  1. Lab 4 Diffusion and Osmosis

  2. Purpose • Learning Objectives • • To investigate the relationship among surface area, volume, and the rate of diffusion • • To design experiments to measure the rate of osmosis in a model system • • To investigate osmosis in plant cells • • To design an experiment to measure water potential in plant cells • • To analyze the data collected in the experiments and make predictions about • molecular movement through cellular membranes • • To work collaboratively to design experiments and analyze results • • To connect the concepts of diffusion and osmosis to the cell structure and function

  3. Concepts • Selectively permeable membrane • Diffusion and osmosis • Hypertonic, isotonic, hypotonic • Water potential • Water flows from high to low water potential • WP = PP + SP • PP = generally 0 • SP = -iCRT • I = how many particles it dissolves into (ionic 2 or more, molecular 1) • C = molarity • R = .0831 • T = temp in Kelvin

  4. 3 Parts • Part 1: Use artificial cells to study relationship of surface area to volume • Part 2: Create models of living cells to explore osmosis and diffusion • Part 3: Explore osmosis in living cells (Elodea)

  5. Procedure 1 • 1. Test phenolphthalein color change • 2. Cut out different cell sizes • 3. Put the cells into acid or base to test how far the color change will penetrate • How will you know what the best cell size ratio is?

  6. Procedure 2 • Use dialysis tubing as a semipermeable membrane • Use different solutions (sucrose, glucose, NaCl, albumin protein, pure water) inside the “cell” and outside the cell • Observe the changes that happen in the tubing… what will we measure? • What will this show? • Design Your Own Experiment (DYOE!) • What else can you test about osmosis and diffusion?

  7. Procedure 3 • Use Elodea plant to test osmosis • Draw the normal cell appearance under a microscope • Predict what one of the solutions in part 2 would do the cells • Test one of the solutions from part 2 on your plant cells and redraw the plant cells to see if you were right! • DYOE! • Use potatoes, determine the unknown molarities of the sucrose beakers… how?
