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.
What process is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane?
This is the process of osmosis. The membrane allows a solvent (usually water) to move from an area with lower solute concentration to one with greater concentration.
How do you spell osmosis?
Really? osmosis.
Is excretory system osmosis or diffusion?
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.
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 many potatoes are needed to light a 5 watt light bulb?
The critical thing in a battery is not how much electrolyte (potato) is used but the area of the electrodes in contact with the electrolyte. A high current "potato battery" could be constructed by pureeing a few potatoes in a blender and coating long foil strips of the two different metals with a thin layer of this damp potato paste and cover the potato paste with tissue paper as an insulator to prevent short circuits followed by another thin layer of damp potato paste. Roll the layered sandwich of coated foil strips up (one metal, damp potato paste, tissue paper, damp potato paste, other metal, damp potato paste, tissue paper, damp potato paste), without letting the potato paste squeeze out or wrinkling the foil strips. The thinner the layers of the damp potato paste used the fewer potatoes needed, but the current will be the same as it would be with a thicker layer. Attach wires to the two foil strips and encapsulate the "potato dry cell" you have just made in paraffin to keep it from drying out. You will need to build several of these and connect them in series to get the voltage needed by your lightbulb. It will require some calculations to determine how much of each of the materials (i.e. dimensions of metal strips, potato puree, tissue paper) needed, but that is beyond the scope of this website.
What can be used to replace potato in osmosis?
Any root vegetables would be good. Some good ones could be yam or sweet potato.
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.
What are the red streaks inside russet potatoes?
Red streaks inside of a potato is what is known as potato disease, of pink rot. This fungus forms from cool weather or damp conditions.
