What organism is used in the osmosis experiment?
A potato is used in the osmosis experiment.
What is it called when water diffuses across a cell membrane?
Passive molecular diffusion. The Cell can't be compared to a hollowed out potato! Meaning that the osmotic flow of water into the sugar filled potato interior pool is unidirectional; while the Cell may control the flow of water, in or out, depending upon it's needs.
How diffusion and osmosis limit the size of a cell?
becauuse it does
Water molecules spreading through a membrane with a change in cell size is an example of what?
Water molecules spreading through a membrane with a change in cell size is an example of osmosis. In osmosis fluid passes both in and out of the semipermeable membrane in osmosis, but usually there's a net flow in one direction.
Water molecules spreading through a membrane with a change in cell size is an example of?
osmosis
Can peeled boiled potato go through osmosis?
yes peeled potato go through osmosis.
What organism is used in the osmosis experiment?
A potato is used in the osmosis experiment.
How does length and width of a potato affect osmosis and also how does the mass of the potato affect osmosis?
If a potato has a larger surface are:volume ratio, it will be affected by osmosis more quickly that a potato with a smaller surface are:volume ratio. Presumably a potato with a larger mass will have a smaller SA:Vol ratio, and as such will be less affected.
Which statement best explains the observed change in size of the potato cubes?
water left the cube by the process of osmosis
Will the size of an unboiled strip of potato increase when placed in distilled water for 2 hours?
Yes, because the distilled water has higher water potential as compared the the strip potato, so water will enter the potato by osmosis, through a partially permeable membrane, causing it to increase in size (:
How does boiling a potato effect osmosis?
Boiling the potato destroys the cell membrane which is a partially permeable membrane. Thus osmosis is unable to occur as osmosis occurs through a partially membrane and only diffusion would occur.
Will a potato lose weight if it is peeled and soaked in a salt water solution for a day?
Because of osmosis the water in the potato will move into the hypertonic solution causing the potato to lose weight.
How does osmosis experiment take place with potato?
Beacause when you put the slice of potato in water osmosis takes place since concentration of water is lower then the concentration of the potato and water moves from ow concentration to high concentration so the water will move into the potato and the potato will become ridgid, But if you put salty water the salty water has a higher concentration then the potato so water will move out of the potato and the potato becomes soft.
Why did water diffuse out of a potato in a test tube of Na Cl?
Osmosis.
If you put sugar in a peeled potato what will happen?
Osmosis will happen. The water will move from the potato into the sugar solution. The potato will lose mass and shrink.
How does osmosis and diffusion limit the size of a cell?
diffusion and osmosis limit the size of a cell by how fast is can move
Is the size of Osmosis small or large?
Osmosis is actually related to the size of cellecular structure so I would say small
