Osmosis is a different and unique kind of diffusion. When the concentration levels of two solutions on either sides of the membrane are equal and no movement is detected the solutions are isotonic.
If you are not familiar with these concepts make sure that you have looked them up in your textbook.
Ap biology diffusion and osmosis lab. Diffusion does not require energy input by cells. The movement of a solute from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration requires energy input in the form of ATP and protein carriers called pumps. Water moves through membranes by diffusion.
The movement of water through membranes is called osmosis. The movement of molecules from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration is called diffusion. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane.
When the concentration levels of two solutions on either sides of the membrane are equal and no movement is detected the solutions are isotonic. _____ AP Biology Lab 04 Page 1 of 11 LAB 04 Diffusion and Osmosis Objectives. Describe the physical mechanisms of diffusion and osmosis.
Understand the relationship between surface area and rate of diffusion. Describe how molar concentration affects the process of diffusion. Diffusion is the movement if molecules from an area of higher concentration to and area of lower concentration.
This process with continue to occur until an equilibrium is reached. Osmosis is a different and unique kind of diffusion. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a permeable membrane.
Diffusion And OsmosisClassic Lab Kits For AP Biology. Atoms and molecules are the building blocks of cells. Both have kinetic energy and are constantly in motion.
They continually bump into one another and bounce off into new directions. This action results in two important processes diffusion and osmosis. Since Osmosis and Diffusion are both principals that are the results from the second law of thermodynamics.
This lab will also prove that as particles dextrose move randomly yet uniformly though diffusion throughout the solution the solvent water will move through osmosis in order to remain in constant equilibrium. In this laboratory we use bars as the unit of measure for water potential. 1 bar approximately 1 atmosphere.
The water potential of pure water in an open container is zero because there is no solute and the pressure in the container is zero. Adding solute lowers the water potential. AP Biology Lab 1 Osmosis and Diffusion.
In this lab you will observe the process of osmosis and diffusion. You will also learn how to calculate water potential. If you are not familiar with these concepts make sure that you have looked them up in your textbook.
If you dont know what these terms mean this lab is not going to make sense to you. Diffusion and Osmosis Lab Abstract Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane it can be accelerated or altered by changing the concentrations and materials dissolved into. For a quick explanation of diffusion and osmosis we highly recommend Paul Andersens AP Biology Lab 1.
Diffusion and Osmosis video. The explanation of the potato lab starts at 536. Answer key available to teachers upon request.
Connection to Class Content. In class we studied osmosis and how molecules pass through a semipermeable membrane into a solution. This is what was observed in the OsmosisDiffusion Lab.
The three possible cases are that the solutions in the experiment are hypertonic hypotonic or isotonic. Stacy Hernandez Period 1 Mrs. Riley AP Biology Osmosis and Diffusion Lab I.
Diffusion is vital to many life functions of a cell it allow the transportation of vitally important nutrients and compounds without the expenditure of excess metabolic energy. This is for the most part a repackaged version of the DiffusionOsmosis lab in the old AP lab manual. In terms of getting the ideas across it worked well for my students last year.

Because of a cells aqueous environment it allows water to pass by osmosis or aquaporins. With osmosis water can move throughout the membranes of a cell down its concentration gradient. Water moves from areas of high potential and low solute concentration to areas of low potential and high.
Osmosis Diffusion Lab. Testing Sugars Laboratory 3 AP Biology Abstract. In trying to find a cells water potential in different molar concentrations and how the concentrations affect a real cell system we conducted two labs.
The real cell system in the second lab was a potato. AP Bio Lab 1 - Diffusion Osmosis Conclusion. The dialysis bag was a membrane that was selectively permeable and only allowed glucose IKI and water to diffuse in and out of the membrane because of its relatively smaller size than the pores of the membrane.
Diffusion and Osmosis Laboratory 1 AP Biology 2011 Spurthi Tarugu Kavinmozhi Caldwell Chelsea Mbakwe Radha Dave Navya Kondeti Abstract. The basic principles of Osmosis and Diffusion were tested and examined in this lab. Raynes AP Biology October 4 2021 Diffusion and Osmosis Lab Report Purpose.
The purpose of this lab experiment is to measure the water potential of a solution in a controlled experiment determine the osmotic concentration of living tissue describe the effects of water gain or loss in animal and plant cells and relate osmotic potential to solute concentration and water. Diffusion allows for the cell membrane to move other particles in and out of the cells until it becomes isotonic and osmosis determines if the cell will either expand or explode lysed in a Hypo-tonic solution or shrived in a Hyper-tonic solution. Diffusion and Osmosis plays a key role in order to move the right amount of particles and water.
Explain the results you obtained. Include the concetration differences and membrane pore size in your discussion. Starch remains in the bag because it is too big to get through the pores of the bag.
Glucose leaves the bag bc there is less of a concentration outside the bag so it wants to obtain equilibrium. DIFFUSION AND OSMOSIS Do not write on this document In this lab you will observe the process of osmosis and diffusion. You will also learn how to calculate water potential.
If you are not familiar with these concepts make sure that you have looked them up in your textbook. If you dont know what these terms. AP Biology Big Idea 2 - Diffusion and Osmosis Lab In your Lab Notebook.
Baseline model for investigating the relationship between the volume and surface area of a model cell and the rate of diffusion Part 2. Constructing model cells to compare the net movement of material in solutions that are hypotonic hypertonic and.
