Effect Of Sucrose Concentration On C Melo

From the graph, R2 can be extrapolated from the y-axis and the corresponding value on the x-axis (the point of intersection on the curve) gives the concentration of the unknown solution.

As the Concentration of the Sucrose Solution decreases, the more the potato’s mass increases. This is due to the solution being hypertonic. So, as the solute concentration gets lower, the potato’s water concentration will get higher, therefore more water particles from the solution will absorbed by the potato. Some changed very little in mass because the concentrations of the H2O molecules in the potato and outside the potato were equal. This equality in concentration is called Isotonic.

We know that water will move through a membrane from more free water to less free water. The higher the solute concentration is, the less free water there is. All of the sucrose solutions are being put in pure water, but the ones with the most sucrose will need the most water to diffuse inside and bring the free water levels to equilibrium, and the ones with less will need less water to diffuse.

7. Explain how incubation plant tissues in a series of dilutions of sucrose can give an

How do different concentrations of sucrose solutions (0M, 0.2M, 0.4M, 0.6M, 0.8M, 1M) affect the mass of potato cores when in sucrose solution?

Though the theory following the hypothesis is correct and the experiment was carried out with as much attention as possible in a high school laboratory, the results obtained were still indicative of a few errors and did not support the predicted hypothesis. From the results obtained it can be concluded that as the concentration of sucrose increases the average percentage change in mass decreases. This is because the salt concentration inside the potato cubes of 10%, 15% and 20% concentration is less that in the salt concentration on the sucrose solution, thus the three cubes submerged in the 10% - 20% concentrated solution lost mass (hypertonic). However the cube submerged

In this study we constructed we researched whether different sucrose concentrations affect the rate of osmosis. In order to do this, we constructed artificial cells out of dialysis tubing filled with 20% sucrose and 40% sucrose and weighed them every 10 minutes for 90 minutes. In doing so, we concluded that the higher the sucrose concentration, the faster the rate of osmosis.

This lab investigates the effects of Sucrose concentration on cell respiration in yeast. Yeast produces ethyl alcohol and CO2 as a byproduct of anaerobic cellular respiration, so we measured the rate of cellular respiration by the amount of CO2

Determining the effect of varying sucrose concentration on the rate of anaerobic cell respiration in yeasts

Osmosis is defined as the tendency of water to flow through a semipermeable membrane to the side with a lower solute concentration. Water potential can be explained by solutes in a solution. The more positive a number is more likely it will lose water. Therefore should water potential be negative the cell the less likely it will lose water. In using potatoes the effects of the molarity of sucrose on the turgidity of plant cells. According to Clemson University, the average molarity of a White potato is between .24 M and .31 M when submerged in a sorbitol solution. This experiment was conducted with the purpose of explaining the relationship found between the mass in plants when put into varying concentrations of sucrose solutions. Should the potatoes be placed in a solution that contains 0.2M or .4M of sucrose solution it will be hypotonic and gain mass or if placed in .6M< it will be hypertonic and lose mass instead. Controlled Variables in this lab were: Composition of plastic cups, Brand of Russet Potatoes, Brand of Sweet Potatoes and the Temperature of the room. For independent variable that caused the results recorded it was the different Sucrose concentrations (0.0M, 0.2M, 0.4M, 0.6M, 0.8M, 1M). The dependent variable was the percentage change from the initial weighs to the final. The cup with .4 molarity was the closest to an isotonic solution and was used as the control group for the lab. Water potential is the free energy per mole of water. It is

Osmosis is a special type of diffusion where water molecules move down a concentration gradient across a cell membrane. The solute (dissolved substance) concentration affects the rate of osmosis causing it either to speed the process up or slow it down. Based on this, how does different concentrations of sucrose affect the rate of osmosis? If sucrose concentration increases in the selectivity-permeable baggies, then the rate of osmosis will increase.

Effect of Sucrose Solution on Osmosis Aim: The aim of the experiment is to show how varying the concentration of sucrose solution affects osmosis by changing different molar solutions of sucrose and water and how it affects the potato. Introduction: In this investigation I will be exploring the effect of varying concentration of sucrose sugar solution on the amount of activity between the solution and the potatoes. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from a high water concentration to a low water concentration.

After we completed our experiment, we used the equation, Y=-iCRT, where i was the ionization constant (1), C was molarity (.2, .4, .6, .8, 1), R was the pressure constant (.0831), and T was the temperature of the room in Kelvin (294 degrees). The hotter the temperature of the room, the faster the experiment will go. In the experiment, when the molarity of sucrose was at .4M, the molar concentration of sucrose had a water potential that was equal to the potato tissue water potential, meaning that the potato cell has reached equilibrium. The initial and final mass of the potato at .4 M was .3g, so there was no change in mass.

If the amount of sucrose increases, then the rate of osmosis will also increase. When distilled water is placed in a dialysis bag acting as a semipermeable membrane and placed into distilled water there should be no weight change because the concentration is balanced both inside and outside the bag. When a solution if 15%, 30% sucrose in a dialysis bag and that bag is placed into distilled water it should gain weight because the water will diffuse from a high concertation to a low concertation. But when distilled water is placed in a solution of 30% sucrose it should lose weight because the sucrose solution will diffuse into the distilled water because there is more concertation inside than outside of the bag. Diffusion is where a substance

The hypothesis is that when cells are put in a solution with a different water potential than inside of them, cells will gain or lose water. If concentration of solution is the same, there will be no change in mass.
