If the cell model weighs more after the elapsed time (30 min in this case), it can be determined that water has diffused INTO the cell model. However if the cell model weighs less after the elapsed time (30 min in this case), it can be determined that water has diffused out of the cell model. The rate of diffusion compared to other cell models being investigated in the experiment can be determined by comparing the change in mass to other cell models. For example, if a cell model containing glucose changed + 15.7 % in mass over 30 minutes and a cell model containing sucrose changed + 27.3 % in mass over 30 minutes, it can be assumed that the diffusion rate in the sucrose model is faster than in the glucose model.

You would have to have a way to measure solute concentrations and such in order to determine water potentials and what not. Hope this helps, just my insight from completing AP Biology Investigation 4.

How can I make DIY fermentation weights for my homemade fermented foods?

You can make DIY fermentation weights for your homemade fermented foods by using small glass jars filled with water or sanitized rocks wrapped in plastic wrap. Place these weights on top of your fermenting foods to keep them submerged in the brine.


Why tractor tyres are filled with water?

Acctually tractor tires are not filled with water but sometimes with calcium chloride, refered to by some as 'fluid'. This fluid adds weight for the tractor by reducing the use of heavy and cumbersome mounted weights.

A food processor packages orange juice in small jars. The weights of the filled jars are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 10.5 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.3 ounce. Find the proportion of all jars packaged by this process that have weights that fall below 10.875 ounces.


How can you tell if something is filled gold?

To determine if something is filled gold, you can look for a hallmark such as "GF" for gold-filled, or "14k GF" for 14 karat gold-filled. You can also have it tested by a jeweler who can determine the gold content using acid testing or electronic testing. Gold-filled items are made by bonding a layer of gold onto a base metal, so they will have a different weight and characteristics compared to solid gold items.


What is the relationship between mass and rate of diffusion?

Molecular weight and diffusion are inversely related. The heavier the molecule, the slower the rate of diffusion.Related Information:This means that for heavier molecules, (i.e, higher molecular mass substances), the rate of diffusion is slower, because the available energy can't move them as quickly as the smaller molecules over the same distance.Analogy: Imagine the difference between having to carry an empty bucket up a ladder, and then one filled with sand. With highest effort, it would take longer to carry the bucket filled with sand to the top of the ladder, than it would the empty one.


How do you determine electron configuration?

In general, you use the Aufbau Principle which indicates the order in which the shells and orbitals are filled. You just have to learn it and then you can determine the electron configuration of the elements.


How does osmosis and diffusion help organ transplants?

Organs to be transplanted lack oxygen, nutrients and other essential materials, since they have been idle for a long time.Osmosis and diffusion help these organs filled with these essential materials, such as water, nutrients and materials, as if they were attached in the human body.BTW, osmosis is the flow of water from less concentration of solutes to high. Diffusion is the scattering of particles from higher cont to lower.


Can 2 filled containers have different weights but the same capacities?

Absolutely. A pound of lead would require a small container, whereas a pound of fried rice would require a much larger container.


Does migration cause cultural diffusion?

Yes, migration can cause cultural diffusion as people bring their beliefs, customs, and traditions to new places. This can lead to the exchange of ideas, practices, and customs between different cultures, enriching and influencing each other.


What is the diffusion of water through 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.
