: the cell has a higher concentration in it than in the area surrounding it. Water moves into the cell to equal out concentration. Isotonic Solution: The cell has a equal proportion of concentration with the area surrounding. Water continually flows in and out to keep concentration even.
- Spoon, Tongs, etc. Procedure: First we started out by measuring 1 cup of vinegar (Enough to cover egg) Then we placed the egg in the container that we were using for this part of the experiment. Secondly we let the egg sit for twenty four hours in the vinegar. Thirdly, we washed the egg off very gently, the transferred the egg from the vinegar to the corn syrup. Fourthly, we let the egg sit for twenty four hours.
After filling the holes of the petri dish with the solution, the dish was covered and allowed to sit undisturbed for one hour. Part II of the experiment was performed by taking two eggs from a vinegar bath. The eggs were carefully dried with a paper towel. After drying the eggs, the eggs were measured. The initial measurements of egg #1 were 5.9cm in length and 4.8cm in width.
Conditions that must remain constant in this experiment include the temperature of the water baths and the volume of peas and beads in the respirometers. The general gas law states that if temperature and volume remain constant, then the pressure of the gas will change in proportion to the number of molecules of gas present. 2. Water moves into the respirometer pipettes because as oxygen is consumed by the peas, the pressure within the pipettes will decrease and thus the negative pressure will draw the water into the pipette. It is important to correct the readings from the peas because the glass beads are used as a control in which no changes should occur in CO2 and oxygen levels due to their abiotic nature.
How well did the results compare with your prediction? ___ __Potassium ions diffuse out across the membrane, leaving behind a negative net charge._ ___ 3. Explain why a change in extracellular Na+ did not alter the membrane potential in the resting neuron. ___ __There are less leakage sodium channels than leakage potassium channels, and more of the potassium channels are open._ 4. Discuss the relative permeability of the membrane to Na+ and K+ in a resting neuron.
Specifically, I think that from a 1-10 color intensity scale, with 1 being no reddish color, and 10 being deep red, the results will be as follows: * 1 70˚C 10 * 2 55˚C 7 * 3 40˚C 6 * 4 22˚C 0 * 5 5˚C 5 * 6 - 5˚C 7 Method: I conducted this experiment by cutting fresh beets into six equal size portions. I then rinsed the six portions in room temperature tap water for two minutes, and dried them with paper towels. I also chopped up and crushed a portion of left over beets and allowed them to soak in tap water for 20 minutes to get an example of what would be considered a 10 on my color intensity scale. From there, I poured water into a beaker and allowed it to sit on the counter to achieve room temperature of 22˚C. While the water was sitting, I put each portion of beet into individual beakers and began to test each portion individually.
Background: Osmosis is a process in which molecules of a solvent (water) pass through a semipermeable membrane from a high water potential to a low water potential, and equalizing the concentration on each of the sides of the membrane. In the case of the experiment the high water potential is the cup of water or sucrose solution, and the low water potential was the egg. We observed how, through osmosis, water was transferring into the egg. Materials collected and roles of each member: Philip - placed eggs in water and measured on scale, collected eggs and beakers Ropil - placed eggs in water and measured on scale, collected beakers and liquid June - collected liquid and measured it, and paper towels Alec - recorded data, started and stopped timer, collected liquid and measured it Step Taken: We started off the lab by getting six eggs marinated in vinegar, then dried them off. After that we grabbed 6 100ml beakers and measured 80ml of distilled water, 5% sucrose solution,
Lab Report for Labs 2&3 Membrane Integrity Under Osmosis & Biological Membranes: Amphipathic and Alcohol Membranes By: Annika Bauer Section: 8 Introduction Each living organisms has cells and each of these cells have membranes. Because of their phospholipid bilayer, cell membranes are able to control what enters and exits the cell including water, waste, and other molecules. The small parts of the membrane that create this bilayer are phospholipids, each containing a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tails. Being hydrophilic (attracted to water), the heads arrange themselves so that they are in contacts with water, leaving the hydrophobic tails (repelled by water) only in contact with each other, thus creating a bilayer membrane. Cell Membranes are what controls what enters and what exits the cell by the process of osmosis.
